November’s music: Say What?! Part 2

Next circle: Tuesday, November 5
7 to 9 PM
Sawchyn Guitars, 2132 Dewdney Avenue

Here’s the second round of gibberish songs; great for those of us who struggle to remember the words.

Nathan sent in a bonus song!

And I found a few more from our song book.

October’s music: Say what?!

Next circle: Tuesday, October 1
7 to 9 PM
Sawchyn Guitars, 2132 Dewdney Avenue

So may great song suggestions! We may have to do “Say what? Part 2” to fit them all in. These are the five new songs for October:

(Hooked on a Feeling is actually by B.J. Thomas, but we’ll do the “Ooga-Chaka” version popularized by Blue Swede.)

We also have these songs in our repertoire:

A special thank you to Rick, Barbara, Linda, Angie, Keith and Kristy for the suggestions!

October’s circle: Say what?!

Next circle: Tuesday, October 1

October’s circle is devoted to “non-lexical vocables” or those nonsense words that sneak into some songs.

We already have a few songs in our library, like “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” and “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah“, but send me your favourite musical gobbledegook.

And in case you’re interested in nonsense lyrics, my favourite language podcast, The Allusionist, has an episode all about this.

Music for September: Back to work

Tuesday, September 3
7 to 9 PM

I’ve worked up five work songs for our work-themed circle. Many thanks to Grace, Laura, Grant and Keith for the suggestions.

September 3: Back to work

Back to work, September 3

Tuesday, September 3
7 to 9 PM
Sawchyn Guitars, 2132 Dewdney Avenue

It’s September. Kids are heading back to school, summer vacations are over, and we’re going back to the shop.

For this month’s theme, send me you favourite “work songs”. For example: “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”, “Making It Work” and “Take This Job and Shove It”.

August’s circle: Ukes on the deck

Next circle: Tuesday, August 6
7–9 PM
Laura and Murray’s

It’s summertime and Laura and Murray have invited us to spend the next circle on their deck.

There won’t be any new songs. We’ve gotΒ more than 200 songsΒ in our collection, so let’s take turns picking our favourites.

I can’t post their address publicly, but I’ve sent it to the mailing list. (The sign up form is to your right.)

We’ll be back at the shop in September.

Music for July: Happy Canada Day

Next circle: Tuesday, July 2
7–9 PM
Malty National, 1130 15th Avenue

Here’s some more Canadiana for our library:

And, because I missed a request from last month’s “guilty pleasures” circle, here’s some ABBA for Angie.

See you all at the brewery!
