Summer is winding down, bringing all the signs of autumn. Kids are getting ready for school. Geese are heading south. Pumpkin spice is being added to everything. And we’re back at the shop.

A big thank you to Laura and Murray for hosting the August circle. It was lots of fun, as always.

There’s no theme this month. I’ve added a few favourites people suggested. I think it should be an eclectic night.

• Grandma’s Feather Bed, John Denver (1974) video (obligatory Muppet link)
• Dreaming, Blondie (1979) video
• Then He Kissed Me, The Crystals (1963) video
• The Unicorn, Shel Silverstein (1962), Irish Rovers (1968) video
• Lovers in a Dangerous Time, Bruce Cockburn (1984) video, Barenaked Ladies (1991) video

Next circle: Tuesday, July 3
7–9 PM
Malty National Brewing Co., 1130 15th Avenue, Regina, Sask.

Don’t forget, we’re not at the shop this time.  Let’s spend the evening in a brewery with a few drinking songs! Rolf suggested the theme and sent me a classic German drinking song:

• Trink, Trink, Brüderlein Trink, Wilhelm Lindemann (1927) video

Even if you can’t speak German, we can all sing along with the “Trink! Trink!” parts.

We also have a few others in our collection:

• Whiskey In The Jar, Irish traditional video
• Time to Switch to Whiskey, Corb Lund Band (2009) video

See you all at Malty National!

Singin’ in the Bathtub was the inspiration for the very first Looney Tunes cartoon, Sinkin’ in the Bathtub. Keep an ear out, as it features another song from this month’s list.

Looking ahead: For the circle on July 3, don’t forget – we’re taking a trip to the Malty National brewery! Between songs, brewery co-founder Adam will man the taps for anyone who would like a drink.
