3 Chord Thurs: FRIENDS

Join us on Thursday 26th August 2021 for a 3 Chord Thursday thematic song session of songs about friends and friendship. This will be the last scheduled song session before the September break. However, you are welcome to convene using the Zoom link at your own risk and pleasure after the this last song session.

Have you heard about the twice-weekly physical workout sessions given by a ukulele player FOR ukulele players? Each Tuesday and Thursday at 9 am EDT, Jen Bross, the certified personal trainer and ukulele enthusiast leads a 45-minute session in Zoom. The first session is free, thereafter just $5. E-mail Jen to get and sign the waiver; and get the Zoom link. It’s great fun! Sometimes she chooses songs to align with our 3 Chord Thursday theme.

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.
