Music for May: Female singer-songwriters

Next circle: Tuesday, May 1
7–9 PM

I’ve prepared four new songs for May’s circle. Thank you, everyone, for the suggestions.

I’ll warn you now, Closer to Fine is a finger stretcher, but it was also the most requested song and this is the easiest version of the chords I could find. I’ve linked to a video of someone playing this arrangement on ukulele.

We’ll also play these favourites from our song book:

See you all next week!

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who came out to our anniversary circle. I had a lot of fun and all the soloists sounded amazing!

May’s theme is female singer-songwriters. I’ve been given a few suggestions, but we have plenty of room for more.

  • You’re So Vain – Carly Simon
  • River Road – Sylvia Tyson
  • You Were on My Mind – Sylvia Tyson

I’ve also had requests for Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLaughlin, Sarah Harmer, Melissa Etheridge, Jewel, Lisa Loeb and Indigo Girls. Are there any specific songs people want to play?

If you want to get a head start on June’s circle, we’re dusting off the pianola rolls for music from the 1920s.
