Our session on Saturday will feature a mix of familiar songs along with some we haven’t played for a while, and our own Hank A will introduce a new song to the group: Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head! “…But there’s one thing I know, the blues they send to meet me won’t defeat me, it won’t be long til happiness steps up to greet me!” This fun and uplifting song was written by Burt Baccarat and Hal David for the 1969 film “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” In the film the song starts out with one instrument—the ukulele—while Paul Newman is riding a bicycle with Katherine Ross sitting on the handlebars. The song won an Oscar for Best Original Score and the single reached #1 on the Billboard charts. Although simple and catchy lyrics, this is a challenging song with fairly rapid chord changes, some truly beautiful chord progressions and a total of ten chords (only one new chord) in the song. But no worries. As we always do, we will go over the song, review the chords, and play it through a couple of times. Learning a challenging song is a good thing.
Other songs on the playlist for this session include:
Warm up: City of New Orleans
Keep on the Sunny Side
Introduce New Song: Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head
Dead Skunk
Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Wayfaring Stranger
Fly Me to the Moon

This is going to be a great session! Our sessions are always free, and beginners and newcomers of all ages are welcomed to attend and loaner ukuleles are available. So plan to join us and bring a friend!
