THE TEAM OF 2013

October 18

Hi All,
You will notice a transposing page below this. Handy to have.
If you can't follow it bring it along next week and someone will show you how it works.
The following is a list of songs to practise for the Christmas party.
You are my sunshine.
Midnight Special.
Cotton Fields.
Red River Valley.
He's got the whole world.
Oh, rock my soul.
Sailing.
Also can I have some feed back wether you all would like to go to lunch after our last session in
December. If you are interested we will have to book pretty soon. Last year we went to Bhan Thai
at Springwood. Quite cheap, good menu and very quiet.If anyone has any other suggestions let us know.
See you all Thursday.
Kevin.

Hi All,
Just one song this week. Hope you all like it.
Thanks for the session last week I really enjoyed it.
Magret Sko sends everyone her best from the States.
She has a new ukulele and can't wait to get back and give it a good workout.

See you all Thursday.
Kev.

July 18

Please print out new songs for Thursday.
We will be able to have a bit of fun with "Oh, rock my soul."
Will bring along a recording of Peter, Paul, and Mary singing it and you will get the idea.
looking forward to seeing you all Thursday.

JULY 2

Please print out new songs and add to your folders.
Class resumes at Tall Trees Thursday July 11.
For those who want to we will be at my place this Thursday at 10.00 a.m.
Also will everyone please practise the shuffle strum.
This term we will be learning a couple of new strums to add a bit of difference to our songs.
In order to do this we must all get the shuffle strum off.

May 20

Hi All,
Please print out new song.
If I have time I will put another song up before Thursday.
It may be an idea to use this song as our last song every week as suggested be Michael.
Also when we sing the quiet line in Waltzing Matilda it might sound better if we just
sing it and don't play. Let me know what you think.
Keep strumming,
Kevin.

New Song

Hi everyone,
Please print out new song.
Will bring iPod with music for red book Thursday so we know what the song is supposed to sound like.
Enjoy your week.
See you all Thursday.
Kevin.

Hi all,
Please print out new copy of Waltzing Matilda (version by Banjo Sue Patterson )
Also please play the cd in the red book concentrating on the 1st verse of:
(1) Song 44 Leaning OnA Lamp-Post.
(2) Song 45 Ukulele Lady.
We will only play the first verse of these 2 songs until we have them right.
Then we will move on to the rest of the song.
See you all Thursday.

                  CARRY ON UKULELE

We meet every Thursday during the school term. We play between 10.00a.m. and 12.00 noon.

The venue is Tall Trees at Tanah Merah in the library.

The only requirements are your own ukulele and membership of U3A.

Our main aim is to enjoy ourselves by playing and singing easy songs. We help each other to learn new chords and strumming patterns.

We follow Garald's moto: "Have fun and if you can't play a chord then cheat."
