Springtime Performances Practice!

It’s time to get ourselves ready for our upcoming Spring performances at the Farmers Market at Mentone and the MERF luncheon! But first, our own Romey Atchley will demo “Lasagna” by Al Yankovic, a parody based on the melody and tempo of the Ritchie Valens’ song “LaBamba.” This song has a fun strumming pattern and the lyrics will make you a-hungry! After Romey’s demo the group will play through the song. Afterwards, we will begin to play through our Spring Performance Song Set which includes some old familiar tunes that folks enjoy hearing us play as well as a few newer songs added to our repertoire. The Song Set for this session includes Jambalaya as our warm-up song, Margaritaville, Hound Dog (blues version), Wagon Wheel, In the Jailhouse Now, Hesitation Blues, Folsom Prison Blues, Take Me Home Country Roads, Amazing Grace, and King of the Road. Our closing song will be Will the Circle. We may not get through all of these songs and if not, that’s ok. We will take our time as need be. But we are creating a great song set! As always, newcomers and beginners of all ages are always welcomed to attend our FREE sessions. We offer a beginner’s lesson at the same time as our regular session, and loaner ukuleles are available. So plan to come this Saturday and bring a friend! Strum and be happy!
