This time of the year we see a lot of red and green. For Thursday 23rd of December 2021, let’s wear these colors and share songs that have these colors or invoke that festive holiday feeling of ‘Tis the Season.

Thanksgiving on Thursday the 25th November 2021 is traditionally celebrated with food, but in-person family reunions usually require travel. Last year, we focussed on food. This year we give the option of songs about travel, too. Coincidentally a previous session on songs about travel was extremely popular. Plenty of ideas!

Join us on 18th November 2021 for songs that are one hit wonders. Too bad Pachelbel didn’t live long enough to see the reach of his canon and earn any royalties. You just need one hit!

To acknowledge Veterans Day (a.k.a. Armistice Day, Remembrance Day), performers will stand up and play songs in any theme or category or era on Thursday 11th November 2021.

Join us on Thursday 4th November 2021 for songs that are easy to play and sing but require many chords, a lot more than three chords. Join our Facebook public group to see the latest posts and interact with others. Bring a friend. See you in Zoom before 3 pm EST (7 pm GMT)! After the session ends and the recording stops, you’re welcome to hang out and choose a breakout room of your choice.

In anticipation of Halloween, please join us on Thursday 28th October 2021 for songs about different parts of the human body — different not many songs about the same part of the body!!

Join us on Thursday 21st October 2021 for songs that are not so easy to play or sing, despite having only 2 or 3 or 4 chords. The challenge could be any of the following:

1. difficult chords to finger
2. fast and frequent switching of chords
3. switching chords on the off beat
4. no apparent pattern to chords
5. awkward switching between the chords
6. tricky strum pattern (such as with syncopation)
7. famous signature riff that’s hard to play
8. difficult to sing and play at the same time
9. unusual meter (5/4, 5/8, 7/8 time) or changes in meter
10. fast tempo

Or is it “autumn leaves of red and gold” as Nat King Cole had sung it? Join us on Thursday 14th October 2021 for songs of this autumn season. Bring a friend. See the themes for upcoming song sessions. Join our Facebook public group to see the latest and interact with others. See you in Zoom before 3 pm EDT (8 pm BST)!

Wear autumn colors of orange and brown!
