Music for May: Female singer-songwriters

Next circle: Tuesday, May 1
7–9 PM
Sawchyn Guitars, 2132 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, Sask.

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.

• You’re So Vain, Carly Simon (1972) video 1, video 2
• River Road, Sylvia Tyson, Crystal Gayle (1977) video, bonus Muppet video
• My Church, Maren Morris (2016) video
• Closer to Fine, Indigo Girls (1989) video, video of this ukulele arrangement

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

• Jolene, Dolly Parton (1974) video
• Big Yellow Taxi, Joni Mitchell (1970) video
• Time After Time, Cyndi Lauper (1983) video

See you all next week!
