Sunshine, Sand, Surf, Sunscreen, Soda Pop, and Strummin' your favorite ukulele. What could be better? Join us while we strum tunes of summer. How about "Summertime" "Summer in the City" "Hot Fun in the Summertime" "Summer Wind" "In the Summertime" "Summer Breeze" "Here Comes the Sun" "All Summer Long" "Summer Nights" and more.
You can strum your favorite song as a song leader. Just send along a legible PDF in the key you wish to sing. No cell phone pictures of crumpled pages please.
Below is the preliminary song list. Several songs already have leaders but there are many more that don't. To fill out the strum we need about 26 songs with leaders. Of course, we are happy to have songs that are not on the list which can be sent to Jack.nolish@gmail.com
The strum is about 10 days away and due to the holiday weekend and some family travel, we are a little behind getting the list/set ready to strum. Please review the list. We need 6-8 more songs with leaders. Please make your selection and let me know by Monday 7/14.
