RETURN TO ANDREWS OF STRATFORD

 


SMUG returned to Andrews of Stratford today after a three year layoff, mostly 

due to COVID. Director Kelly Galloway put together a collection of new and 

old songs which were all enjoyed by the many residents who turned out to enjoy

the music. They all showed appreciation  for the fine performance by both new                                         and old members  of SMUG, many who have been performing at Andrews  

since 2009.   SMUG is now in its fifteenth year as pointed out by Sharon,Woods-

Bryenton the wonderful Activity Director at Andrews of Stratford.

                                               




Heartz  Godkin was present at the performance. He is a well known Island Bass Player who
has been playing with Island groups for over 50 years and now a resident at Andrews.
Heartz plays with The Andrews Strummers every Wednesday morning.

NEW UKULELE FRIENDS FROM DOWN UNDER

 This morning at SMUG we were privileged to have new ukulele friends from New Zealand who are here in Canada for an extended stay as they tour the maritimes, visit a son in Alberta and carry on to Vancouver. Jan sent us a note a week ago asking if they could come to our weekly gathering and join in ........it was just great to meet them. Jim and Jan Gillanders live in Nelson, New Zealand and are members of Nelson's Plinkers Ukulele Group. As we rehearsed for our presentation at Hillsborough Hospital next Monday JAN AND JIM joined us for the morning. We would love  to have them with us for that presentation but unfortunately they are off to Nova Scotia right away. Just great to meet these two and hope they one day might return, but in the meantime we wish them safe travels and Happy Ukuleleing!

Thanks for dropping by.....HAPPY CANADA DAY!
