Have you ever thought it would be fun to put some of your own lyrics in to a song you enjoy? Well, here's your opportunity...
1- Pick out a song (or two) you like to play on the ukulele. It can be as simple as Row, Row Your Boat or maybe a pop song on the radio that you like. It really doesn't matter.
2- Rewrite the lyrics with your own (like Weird Al Yankovic does). Just remember to keep it rated PG.
3- Write the new lyrics out with the song chords. Try to use a format similar to what we use on our website (chords in brackets) or at least a format that the group can easily follow.
4- Make a PDF of the document and send it to [masked] (if you don't have access to a PDF translator then send me the Word file and I can translate it for you). I will compile all the songs in to a single document for the March 29th jam.
5- When your song(s) comes up you can lead the group in playing along.
Here are some examples of people that have posted songs like this on the web:

We meet every other Friday in Brentwood. We start with a jam, rehearsal, or combo of both. No need for music stands as we project the chords and lyrics on a projection screen. Later we wrap up with a 30 or 40 minute open mike, where members perform for the group. Suggestions and volunteers for leading the jams, lessons and open mike session are always welcome. Whether you are an old pro or total newbie there are smiles all around just for you. See you soon!
