The Strummerville Ukulele Club at the Brookline Village Library! Spooky Songs
Tue, Oct 13 · 6:30 PM EDT
Brookline Public Library, 361 Washington St, Brookline, MA, US
Good citizens of Strummerville, that's you!
Grab your uke and join us as we sing and strum the hits!
Come one, come all! All levels welcome!
Check us out at the library. (See what we did there?)

Strummerville is a ukulele group for everyone — beginners, seasoned strummers, and anyone in between. We play popular songs badly and sing loudly, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

**What's better than one Strummerville meeting a month? That's right, THREE Strummerville meetings a month! You can also join Strummerville every 1st Monday at Follow Your Art Community Studios in Melrose and 4th Wednesday at the Armory Cafe in Somerville! Same fun songs, same fun leaders**

What to expect on Tuesdays: Doors open at 6:00pm. Regular festivities start at 6:30pm. The first 45 minutes or so we'll play and sing songs from our well-loved songbooks. We then take a 15 minute break and back to it until 8:30pm.

Lyrics and chords will be projected on the BIG SCREEN, so just relax and strum! However here are links to our songbooks for your convenience.

And remember "What we're doing tonight has no value!”

Directions: The Brookline Village Library is located on Washington Street in Brookline Village near the intersection of Washington, School, and Cypress Streets. It is on a little hill next to the Town Hall, across the street from the Courthouse and Public Safety building (Police/Fire Headquarters).
From the West: Route 9 heading toward Boston. Turn left at Cypress St. At third traffic signal, turn right onto Washington Street. The Library is immediately on the left.
From the East (Boston): Take Huntington Avenue (Route 9) outbound to Washington Street. Turn right onto Washington Street and get into the left lane. At the fork where Harvard Street meets Washington Street, bear left to stay on Washington Street. The Library is almost two blocks farther on your right.
Parking: Metered parking is available along Washington Street and Cypress Street. A small underground parking garage is accessible from the driveway between the Library and Town Hall; bear left at the bottom of the driveway.
Accessible parking is available in the curved driveway in front of the Library. Note that there is no accessible entrance directly to the Library from within the parking garage.

Ukulele Online Show and Tell - Color

As usual, we'll have fun. Have a drink before or during. The first approximately ten people to volunteer to sing/play. We'll give first timers priority. We'll open things up around 6:45pm EST (or perhaps a little earlier) for jovial small and medium talk. We'll end about 8pm (same time zone, in case you're wondering).

NOTE FOR THIS WEEK'S SHOW!: For the following week, the 24th, bring an idea, a suggestion, for a song that we could all do on the 24th. Think of a song that most would know. It can be from any genre. And actually, one could turn a song from one genre into another. For example, one could do The Beatle's 'A Hard Day's Night', a rock and roll song, as some sort of uptempo jazz swing, or even as a ballad. Whatever.

We'll decide, perhaps through a poll (if I can figure out how to do that), on three songs from which to choose. You would then choose one of them to do on the 24th, in whatever way you might want. It doesn't have to be a replica of the style of the original. Put your own original stamp on it.

So again, think of one or more songs that could be thrown into the ring for us to choose from, and throw it/them in during next week's show, and then we'll figure out which ones to do.

Meanwhile, the them for NEXT week's show is COLOR. Clear as mud?

Reminder: If you wish to play this week, indicate you'd like to do so in the chat here, preferably by Thursday midnight.

See you Saturday.
