Exactly four years ago today, nine ukulele players met for the first time at the Kingston School of Music. This was the beginning of the regular ukulele jams of the Kingston Ukulele Society. We've had our ups and downs (as described in my previous blog posting), but the jams continue, stronger than ever, thanks to you, the devoted ukulele players of Kingston! This Saturday, we resume doing performances with a 25 minute gig at the Sustainable Kingston KingstonFest, 11:30am, at St. Lawrence College.
But now it's time for the first ukulele jam of our fifth year, this Wednesday, October 1, at the Royal Tavern. We'll start with a workshop at 7:00pm. After the break, we'll resume at 8:00pm with our usual open jam. We'll continue to practice our proposed repertoire for KingstonFest, and narrow it down to six or seven songs. These songs should appeal to everyone, even if you cannot join us for the performance. (However, the more ukulele players we get for Saturday, the better!) As usual, you'll have your chance to show off the songs you're practicing, or lead the group in your favorite songs. If the latter, be sure to bring copies. Or if you like, you can just sit back and strum along.
Here are the PDF's for the proposed repertoire:
We jam in the Royal Tavern, 344 Princess Street. Parking is normally available on Princess Street. Or park in the lot at the back of the Royal, off Brock Street, just past the fire hall. Be sure to show your appreciation to the Royal by visiting the bar and purchasing a beverage or two. Don't forget that they also offer soft drinks, in addition to their assortment of beers and other alcoholic drinks.
Cheers! Hans
