Individual Performances:

There were no individual performances at this meeting.

In-Depth Song Lesson:

We tackled "I'll See You in My Dreams" Part 2 of 5. You can download the music chords for this if you want to review. There was a "cheat" revealed which makes this part easier to play. You would have only learn this trick if you had attended the meeting.

Group Jam:

We played the following songs:

"Jamaica Farewell"

"Runaway" by The Del Shannons

"A Place in the Choir" as performed by Celtic Thunder Heritage

"Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" by Paul Simon

"Bad Moon Rising" by CCR Note: This song is turning out to be our club favorite.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Tokens

"Act Naturally" by The Beatles

"Que Sera Sera" by Doris Day

We had "difficulties" with some of these songs but at least we all had fun trying. Scroll down to the bottom of this page if you wanna review the music chord sheets. You can click the Down Arrow to download the files. For the other songs not listed below, go to our LI Uke Club Songbook.

We were originally planning to do Part 2b of the Strumming Workshop but there wasn't going to be enough time to get through it. It's probably better anyway to devote an entire meeting to the workshop.

Other News:
