"Thank you, Brian, for playing so well"

23/5/2024

What a great morning we had at Community Singing on Thursday 23rd May. Brian chose to use our regular Song Book 1 for the first segment. Everyone joined in – Kieran as announcer of the songs. Ray told us about the latest scam with NBN that is happening.

Then we had some rounds which Carmyl did a fantastic job of organising. Carmyl has the ability to take roughly 16 people, divide us into 4 parts and produce a marvellous rendition of Within a Shady Thicket, then Frere Jacque, and then Kookaburra sits on an old gum tree.

After morning tea, we had Sammy’s Song Book 1 which included a group of Irish songs. Brian’s playing of Danny Boy was particularly good – quite a few people remarked on it. Someone else said that we sang Waltzing Matilda the best we have for quite a while.

Thank you, Brian for playing so well.

​As there are five Thursdays in May, we are looking forward to having Community Singing again next Thursday, 30th May at 10am at the Hub at Cooinda. All welcome.
