On 1st July 2021 we will share songs about summer time at Three Chord Thursday at 3 pm EDT. It’s also CANADA DAY so we will begin with a song to acknowledge it.
Please dress in bright summery colors so it’s obvious you are wearing something cool for the hot summer. If you have a summer dress with spaghetti straps, even better!
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. If you don’t have the Zoom info, be sure to register in advance and to get on the mailing list. Join our new public Facebook Group to get the latest and greatest.
