At Tomorrow's Choir Practice

8:30am

with a hoarse voice no doubt,
i am going to accuse my friend Rachel
of never singing the same thing twice ha.

it reminds me of being in the choir led by Tannis Slimmon
which i loved.
then, it was a friend that pointed out the beautiful, instictive, charming, VARIETY ha.

*
i am really, honestly so glad for it.

and, i love the words

divine spring will arrive, the hills and fields will be verdant
divine spring will arrive, the grain will joyfully wave,
divine spring will arrive, the earth will be covered with blossoms
the trees will clothed with green and adorned with blossoms.

"let's start with the mistakes. in the words, lol".

L&M Uke Club Meeting, Saturday April 27, 2013 1-3pm, + noon session for Uke Kids! Club

Aloha!

It is said that, according to Queen Lili'uokalani  (the last Hawaiian monarch), the word ukulele means “the gift that came here,” from the Hawaiian words uku (gift or reward) and lele (to come).  Will you come, with your instrument, to the next Guelph Uke Club meeting?

We will gather on Saturday, April 27 from 1-3 on the 2nd level of the store, in our largest lesson studio. Please join us!  An RSVP is appreciated because seating is limited, as is a $6 cover charge.

Note that we are also offering a noon Uke Kids club session the very same day! 

You are also encouraged to bring a simple song to share and lead the group in learning - or, a song to perform for us in an acou stic open mic/song circle format.  

New Song Suggestions so far (+ the chords to know) =

Lean On Me C, F, Em, G, 

Hallelujah C, Am, F, G, E7 (good idea, thanks Bev)

Can't Help Falling In Love With You, C, G, F, Em, Am, B7, Dm (pdf and audio attached, thanks Cynthia!)

Looking forward to singing and strumming with you soon!
