So Now What?

Okay guys, what do we want to learn next?  Laura wants to do "A Few Old Memories"

Just a few old memories 
C
Slipped in through my door 
G
Though I thought I had closed it 
D
So tightly before 
G
I can't understand it 
C
Why it should bother my mind 
G D G
For it all belongs to another place and time 

G C
Just a few old keep-sakes 
G
Way back on the shelf 
C
No, they don't mean nothin' 
D
Well I'm surprised they're still left 
G
Just a few old love letters 
C
With the edges all brown 
G
And an old faded picture 
D G
I keep turned upside-down 

G C G D G

G 
Just a few old memories

Going way back in time

Well I can hardly remember

I don't know why I'm cryin'

I can't understand it

Well I'm surprised myself 
G
First thing tomorrow morning 
D G
I'll clean off that shelf

Julie gave me a link to NPR's 100 Most Essential Folk Songs, and I recognize several of them (we've even tried a few) and would love to learn several more.

Nathan and Julie both have expressed interest in learning traditional "old timey" dance/fiddle tunes, which sounds great.  We'll talk tomorrow!

We Did It!

Julie, Laura, Howard, Nathan, and Ashley performed on a stage.  Nobody threw rotten produce.  It was awesome!

Here's Turn, Turn, Turn

My Rainbow Race

and Shine.

In the Merry Month of May, the 5 of us worked with diligence and focus to this end.  I want to assure anyone who is interested in Ordinary Folk that our group is open to ALL levels of skill, from the seasoned performer to the newest musician who has never picked up an instrument.  All you need is the desire to play and the patience to try.  Come as you are, whenever you can.  Our next meeting is Sunday, June 14th.
