In 2014, a few strangers brought their ukuleles to Sawchyn Guitars for our first circle. Three years later, the group has grown and friendships have been built.
Like our other anniversary circles, I’m turning the floor over to you. Anyone who wants to is invited to play a solo or lead the group in a song. I’ll have a sign up sheet at the counter; just add your name if you want to take the stage.
After the performances, we’ll have a few snacks and drinks and then play through our favourites from the catalogue.
I’ll also collect dues for 2017. It’s only $10 for the year, which gets you a nifty name card and the happiness that comes with helping to keep the circle going 🙂  Also, Sawchyn occasionally offers deals for card holders, so there’s something in it for you, too.
Most importantly: NOTE THE DATE! I’m going to be out of town so we’ve had to move April’s circle to the second Tuesday.
Happy anniversary to everyone! I’ll see you on April 11.

This month’s song selections should help us throw a pretty good ceilidh!
There are many version of Red is the Rose on YouTube. While most are in D, I like the one above because it’s in C, which is a bit better suited to the ukulele.
There are also many different lyrics for Whiskey in the Jar. The one on here match the version by The Irish Rovers.
Don’t forget! Next month we have to move back a week to April 11. It’s also our third anniversary and your chance to perform for the rest of the group!
Next circle: March 7, 2017 (oops, not 2013 like the email said)

We’re edging ever closer to spring! I even saw a bit of green (ish) grass! That must mean that St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner so let’s celebrate with a couple of themes: Fifty Shades of Green and drinking songs!
Two songs have been suggested so far—Green, Green Grass of Home and Time to Switch to Whiskey—but more suggestions are welcome! Get them in before the end of February and I’ll add them to the list.
See you in March!

This is as close as we’ll get to Valentine’s Day, so let’s celebrate love.
(I’ve got a couple of tweaks to make on Rhythm of Love. The chords are there, but I’m trying to make the timing a bit easier.)
Thank you to everyone who suggested love (or anti-love) songs. I’ve got a few more stashed away for later circles.
Happy New Year, everyone!
I’m sorry this email is about as late as it could possibly be. December, as I’m sure you can imagine, has been rather hectic.

Though the weather outside has actually been pretty nice, Christmas is just around the corner. We’ve got a few new holiday tunes lined up to add to our existing song book.
OK, Spirits isn’t exactly a holiday song, but it was suggested before our ’60s night and we can pretend it’s about the Christmas spirit.
Hope to see you all there!

The news has been filled with anger and division so let’s remedy that with a night of peace and love. I’ve pulled together a few favourites from the ’60s, as suggested by our members.
OK, Bobby McFerrin isn’t from the ’60s, but it’s a good one for the repertoire.
The next circle is the day after Halloween, so feel free to dress up!

I’ve got three new songs for October:
I was asked for some Tragically Hip and Wheat Kings is one of their best. It also tells a story well known to Saskatchewanians.
How have we not done The Gambler yet?! Note that the original has a key change at the fourth verse, but we’ll take the easy way out and skip that for now. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to put it back in, take it up two half steps to E, A, B7 and B.
Jackson is best known as a duet by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. I’ve marked it where it switches from one to the other.
Printable versions coming soon.
