Now I see the difference!
The Joe Brown song would be a nice one for the care home Christmas party, Scarlett?
Great to see those youngsters playing music together Lady A.
The ukulele is very popular nowadays. I know some schools get everyone playing them as they're relatively cheap and also easier to play than many instruments. A niece and her OH have two kids, probably about 12 and 6. They are a very musical family and they all have ukes and all play together.
I've never tried one but one of my retirement projects was to learn tenor guitar. It only has 4 strings so a bit similar in terms of difficulty to the uke. For a while I would get Sue singing along whilst I played the chords (well, most of them). Then we started to find the singing groups and at the same time, I had arthritis in the wrists. Have played a bit recently as the arthritis has eased off but I've forgotten a lot of the fingerings.

Well done,Scarlett. Pity I won't be around to hear you
No doubt when we meet Up There, I'll sounds marvellous.
To be honest Stanley, I wasn't expecting to be at Joe Brown's standard after one lesson, but I find it incredibly difficult with arthritis. I persevered tonight, and can almost manage G7, without a 10 minute pause before my fingers are in the right place! C major's fine. Blimey, at this rate, I might be able to give Bryan May a run for his money, by the time I'm 156!!!!
Glad life is positive for the moment. How interesting to trace someone's genealogy.
Gosh, Scarlett. How interesting. Have always regretted not finding out more about my parents' backgrounds when they were alive and then it's too late....... my children might have the same thoughts sometime in the future so project will be to label old photos as far as I can remember so that they have clues to follow. Thanks.
