Verna, Barry, Linda, Lana, Heather, AJ, Louise, Lynn, and Lorna met upstairs in the gallery.

We played: Wabash Cannonball (brought by Barry), Silver Wings, Harvest Moon, and Grow Old With You. We tried Something Stupid from the Vancouver Circle book but decided we should work on it first individually at home.

We then played: Sweet Caroline, Wagon Wheel, Five Hundred Miles? of Elbow Room at Lynn's request (or maybe it was only 50?), Walk Away, I Believe in Music (from Petey Mack's arrangement), Suitcase in my Hand, House of Gold, Jail House (on the drive), Cryin' Time, l'll Fly Away, The Cuckoo (a new song Louise brought), Fannin Street, One Tin Soldier, Michael Row your Boat Ashore in C (Verna's arrangement which is on  the drive and on the blog. There was some confusion as some of us had another version in G which we tried first. Also, Verna wondered if we could try it a little slower next time), Wildflowers, I'll See you in my Dreams, Just Because at a fast clip led by Lana with a big finish and our signature set ending song.

We decided that we would play at Tempo Festival at the evening session, playing Harvest Moon (which sounded the best it ever has tonight we think), and another song yet to be chosen. EDIT:  the festival normally only hosts one evening session which would be Tuesday, April 10, so, please let us know next week if that still works.

Keep your ear to the ground and your eyes peeled (or wait for an email from Lana) for additional information regarding the Ukulele Club of Winnipeg Prairie Jamboree Ukulele Festival this September.
