I have been practising in the garden but had to stop - the
magpies are laughing at me. No it's not the neighbours!

Nice to hear from you Zig. Hope you are all keeping well. We
will have to wait a bit longer for the next batch of Bara Brith.
Hope AuntyMary is doing ok. And say hello to Erica too. Stay
safe

Morning all,
And welcome to week 2 of our strum-a-long get together online.
Week two already.
DOESN’T TIME FLY WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUN!
😬😬😬
I’ve chosen songs that we may not have done in a while. And some
that reflect my weird sense of humour.
😜😜😜
Here goes :
Dedicated Follower of Fashion. (Watch the Intro)
Sunny Afternoon. Well it has been lovely hasn’t it?
From a Jack to a King ( Get the speed right, folks. Cos I never
can!)
HERE COMES THE IRONY!
Bad Moon Rising ( all have a practice of the intro)
Even the Bad Times Are Good - That Bm takes me by surprise too!
Enjoy Yourself ( yes that ska beat is awkward, but I find I do
a Little “bounce” to help me keep the beat. - DON’T ALL WATCH
ME!
Happy Together. Dedicated to Joe
Teach Your Children Well. Dedicated to all home educators.
I Will Survive - It seems to be the anthem everyone is playing/
singing at the moment. Remember, we don’t do a slow intro.
And finally, as a tribute to Ron,
On the Road Again.
Well that’s all for now. Keep safe, keep in touch and keep
strumming.
Cheers, Di x

I am not allowed in work for 12 weeks. Thank god for my ukelele.
It is a shame we haven't recorded some of these onto a cd and
copied them for members. We could have still played together.
Maybe a thought for the future. Hope everyone keeps safe and
well.see you all soon. Yvonne r.xxx

Bin wondering why me Uke doesn’t sound right. Realised now that
I have to change my drumsticks for a plectrum. Wonder if I
stroked the strings with the sticks I would get a sound like a
violin. SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS BUT THEY ARE CLOSED NOW.
HE HE. Keep safe all. TEZ

[/quote]Well we may be able to help here. There are recordings
of Sedgleys songs in MP3 format so you can play along with them
(as if it was a CD). They are being put in a G-Drive folder so
you will be able to access it and play whatever you choose to
strum along with.

Morning all,
Here we are again. Week 3 and I hope everyone is exactly the
same as before. In other words everyone is well and still
living the life of luxury at home. Enjoying the glorious
weather 🤨🤨🤨 and revelling in the
fabulous entertainment we have on the television
box🙄🙄🙄🙄. Never mind, you can
always play your
ukulele!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳&#
129395;
I hope you have noticed that thanks to Yvonne for mentioning it,
but Keith and Robert have downloaded mp3 recordings of songs we
have done. Some date back to when DTE was leading. I hope
these are useful to you and thank you to Keith and Robert for
secretly recording
us🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍
;♂️
(Watch What you say folks there’s a couple of spies in the
room)😁😁
Anyway hope they help you.
Here’s this weeks choices. Enjoy.
Putting On the Style. (DTY will have to get his car horn out!)
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer (a cheerful ditty about a serial killer)
It’s Only a Paper Moon. (Use the hint at the bottom for playing
a F#m)
Nowhere Man. (Take it at a steady speed and you can get it.)
Rollin in my Sweet Baby’s Arms. (You can play it standing on
your head, I bet,)
Swinging On a Star. (Lovely, cheerful song, not chosen enough)
Here Comes My Baby. (Practice moving from G to D)
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (I do wonder, after this lot is
over)
You Are My Sunshine. (Another cheery song. Try singing the
harmony too, it’s lovely.)
And finally, to celebrate the news that Trev and Juls are back
home.
500 Miles. Welcome home guys. I’ll speak to you soon. Xx
That’s it for now. Keep in touch, keep well and keep strumming.

Morning all,
Hope you are keeping well. Here are this week’s songs for
your delectation. Ooooooh Mrs. I’ve come over all
‘Good Old Days’. But none of you will remember that,
eh? You’re all far too young.. What was the guys name
with the gavel? No prizes for the answer but I’d like to
know.
Anyway, here’s the songs to strum to and all of them are
available on the forum as mp3s to play along to as well.
Hope you enjoy them.
Country Roads. An easy one to start you off.
The Deadwood Stage. Must practise the intro, when to start
singing.
Fly Me to the Moon. Would it be safer up there at the moment?
Hello Mary Lou. Another classic that is a pleasure to play.
I’ll See You In My Dreams. Not everyone’s favourite
Oops sorry, Keith. But we should practise it.
It Must Be Love. Tricky little number, the timing is crucial in
between chorus and verses.
Little Things Mean a Lot. The singing is tricky too. But a
lovely song, I think.
Now here’s where you will have to concentrate
MR. BLUE SKY! We haven’t done this for a very long time.
But it can be done well. Listen to the mp3 to help.
Then from the sublime to the ridiculous
Pearly Shells. Practise your dance moves too! I’ll be
looking for volunteers.
And then finally, to end on a little bit of competition within
your household.
Roaring Twenties Medley. I wouldn’t like to create any
arguments but you know the ladies always win!
That’s it for now. But. Here’s a little extra
information.
We have been asked about using a website called Zoom in order
to have a strumalong together. We have looked into it and it may
be possible if we have enough people interested. There is a fee
involved for the club, which is approximately £12 per month,
although I understand it is free for the first forty minutes.
If enough strummers are interested and can work the technology,
we may be able to begin our own sessions. At the moment I know
other groups are producing the same thing, via Facebook. If you
are interested in our own strumalong, then let us know. Thanks.
Take care, keep safe and keep strumming.
Cheers everyone,
Di x
