A quick public service announcement. With the cold, cold air that’s been hanging over the province, don’t forget to protect your ukuleles! All ukuleles can dry out and crack, but those with solid tops are especially vulnerable. An instrument humidifier is a worthwhile investment to keep your uke happy for years to come.

We’re a week away from the first ukulele circle of 2019. We’re at Malty National Brewing Corp this month. Beer will be served, but all ages are welcome. We’ll be back home at Sawchyn Guitars in February.

Thanks for all your song suggestions. I’ve lined up five new songs to add to our repertoire.

• Riptide — Vance Joy (2013)
• Don’t Stop Believin’ — Journey (1981)
• Come a Little Bit Closer — Jay and the Americans (1964)
• Ooh La La — The Faces (1973), Rod Stewart (1998)
• Freeze-Frame — J. Geils Band (1983)

I’ll see you all on Tuesday!
