To celebrate the lunar new year, we will wear RED to welcome happiness, good luck and fortune, as well as share three chord songs about ox, oxen, cows, and other bovine creatures on Thursday February 18th, 2021.
We always start promptly at 3 pm with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual, and a line-up of 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 see the LIVE STREAM if you can’t make it into Zoom.
DON’T FORGET YOUR SUNGLASSES!

- Lion Sleeps Tonight in G – Liane (HI) [3]
- Ally, Ally Oxen Free in D – Rose Marie (KS) [4]

If we really can’t think of songs, does Year of the Cat count? There is no such thing as year of the cat. How about animals related to the cow? Or the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac cycle?
There are many idioms that include the cow in the Chinese language, such as playing music to the cow, blowing a cow, etc. How do animals sound in Chinese?
Three Chord Thursdays are free to join as participant and/or performer.
