Xmas songsheet revisions

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:36:32 UT

Hi all

I've uploaded revised Xmas songsheets. The changes are minor so
probably no need to reprint...just note by hand. The changes are...

Jingle Bell Rock - last line of bridge, move G7 to beginning of line
over a rest. Lyrics begin after G7 is strummed.

Rockin' Round the Xmas Tree - the final line is half time (not double

Revised songsheet upload - Blue Moon

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 07:28:27 UT

Hello all

This songsheet has been revised due to a number of errors in v.2. It
is now v.3.

Cheers...Jennifer

Jingle Bell Rock songsheet

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 04:52:18 UT

Hi all

I've just noticed I left the Gm7 chord shape off this shongsheet. I've
uploaded a corrected version but if you've already printed and don't
want to waste paper it's just as easy to draw it on yourself. If
you're not sure of the shape just copy from Lambeth Walk.

Cheers...Jennifer

Revised songsheet upload - Ain't Misbehavin'

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 08:14:56 UT

Hi all

A revised songsheet, now v.4, has been uploaded. If you've already
printed v.3 you might like to pull up v.4 on your screen and note the
changes, which are...

Adim is actually Adim7
Second last line...Eb7 changed to Adim7-Dm7

Cheers...Jennifer

New link added the HUG's site

Hi all

Vanessa found this series of ukulele tutorials by Michael Lynch on
YouTube. There are literally 100's of tutorials by this guy which
range from the very basic to quite complex. I've linked to tutorial
his more interesting tutorials. To save you finding the link, here it
is [link]

CFF songbook upload

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:48:46 UT

Hello all

For those of you who couldn't attend last Monday I advised that the
cost of printing and binding the CFF songbook in colour is a
prohibitive $27.33 per copy (from Officeworks). $23.40 of this is for
colour printing alone. It was decided that I'd provide a cover/index
page and everyone can print their own songsheet pages and arrange

Last Xmas songsheet for Winter Wonderland

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:01:05 UT

Hi again

I've just uploaded Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Please note, Vanessa
will be uploading another version for use at the 50 & better concert.
This will have 'easy' in the title. (Yeah, Ness...just realised I
could add to the title!!!!)

If you're performing at both gigs, you'll need both songsheets.

Hi all

I've just uploaded a revised version of Hey Good Lookin' (now v.3)
with Gary's permission.

The changes are all additions - intro, incidental G7s, extra Cs and a
complete outro...all easily notated on your current version (doesn't
matter if you have the original or v.2 as they are both the same!!) if

Changes

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:23:55 UT

Hello all

I've made some changes regarding songsheets and files.

1. I've changed the filename from ss to zz of songsheets which to my
memory we haven't done during the last 2 years. Don't want to delete
entirely as they may make a comeback but while we're not doing them I
thought it best to categorise them out. Let me know if you think I've

Song sheets

mark...@netspace.net.au (marklov) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:14:26 UT

Hi all...when making song sheets, can you please ensure there's
sufficient border width e.g. > 10 mm on edges and > 15 mm on top and
bottom, so that lines don't get cut off...printers need to grip on the
paper and can't print in that peripheral area.

Mark

Ghost Riders

mark...@netspace.net.au (marklov) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:04:54 UT

Out of the mists...into the blue....comes..............v2!
OK, this took me quite some time to work out, due to the songs speed.
Each chord / is in about the right place over the words. The drawn out
words (e.g. at end of the lines) have about the right number of bars
to the drawn out length and a small pause after (for breath) before

Rudolph...

Xmas medley songsheet

gin...@nutthouse.com.au (jennifer) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:36:56 UT

Hi all

I've managed to squeeze all 3 Xmas medley songs on to one page. I've
had to leave off the chord jpegs and rearrange the way some lyrics are
presented. I've also removed some of the harder chords from Rudolph as
I know some people are phased by the harder chords and come to an
involuntary stop! If this isn't you, it's an easy task to write them

Xmas songsheets filename changes

gin...@nutthouse.com.au (jennifer) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:36:38 UT

Hi again

I've changed all the Xmas songsheets file names to xs (from ss). This
will keep them all together and easier to access methinks!

Cheers...Jennifer

Yet another Xmas songsheet!!!

Hi Everyone,

I've uploaded "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and an arrangement of
"Ukulele Lady" in C.

I should point out that I mean no disrespect to the person who
arranged our current version. I would just like to use the C version

Songs for CFF set

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:50:01 UT

Hi all

Suggestions are rolling in for the CFF set. There were no songsheets
on HUG's site for 2 of the suggestions...one is brand new and the
other I think a photocopy had been given out. Anyway, songsheets for
both songs are now on the files section. The songs are...

HUG-ins

hug...@gmail.com (HUG) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:19:59 UT

One more thing...

It seems we've settled into a routine of going around the table
choosing songs. It might be a good idea if we all come 'armed' with 4
or 5 choices on the night. (We seem to be getting 2 or 3 'goes', but I
suggest 4 or 5 in case others gazump you!). This should save a
considerable amount of time wasted while the person whose turn it is

Hello all

I've been going through the files section of HUG's site and have come
across a number of duplicated songsheets...up to 4 versions in some
cases! This can be extremely confusing, especially for new members. I
would appreciate some cooperation in keeping the site as clean and
easy to use as possible. So, in future, could the following procedures

Hi all, Sloop John B uploaded. Note: there are differences between
Van Diemans Land songbook and our Traditional version. I have put in

Hi Everyone,

I've Uploaded "Don't Worry, Be Happy." I've done a version in C (what
we
did tonight) and one in D. I thought it might be worth trying D as it
will
be a bit higher, and we might get a better sound singing wise.

I won't be there next week. Feel free to try them out. Any mistakes,
