Morristown Uke Jam

Just because we're in lockdown... and possibly thousands of miles apart... that doesn't mean we can't play together! And don't worry, we WILL be following proper safety procedures. Just like the Brady Bunch, we'll each be isolated in our own little cells on the screen. This week we'll be celebrating our first ever TRAFFIC Jam, so bring me some Car Tunes and we'll go for a musical ride. Here are some songs in the MUJ files that fit pretty bluntly: -- 409 (The Beach Boys) -- Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell) -- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang -- Mercedes Benz -- Pink Cadillac (Bruce Springsteen) Here are some less obvious songs also in the MUJ files: -- Bus Stop (The Hollies) -- Crossroads (Robert Johnson) -- Good Times Roll (by The CARS, get it?) -- Hit The Road, Jack (Ray Charles) -- Key To The Highway (Big Bill Broonzy) -- King Of The Road (Roger Miller) -- Rocky Road To Dublin -- Take Me Home, Country Roads (John Denver) -- Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out (Bruce Springsteen) -- Truckin' My Blues Away (Blind Boy Fuller) -- Workin At The Car Wash Blues (Jim Croce) -- You Might Think (The CARS again) You’ll find all of the above on-theme songs (and hundreds more) in our "official" MUJ dropbox at: http://tinyurl.com/MUJ-Official-Files (If you choose to lead one of these just let me know and I'll move it over for you.) But you can send any song you like (preferably as PDFs) to [masked], and I’ll drop them into our THIS-WEEK JAM directory, created for this event, here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ldhryq0hqecf178/AABvPJOkmXx1kHLHLOta58dHa?dl=0 TAKE NOTE: The "official" start time for playing will be 7 pm; but the host will be online from 6:30 on to welcome and chat with any early-comers. SECOND NOTE: Our first round will be for PLAYALONGS only, from those who have sent me song sheets. If you have a song you want to play for us and don't have any song sheet to post, I'm sure we'll love it - but it'll need to wait for the second round. THIRD NOTE: If it's possible, I'm confident you'll enjoy this event more if you have TWO screens to work from, one for the video conference and one to bring up the song sheet. This is just a JAM, so there's no songbook; but you do get bonus points if you follow the theme. If you're a beginner and you just know one song (or three), DON'T be thinking you're not good enough to lead us. Believe you me, if you bring an easy song, HALF of the folks attending will be so, so, so glad you did. Here’s how it’ll work: • You click on the event link below. (Yes, you’ll be asked to click to download Zoom if you don’t have it; it won’t take long.) You’ll appear in our very own version of The Brady Bunch / Hollywood Squares. I.e., the camera on your laptop will help you join us online. • When the time comes to play a song, our host will MUTE everyone except the person leading. If it's a playalong, you can bring up the song sheet and follow the leader. • First round: The host will go down a list of participants who have sent song sheets that are now in that week's Jam directory. • Second round: Anyone can bring us anything they like, whether it’s a second playalong or perhaps something you just want to perform for us.

Just like the Brady Bunch, we'll each be isolated in our own little cells on the screen. Our theme for the week will be announced at the prior week's online jam and then posted here, and of course as always you can also be a ukulele rebel and bring us any off-theme song you like.
