Crabfest acoustic jam session?

CrabJam2013!
I'm compiling a songbook that I'll post hopefully 2nite with a few songs that I've been playing.
Keep in mind that I am (according to some ) in the old fogy age range so be prepared for some eclectic tunes from the 60's, 70's, 80's.
I welcome anyone else's songs though, just bring some charts or chords to share, I love to learn new stuff.

I'll jam anytime were not all fishing or crabbing, seems I was shore side during the day quite a bit as I waited(unsuccessfully) for crab to walk into my trap during the opener. So there will be good opportunities for impromptu uke-ing.

glen: put some beats on your ipod bro!

rey: yeah bring it!

tim: sweet tell her to bring it!

scott: that's fly, bring it!

joel: pink, it's the new pink!

cherie: by all means throw hubbie's uke in da car - with the drum. We'll work with the eastern sound, think - sitar

jerry: get your harp on at crabjam!

fishgr: i'm ready to throw down some hoedown!

victor: buy it!

if you are in doubt: BRING IT!

Sounds great! I will look for the play list!

OK, here's a few songs that we could do.
There's plenty of corny and cheesy soft rock here so be advised.
As I mentioned, feel free to post or bring other tunes.
I'm hoping Sat. night might be a good time for a group jam, providing it's not too cold!

Had to split the songs into 2 posts, due to file size.

Holy cow, Batman!  Less than 2 weeks to learn all those?!?   Ha!! 

Was, "Wasting away in Margaritaville"  in there?  I like Jimmy Buffet on the beach.  With a uke it ought to work....

And who's gonna be the singer. 

Thanks for the songs Tony! 

Rey

And who's gonna be the singer. 

Depending on how much I drink, it might be me.

And who's gonna be the singer. 

YOU Big Boy!!

Ha!

I do a good rendition of....

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh

And who's gonna be the singer.

Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh

Last time I heard that song being sung my cousin and I went to a bar near Lake Oroville and it turned out to be a gay bar and the guy was singing it to us.  I almost fell out of my chair laughing.  I kept wondering why all the pictures n the bar were of Marilyn Monroe.  Needless to say we finished our drink and bid them all a fond farewell.  A night I will never forget.  That's what happens when you go to a bar at night in an area you have never been.

My hubby and I were trying to practice on our Ukes tonight...OH MY GOSH some of these songs are tough!
I think we should also include some easy ones that only have 2 and three cords (Lion Sleeps Tonight and Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da). Was Margaritaville already in there?

Here's a file from the Sac Meetup Uke group that might help us all

Hey Crabfest Uke'rs,
I hoped that by including some easy and more complex tunes that folks could just play to there comfort level.

Please feel free to just sing along on the songs that are too hard to play.

Cherie, thx for the file, the Sac uke group was a great inspiration for me when I started playing last winter.
I didn't know just how popular the little instrument was, especially online.
I still haven't gone to a meetup but soon, maybe.

Scott, stay out of those bars bro 

found the beat box.... now, if only I can figure out how it works.... I don't have musical bone in my body.....

Glen I thought you and I were going to beat box.

Don't forget Led Zep the Rain Song....
