Music for January: Elvis lives!

Next circle: Tuesday, January 5
7PM
Sawchyn Guitars (2132 Dewdney Avenue)

Hello all! I hope everyone has been able to spend time with friends and family this holiday season. Was Santa good to those who still believe? Any new strings, tuners or ukuleles under the tree?

Music

Todd reminded me that January 8 is Elvis Presley’s birthday, so this month we’ll add a few more songs from the King to our repertoire.

• Blue Suede Shoes, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley (1956) video
• All Shook Up, Elvis Presley (1957) video
• Good Luck Charm, Elvis Presley (1961) video
• Can’t Help Falling in Love, Elvis Presley (1961) video
• Love Me Tender, Elvis Presley (1956) video
• Burning Love, Arthur Alexander, Elvis Presley (1972) video

PDFs

There was a problem with Burning Love in the PDFs. If’ you’ve already printed them out, here’s the correct version.

• Burning Love: GCEA (soprano, concert, tenor)
• Burning Love: DGBE (baritone)

The song books below have been fixed.

• New music: GCEA (soprano, concert, tenor)
• New music: DGBE (baritone)

• Complete songbook: GCEA (soprano, concert, tenor)
• Complete songbook: DGBE (baritone)

Ukuleles seem to be a popular Christmas present so we may have a few more people than usual. There may also be a few new members from Gary’s and Don’s ukulele classes and our appearance on CBC could also give us a bump. In order to get an idea of how many chairs to put out, please let me know either by email, a comment on this article on the website or add yourself to the Facebook event. There’s no need to reply in multiple places, though, as I don’t want to accidentally count you twice.

Happy New Year and I’ll see you on Tuesday!
