In attendance for the Wednesday night strum on Judy’s deck were: Linda, Ian, Marsh Kennedy (special guest from Alberta), Lorna, Louise, Lynn, Verna, Thelma, Cathie, Zenith, and Judy.  Judy's husband made a brief appearance (my guess is that he wisely retreated to a warmer spot!).  Judy offered her fine dining room chairs for comfort with our instruments and soon the wine appeared to help numb the coldness of our fingers in the chilly outside air (+ 16 Celsius).  

Marsh showed us his Fluke ukulele with its charming flat bottom and mellow sound.  He brought a whole package of songs for us to play.  Lorna generously copied bundles of them for us at her office (which gave her opportunity to don warmer clothing, too!) and so we were able to play each of Marsh’s songs:  My Little Runaway, With a Little Help from My Friends, Lyin’ Eyes, Silhouettes, Lookin’ Out My Back Door, Good Hearted Woman, Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You, Lay Down Sally, and Blue Skies. 

We also played songs from our inventory and quite happily went overtime before we agreed to end with our signature set ending song.  Gratefully, the warmth of Judy’s home invited us to hang around a bit to visit and munch on Verna’s goodness-infused Rice Krispie squares.  

It was our coldest summer Wednesday night so far and we played outdoors!  For sure, it was good to be together again.

Thanks Verna. Sounds like a great evening. If someone can save copies of the new songs to give to Lana they can likely be scanned and added to the drive. :)
