Great Freedom Train rehearsal last night - lots of soul and plenty of freedom as we improvised our way through Swing Low, Oh When the Saints, & This Train is Bound for Glory, then later Frere Jacques in a minor key. Mmmmmm soi noice.
We are learning a song made famous by The Seekers - Morningtown Ride - for a special performance in April. Mary's 80th birthday party surprise bash! MR is such a lovely little lullaby/folk song by Malvina Reynolds - although seems very simple, it displays songwriting at the height of its craft in ways that I'm only just beginning to appreciate.
THE UKELELE CHOIR
We may be the first choir to ever attempt also becoming a ukelele AND singing ensemble. Singing & Ukeing was lots of fun for Morningtown Ride- thanks to those who brought their ukes along.
Everyone else - go out and beg, borrow, buy your uke this week!!!! And practise your G to C chord transitions whenever you can - while watching TV, washing your hair, etc...
