November CUUL Jam, Part 1

We're planning our first November ukulele get-together for Thursday, November 12th from 6:00 to 7:30 PM at Meadows Presbyterian Church, this time with a “Shalom, Ukulele!” theme ... an evening celebrating Jewish music and the remarkable contributions of Jewish songwriters to American popular music.

We'll wander from Yiddish and Hebrew favorites and Jewish camp songs to Fiddler on the Roof, Leonard Cohen, and classics from the Great American Songbook by notable Jewish composers and lyricists. It's an eclectic collection—some beautiful, some funny, some wonderfully familiar, and nearly all great fun to sing and play.

Bring along a copy of the attached songbook, grab your ukulele, and come ready to sing ... it'll be an evening of good songs, good company, and perhaps a little more joy in the world!

We'll be meeting in the Fellowship Hall at the aforementioned location on Angus Road. Park in the side parking lot and plan to enter through the front door at the front of the building -- our meeting room is on the right.

We normally gather in a circle on the 4th Thursday of each month and take turns selecting songs for the group to play and sing together, either from the songbook or from music folks have brought with them. There's no obligation to either choose or lead songs; other members are happy to help where needed. We play a variety of songs of all levels, and most assuredly, a good time will be had by all!
