Meetup – February 8, 2025
Join us for our first meetup of the month. Take a look at the changes for 2025 here. Gene will be our strum leader today.
Novelty songs date back to the late 1800s but achieved real popularity during the 1920s and 1930s. They had a resurgence of interest in the 50s and 60s but have tapered off noticeably in recent decades. Maybe with all the craziness in the world today it will do us all a bit of good to shake off the drama and be silly for an hour or so.
All the songs are in PDF form so there is no need to bring either the blue or yellow books. The PDF is be posted here and at the top of our FB page, or you can email me, Gene, for a copy at [genemazzanti] [@] [gmail.com.]
