Three Chord Thursday 1920’s

A hundred years ago, the roaring twenties witnessed the birth of the Charleston and the Lindy Hop (which became the Jitterbug in the fifties). It was a time of economic boom, accompanied by the exciting music of jazz, blues, swing, dance band, and ragtime. We are pleased to have Chuck Goldstone, a specialist in the music of 1920’s on the ukulele, join our Three Chord Thursday session on January 21st, 2021 at 3 pm ET.

We always start promptly at 3 pm with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual, line-up, and up to ten songs performed by volunteers who request to perform beforehand. We record and edit our song sessions to review, learn, remember, and share with the community. Join our new public Facebook Group to get the latest and greatest.

DON’T FORGET YOUR SUNGLASSES!
