Revisiting Some Old Friends

Our Christmas performances are now a part of the Mentone Ukes growing history! And what a success they were! Join us at our last regular session of the year where we play a couple of our new Christmas songs but primarily focus on a small selection of the songs we’ve enjoyed playing this year. During this session we will play through songs that contain the chords A, Am, C, C7, D7, E7, Em, F, G, and G7 — all chords we’re familiar with. Each song in our session will contain some of these chords. Some of the songs will give us an opportunity to incorporate textures like chucking and percussion elements (which we will review). So this will be a fun session to close out 2023: What Child is This (warm-up); Blowing in the Wind; Don’t Think Twice; Folsom Prison Blues; I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing; King of the Road; On the Wings of a Dove; Plastic Jesus; Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Judy Garland version); Stand by Me; and I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (closing). Each song can be found on our Mentone Ukes Song Collection file (Mentone Ukes website under the caption Songs). We will be using the projector. See you on Saturday and bring a friend!
