Ukulele Jam in Historic Lower Mills: Sunset Singalong
Details
• What we'll do
We will run through our "Sunset Singalong for Seniors" songbook; we will sing and play while standing with printouts on music stands, as we will be playing these songs the following Wednesday outdoors for a public singalong at sunset. These are songs that known by residents in Massachusetts currently aged 65 to 90, and do not require to read from lyric sheets. Ideal songs are those with a lot of repetition, such as the same CHORUS, e.g. "Old Cape Cod."
To get us started, please download the first edition of this songbook of 34 songs (53-page PDF 5 MB). If you have any suggestions not in the songbook, please message ANNE KU via the meet-up or e-mail or bring copies if it's after the 6th of June.
PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BELOW FOR UPDATES.

Weather permitting, we may go outside to play after we are all gathered, tuned up and warmed up inside.
This is a unique opportunity to play music in the former administrative building of the oldest chocolate factory in America. Walter Baker Artist Lofts has a permanent exhibit by the artists in residence. The common room (with temporary exhibit) is on the right-hand side of the front entrance. This is a grassroots initiative to introduce the joy of ukulele to this part of Boston. Location is visible from the Milton-T station.
