Holiday dinner / Green Song picking event - COME OUT AND PLAY!!!

You're all invited to Chez Lisa (Lisa T's place, in Chatham) for a celebration of the holidays and also of this past year's music! If you've been coming out to play with us then you're invited, even if you're new and I don't know your name or contact info - - - so if you want to come, EMAIL ME at morristownukejam@gmail.com and I'll give you Lisa's address and phone #.

The event will have two activities, but as always the purpose is fun and love. So here are the two activities:

DINNER. Lisa will be making meatballs, mac & cheeze and chicken kebabs, and she'll have some drinks. Beyond that if you'd like to contribute you can bring a dish based on your last name:
A-I - appetizers
J-M - salads
N-Z - desserts

SONG-PICKING. (Throughout.) We have a tradition of celebrating each year with a "Green Songbook"; i.e., the ten songs from the prior year that we deem best for playing on the Green. We'll be compiling this next Green Songbook, #11, with 10 songs from 2025 (out of our 10 songbooks from 2025). Our decisions will consider the following:
--- Well known and well loved. The kind of song people on the Green recognize quickly.
--- Not crazy hard (so most of our folks can play it).
--- Have some style and work well for group playing.

No need to prep for that unless you'd like to; but we'll narrow these 100 songs quickly down to our "short list", then play through the questionable ones so we can finalize our winning 10.

PLAYING. I know I said TWO activities - - - so I lied. OF COURSE we'll be playing! We'll do a good amount of playing as part of our song-picking, but I expect we'll play more as well. (Perhaps some holiday selections!)

And... that's it! If you'd like to consider the songs beforehand, or if you perhaps can't make it but would still like to add your 2 cents, here are the songbooks from 2025:
