Three Chord Thursday: Female Composers

On the 125th anniversary of Clara Schumann’s death, we dedicate Thursday 20th May 2021 to songs of female composers. Join us for this Three Chord Thursday at 3 pm EDT. We have a special guest, a female composer based in Massachusetts who has just released her first solo album. Erin Ash Sullivan will join us in our Zoom song session after 4 pm EDT. Please stick around to meet her and hear a song she will perform from her new album — as well as get your CD “signed”!

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.

The Line-Up @ 5/20/2021

Bolded song titles are linked to song sheets that can be transposed easily. We do this so you can refer to this web page in the future and transpose it into the key you like. If there is another linked song sheet shown for the song, we will use the one next to the number of chords (in brackets). In other words, the song sheet that is shared on the screen and scrolled will be the one next to the bracketed number of chords. If that is not shown, then it will be the linked song sheet from the title.
