The groundhogs are tired from a busy holiday performance schedule. It’s time to relax with some holiday goodies and relaxing time for play along. We always welcome beginners, novices, and experienced players at all levels. Please bring some holiday treats. So far we have meat & cheese tray (and bread, condiments), cookies, Chex party mix, plates & napkins. Please let Lila or Hank A know what you can bring to share.
We know this is a busy time and many of us have other obligations. If you know you won’t be able to make it, please let Lila or Hank A know so we’ll have an idea of how many people to prepare for.
No special line up of songs–we’ll be choosing songs to sing and play together.
Moon Lake Library at 1pm CST Dec. 20, 2025

Romey has put together a set of covers and one original of mostly folk music by the Grateful Dead or a group member. Some of these songs go back over a 100 years. Below are links to the song set and videos of lesser known songs.
