December GROUP meeting
The December GROUP meeting was - not surprisingly – small, as in, Karol, Suzy and me. I got five return emails expressing regrets at not being able to attend. We played through the collection of Christmas songs and had a great time. With the smaller assemblage we not only played the tunes, but we had the opportunity to work on new chords and fingerings.
The good news is if you missed the regular December meeting, you have a SECOND chance. As we were leaving the Fleetwood Diner the manager asked if our GROUP could play another night this month for the diner’s customers –UP IN FRONT. We chose Thursday night, December 20. He is going to promote the event for his customers. All we have to do is show up and play and sing. The Christmas song book of course is still appropriate. He intends to have some children there also, so suggestions for those types of songs are sought. While this has a bit of the air of a performance, it is a real no pressure situation. He asked to start it around 6:00 PM, but anytime that you want to show up and any amount of time you want to stay is ok. Once again, Santa Claus stocking caps are appropriate.
If you have never participated in a musical performance before this is a good low profile way to break in. Please give me some responses if you can or cannot participate. If you are on this list but haven’t been able to come to the meetings because of the night of the week, here is your chance.
