Zenith, Judy, Lynn, Thelma, Verna, Cathie, Marge, Louise and Barry met at the gallery.  These nine folks strummed and sang 29 songs on the 29th!  According to Barry, such a serendipitous number association deserves a drink! 

Songs chosen were:  Rain and Snow, Rox in the Box, 500 Miles, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, Blowin’ in the Wind, Angeline the Baker, Annie’s Song, Moon River (special strum pattern), Fannin Street, Silhouettes, This World is Not My Home, I Can’t Even Walk, This Land is Your Land (version in the key of D has been added to the drive and blog), Take Me Home Country Roads, Breakin’ Up is Hard To Do, Bad Moon Rising, Grandpa Was a Carpenter, Workin Man, Wagon Wheel, Don’t Be Cruel, Union Maid, The Saskatoon Moon, We’ll Sing in the Sunshine, Someday You’ll Want Me to Want You, Let Me Be There, Daydream Believer, Go Lassie Go, Fifty Miles of Elbow Room, and our signature set ending song.  

It was good to have Lynn among us again after his holiday time and Heather, we hope you are well soon!  

Till next time, Verna

Not sure who has signed up for the Prairie Ukulele Jamboree at the end of September but Lana and I have just confirmed with organizer Tim Hogue and guest player/instructor Ukester Brown that he will be coming out to Carman on Sunday, September 30th for a short tour and stop at Syl's for ice cream. I'll be driving him and hope that everyone can come to meet us sometime between 1:15 and 2:00. It won't be a lot of time but bring a ukulele maybe just in case. More details as we have them but please keep that date and time open if you can.
