The Glendale Folk Festival did not turn out like I
had planned. I was sick on Saturday, and was not able to make it, then I
missed Sunday too. The Strummers did ok. At least the people watching
thought so. I had a few adverse comments form our members, but that is the
way things go sometimes. We have our next show on the 19th of April, which
will be original songs of mine, and maybe a solo from Susan.
Our only practice before then is this week, the
first Friday of the month, April 5th. Unfortunately, I will be out of town,
but it should be ok as the group will be backing me up, and the prime
playing and singing will be my own.
I have been giving some thoughts to the fact that I
have had a bad medical year, and missed a lot of meeting. I would like to
set up a more traditional group with a president, v-president , and maybe
even a secretary/treasurer. We will call them, Major, Minor and Seventh. How
bout a board, G, C, E and A. Sounds like it might be a song.
Seriously, I am going to appoint a Major, a Minor
and a Seventh for the year 1013, then in January of next year, we will elect
officers. I have decided I am going to appoint myself Major, and giving some
thought to who best could play (little pun) other roles.
I need to get a number of who will be at the
Extravaganza on the 23rd of April. Send me an email if you want to play. The
songs are going to be Five Foot Two, Ain’t She Sweet and I Love My Ukulele,
with an added first verse.
I intend to put both that song, and the rest of my songs on youtube
tomorrow. Well, maybe this weekend.

The Scottsdale Strummers meet on the odd numbered weeks of each month.
This of course applies only on weeks that the Senior Center is open. Granite
Reef Senior Center, 1700 N Granite Reef Scottsdale, AZ.
I am sorry I have missed so many meetings since October, and I am afraid
I will miss a few more. To be exact:
