The last jam of the summer is this week, on Wednesday, September 17, at the Royal Tavern. The days are getting cooler. But we can still keep warm playing the ukulele and singing our favorite songs.
The jam begins at 7:00pm with a beginners' workshop. After the break, we'll resume with our usual open jam, where you can demonstrate that song you've been practicing. Or lead the group. Or just sit back and strum along. Since the KingstonFest event is coming up, we will continue to practice the proposed repertoire, and pare down the list to fit a 30 minute set. If you haven't yet committed to joining us on Saturday October 4, please do. The more ukulele players, the better. But do indeed come to the Wednesday jam even if you can't attend the event.
And as usual, please bring along copies of your favorite songs. It's always great to learn new songs from others.
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.
One other event coming up soon: The Kingston Sing-along Society holds its first session on Friday, October 3, 7:30-9:30pm at 206 Concession Street. Instruments, including ukulele, are welcome. This will give you a chance to jam with a variety of other musicians, as well as sing some great traditional folk songs. This should be a lot of fun, and hopefully will be a regular monthly event.
Cheers! Hans
