Uke Club, Fri. Feb 28, 2014

The GREAT news is, the club has an accidental/new secretary!  An angel visited today to create an index of songs in the uke club binder. We have a few 2 chord songs, we have lots of 3 chord songs, and she listed a category of 4 chord songs as well.

The same aforesaid angel also refiled the loaner hand outs back in to the book after we played them, so I won't publish a song list this week...  isn't that cool?  In future though, we will also keep a list.

I remember we did the Lion Sleeps Tonite as both the almost-opener and closer.  Also that we had agreed to start with my request, the Danny Michel tune, What Colour Are You, as some complete beginners showed up, creating conflicting priorities, and that we then proceeded as planned - the newbies did like it, and mostly could keep up, but only a few folks sang tho.  We also did a new song from at least 2 members, really stretched out the paperwork for Will The Circle Be UnBroken by adding the real words, enjoyed Five Foot Two at a very perky pace and added Dreams back to the set.

I know I rang in Practice Room Rental Contributions at $32 less tea expense.  I think we resolved to keep music stands to a maximum of 5 and gather around that minimized maximum of photocopies.  We do 2 sided copies as 2 pages one sided and, also talked about an upcoming workshop with Eve Goldberg, a virtual ensemble project we are interested in being a part of, and the two uke-centric events this weekend being hosted by Cynthia Kinnunen.  We also created a mailing list to be maintained by a second accidental/volunteer secretary, ha.  And, it was good that I formally announced the Shopping Break, because there were transactions that needed to get done, well before the registers were closed down, ha.
