THE HAPPY WANDERERS at 501 Queen

DOUBLE CLICKING WILL ENLARGE PHOTOS

Thursday May 27 and SMUG once again played for a great crowd at 501 Queen Street in Charlottetown. We presented a new "SUMMER" program which was partly put together by our guest conductor for the evening, Hazel St.Amand. Hazel added her wonderful voice to the group as she led us through six selections she had taught us over the past month. This was added to by another "first" for SMUG; Bobby Acorn sang a solo verse in "Peggy Gordon" and Ray Fralick gave us a verse of "The Mermaid". Our thanks to Hazel for bringing a fresh new approach to our performing. Very generous remarks were heard from those in the audience, and Grace MacIntosh , who schedules the entertainment at 501, invited SMUG to return for a Christmas show once again.

At ANDREWS AGAIN WITH THE ANDREWS STRUMMERS

On Friday, SMUG joined forces with the ANDREWS STRUMMERS of Stratford and did an hour program where SMUG did a short program, followed by a great and uplifting set by ANDREWS STRUMMERS of STRATFORD. It was the second performance by the STRUMMERS when an apprearance by SMUG was made, only this time the Andrews group joined in with the SMUG songs and great participation during the whole show. Sharon took some wonderful photos as she always does, and it was great to have Ann Campbell as a part of the STRUMMERS. Ann is a volunteer at Andrews who plays the ukulele and everyone is so pleased to have her a big part of the STRUMMERS great effort.She joins Kendal Godkin, Dennis Wells and Darlene Acorn on Wednesday mornings as we all get together with the enthusiastic group from Andrews. Our hope that it will continue and that others might join this very illustrious and satisfied group of ukulele players. We were all so pleased to see and meet some of Joan Armstrong's family, who arrived on a flight to Charlottetown minutes before the performance began. We even had Joan's daughter join the group for several ukulele songs.What a thrill for Joan I'm sure.

Below are just some of the photos that Sharon was able to take on Friday, but because she was a part of the Andrews group, she was not able to make her usual panorama of those attending the performance, who as always, were so enthusiastic in their participation during the afternoon. The performance finished off with great tea and cookies as always, and supplied from the wonderful kitchen of Andrews.
