| Barry welcoming our new friends, Bob and Joan |
This morning we were privileged to have Bob and Joan Barrett join our rehearsal. They come from Montpelier, Vermont, where they are members of the Montpelier Ukulele Players, and Bob is the director and founder of the group. Coming together in 2010 after Bob and Joan had seen the film, "The Mighty Uke", Bob felt it was time to bring a group together in Montpelier to play on a regular basis. They have performed in all sorts of venues in the area and this summer took a group of 19 to Nashua NH for the first Ukulele Picnic on August 27th. They estimated 300 to 400 turned out to enjoy the program which ended up with maybe 100 ukulele players on the stage playing "This Land IS Your Land" Bob and Joan have been vacationing here in a cottage close to Souris for the past week and enjoying our good weather. Joan said it was a little cool in the mornings, but great fun for all. We sincerely hope Bob and Joan might return at some time in the future, or some of us may well venture in their direction. We were badly down in numbers this morning which found us a bit rusty, but we all had fun singing, playing and meeting our new-found friends.
