3 Chord Thurs: On the water

On Thursday 15th July 2021, we have the theme of “on the water” for 3 Chord Thursday thematic song session, free for anyone anywhere in the world to join as participant, performer, or observer muted with webcam on or off. We aim to start promptly at 3 and end by 4 pm EDT, but usually we run overtime, especially if all 10 song spots get filled. Next Thursday 7/22 is travel.

*The song sheet that will be shared on screen and scrolled is what’s hyperlinked from the parenthesized PDF furthest to the right of the song entry. Absent of that, it’s linked from the hyperlinked song title. A bolded song title means the hyperlinked song sheet can be easily transposed.

**Performer’s debut and premiere in 3 Chord Thursday.
