3 Chord Thursday Thesaurus

It’s National Thesaurus Day on Thursday 18th January 2024! This is a special day for those who love WORDS. We celebrate the theme of THESAURUS in 3 Chord Thursday with a lot of imagination. Is Thesaurus the last dinosaur? Can you think of songs with BIG, BEAUTIFUL words? Songs that use synonyms? Or can you accompany the verses and refrains of a single song DIFFERENTLY? How about songs about words?

We invite you to JOIN us in-person in Boston, Massachusetts or in Zoom at 3 PM EST. If you’re in a learning mode, join us after this one-hour song session for the hybrid one-hour workshop on Auld Lang Syne at 4:30 PM EST (open to Fun with Uke Book owners & 3 Chord Thursday Annual Pass holders).

There are many three chord songs but 3 Chord Thursday is not limited to 3 chords!! We always start with a warm up at 3 pm EST followed by two poses for a group photo with our sunglasses and ukuleles. Then we announce our line-up. If there’s no request beforehand, we take impromptu requests and line them up. We aim to end an hour later at 4 pm EST.

Don’t forget your sunglasses!
