We had a nice meeting last night with Mary, Helen, Cindo, Rex and his son. We had a new player join us -- so welcome Barb Nole. She has a baritone and a very nice Pono tenor that she brought with her.
We did go over some of the songs we are considering for a new group of core songs as well as look at some others. As usual, we hope that anyone proposing a new number take ownership of it, that is select the key, set the tempo, bring song sheets to share and be the song leader.
It was mentioned that some of the songs suggested are not in our book and that not everyone has downloaded copies that may have come out via email. To correct this, I will gather a set of song sheets, zip them into a file and send them out. If you already have them, great, but if not, print out your personal copy.
I have been thinking that our mix of players will not ever do some of the songs that make up the DUH song book selections. Ones like "The Buckin Song", If My Nose Was Running Money" and "Do Your Ears Hang Low" just do not seem to be the kind of songs that this group is interested in singing. These are just examples, and if you think that we might want to thin out our ring binders, give me a call and we can get together and do some thinning of the collection.
Our next meeting is in two weeks, on the 22nd. See you there.
Ralph
