Morning all,
Hope everyone is fit and well. The weather is great, so that should keep everyone’s spirits up, except the hay fever sufferers. But a strumalong should help too.
We had a very successful meet up last Thursday. With a few things to iron out, but for a first go it seems everybody enjoyed it. We will be meeting again at 8:10 this Thursday, playing the selection of songs that I will choose, initially. Then everyone can know the order in advance. Following that, we will go “round the room, “ as usual, but if you would message me with your choice beforehand, then we will be able to hear Strummers’s choices clearly as I can announce them straight away.
Another suggestion, was to have a short break to allow strummers to fetch a cuppa, or whatever is your poison, or to chat together. We will give this a try too.
So, on to the set list
By the way, Thursday (tomorrow) is St. George’s Day so my choices are mainly British songs. Happy birthday William Shakespeare too!
Act Naturally, an easy-going Beatles song, sung by Ringo, I believe.
All My Loving. Sticking with the Beatles theme, the AmMj7 is easier to play than say!
I’m into Something Good. Remember ladies, second time round don’t sing the extra line at the end of the chorus.
Little Things Mean a Lot. Awwww. Important to remember that, these days.
Oom Pah Pah. From the sublime to the ridiculous!
Sunny Afternoon. You won’t hear the bass intro so keep the count in your head.
Tickle My Heart. Again, don’t panic over the C diminished. It’s easy.
With a Little Help From My Friends. Not done this for a while. See if you remember it.
And last but not least.
Old Time Medley No. 1. Couldn’t be more English if we tried.
Well that’s all, I think for now. You should have received an “invitation “ from Keith, giving you the details, passwords etc. If not, contact Keith or myself. Or, if you want to join us for the first time, get in touch.
Oh, by the way, if you wish to go through some new songs we are introducing in the new book, coming out soon. We will be having a “Last Tuesday of the Month,” next week on the 28th April.
See you soon, stay safe and keep strummin.
