June 1 Ukulele Jam

Ukulele time again!

Come to our ukulele jam! This Wednesday, June 1, 7pm at the Kingston Community House. We'll share our songs while playing our favorite four-stringed instrument. If you'd like, bring copies of your favorite songs. I'll bring a few songs too. Or if you just want to sit back and strum along, that's okay too.

Now that the weather is warming up, it's time to think about jamming in the park. I propose June 22 as our first park jam for this season, in City Park. Later, we'll add dates for July and August.

Remember, we jam at the Kingston Community House, 99 York Street in downtown Kingston, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month (excluding holidays). 7pm. The cost is $1 per jam. If you haven't yet printed off your own copy of our favorites document, you can download it here.

Cheers! Hans
