Hi DUGs,
Halloween is (nearly) here and we have a suitably Ukuscary playlist! 🎃💀👻😈🧛♀️🦇
Mind you, for some of us, it may not be any scarier than last week's workshop with Sarah, but more of that later.
'Guising' is purely optional, but it would be nice if a few of us joined in... don't leave me looking like a clown!
Playlist
As well as digging out a few of the songs from our Halloween song list, we have some new ones. We have already tried out a couple of them, so we should be able to play most of them through without too much ghastliness.
The Addams Family
Scooby Doo
The Monster Mash
Devil in Disguise
If You Could Read My Mind
Bad Moon Rising
Ghost Riders in the Sky
Abracadabra
*How Come
**Black Magic Woman
Paint it Black
Psycho Killer
Bad Romance
Harvest Moon
*We did How Come, by Ronnie Lane Last year, but if you're not familiar with it, give it a listen:
**Black Magic Woman may not be too familiar either. Listen to the original Fleetwood Mac/Peter Green version, rather than Santana:
Dunblane Dementia
Eight of us turned up for the Dementia Group gig, and were rewarded with sandwiches and cakes! 🍰🥪☕
We were a bit shaky at the start of one or two songs, but it was all well received.
I did manage to get video of some of our performance. I'll share it when I've had time to edit out all the dodgy parts!
A big thanks to all those who participated.
Workshop
Last week's workshop with Sarah was a great success. It certainly had its challenges, but I'm sure we will all get there, with practice.
Sarah has sent me some notes on how we should proceed, we'll start looking at them next week.
The good news is, Sarah will be back with us on Wednesday, 3rd December. We haven't set a topic for the workshop yet. I am open to suggestions.
See you all on Wednesday!
DUG Song Sheets
Now that we are no longer using printed song sheets at our meetings, all new songs will be put on the website, rather than attached to these emails. If you want to practice any of our songs, you can view/download all our songs here: Our Songs
