Hello!

We will meet on Monday, May 20 at Guitar Solutions in Ontario. Yes! I am back from my travels and ready to play.

I don't have any new songs to post, so I'm posting links to ukulele festivals around the Northwest. These look like fun--summer camps for grownups! They offer workshops and jam sessions, so it's a good chance to learn new techniques and hone your playing.

Of course, don't forget our local Weiser Fiddle Festival. Although I don't see any ukulele workshops offered, I know that several folks take their ukes and play during the jam sessions at the campground.

I am working on adding the links to the "SONGS" page. It looks like it will take awhile, so if you are new to the group, please scroll through all of the archives to print all of the songs we currently play.

Hi Strummers!

Our next meeting is April 15 (Tax Day!)at 6:30, at Guitar Solutions. I'll be in Missoula doing author visits so Tim and John will lead the group. Here's a couple of new songs from Tim:

I'VE JUST SEEN A FACE

Feel free to bring copies of new songs, especially if you can lead the singing, and also new strummers!

Best, Judy

Our next meeting is April Fool's Day, Monday, April 1 at 6:30pm, Guitar Solutions in beautiful downtown Ontario.We welcome new members, so bring a friend, or two, or three!

I'm working on our website to add a page that lists our songs. In the future, I hope to have all the links on one page. Please bear with me as I figure this out. For now, check all the previous posts to print out all the songs. 

As promised, here's the new, improved version of THE UNICORN:

THE UNICORN SONG

June sent in this John Denver song. It sounds great on the uke!

COUNTRY ROADS

Dreaming of summer? Here's the perfect song, courtesy of Maureen. "Oh, pool boy! I'm ready for another!"

We've also added BIRDS AND THE BEES from the Doctor Uke website:

Hope to see everyone on Monday!

I have taken THE UNICORN down to fix the chart--some of the chords were wrong. If you've already printed it, check back later for the new chords, or we can give them to you at our next meeting on April 1.

Thanks to the strummers who've requested songs! Your input is welcomed! I'll get them up as soon as I can.




Top 'O the Mornin' to ye!

Our next meeting will be March 18--the day after St. Patrick's Day. In the spirit of the season, I'm posting a few Irish songs . I hope you enjoy them!
