BUG Christmas Ho-Ho-Holiday Songbook V.2
These videos are our first time through on these songs - we don't workshop or rehearse them ahead of time - some might say that there are a couple of train wrecks, like when I couldn't hear my starting note for Rudolph (d'oh!!) or when the glockenspiel just isn't co-operating on Snoopy or All I Want For Christmas, but boy do we have messy fun! And isn't that what jamming is all about?!
We play group songs from 7 until 8:30, take a 10 minute break, and then play more group songs and do a few open mic presentations ending at 10:00. Different folks volunteer to lead songs and we're very thankful to all of them! Often many folks leave after an hour and a half of playing to get home to bed but this time round we went from a hanging off the rafters first half to just a capacity 2nd half! Could it have been the awesome door prizes!
And for all you folks around the world who might not live near a jam or would like some extra jamming, I've provided the BUG PDF Songbook we used for this jam, so you can play along with the us in all our messy madness wherever you are! You can click on the song title in the SONGLIST at the beginning of the PDF and it will take you directly to the songsheet. At the end of the song, you click on the "BACK TO SONGLIST" link, and it takes you back to the table of contents!
If you're new to ukulele, and want to slow the videos down, just click on the little settings "wheel" in the bottom right-hand corner of the video screen and you can slow the recording down!
