From Jennifer:

Hey Ukesters, we did it! Three performances in February….all in one week! Whew! Thanks to all who participated. 

The next two weeks we’re going to take it slow and revisit some more of our old stuff and try a new song or two. We’ll also be preparing for our March 27 Nashville Taproom performance, so some regular rehearsals in March may be shortened to 1-2:15 so that the Taproom participants will have some rehearsal time 2:15-3-15 on just the songs for that event. We’ll take it week by week to decide.
SAVE THE DATE:

Friday, March 27, 6-9 pm – Nashville Taproom with the Webb-Tigert Duo Please let me know if your plans have changed so that alternates can be notified. Also, if you aren’t on the list but would like to be on the alternate list, please let me know that too.

Taproom participants:
