Join us on Thursday 5th August 2021 for a 3 Chord Thursday thematic song session of songs that don’t require song sheets because we can easily play them from memory or by heart. These can be children’s songs, happy birthday, two or three chord songs — but not Christmas or traditional holiday songs that we don’t sing at this time of the year. Not to be presumptuous, performers who volunteer (sign up) may want to show everyone the chords and ways to memorize the lyrics of the song BEFORE you start playing so everyone can follow you without the song sheet. The theme of next Thursday 12th August is TO THE BEACH.
Today we give our beloved volunteer scrollers a break. No song sheet will be shared on the screen though they will be linked from this page in advance.
Welcome wherever you are! This one-hour song session in Zoom, online but interactive, is 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, but usually we run overtime, especially if all 10 song spots get filled.
