Hello all you Plucking Strummers. Once again we are fortunate to have the many talented Cali Rose as our song leader for the December 14th meeting. Cali is a singer, keyboard and ukulele player, songwriter, recording artist and a teacher. In her own words, “I’m thrilled to be a professional musician and entertainer. It’s a wacky world and we need all the music we can get!” So true.
Cali does all her own arrangements and will provide us with a full set of PDFs for the meeting.
Here are the songs and a few YouTube video’s…
1. GRAB A LITTLE SUNSHINE
3. LET IT BE (BILL WITHER’S VERSION)
5. A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS
7. ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Our schedule has changed a bit as we prepare for the new format beginning in January:
9 AM to 9:15 AM – For this meeting I am setting aside this time to discuss the forming of ensembles for next year.
9:15 AM to 11:00 – This is the time when we will strum and sing our hearts out to a list of songs chosen by this meeting’s song leader Cali. There will be one 10-to-15-minute break somewhere during that time.
11:15 to 11:45 – Individual performance time! I really hope we can get many people to sign up. I would love to see some our new Strummers stretch their wings. Then we need to pack up and exit the building before noon.
