Because of a generous gift in memory of our friend ukulele player Don Venne, we have a great projector and screen. As a result, we will show the lyrics and chords for songs played at most Twin Cities Ukulele Club jams, as well as other club events. Thanks Mary Rose!

Highly Recommended Resources for BUG and UkeAmericana Jams - We routinely use songs and tunes from our BUG Song and Tune List and Favorite Old-Time American Songs for Ukulele, which is available at a number of places locally and online. All songs and tunes on the BUG List are available for free download to those who attend Twin Cities Ukulele Club jams and join the club email Automatic Notification of Events. Most jammers print out these songs and put them in a BUG 3-ring binder for use at jams. For the UkeAmericana Song List, click here. We do not use the Daily Ukulele: 365 Songs For Better Living Yellow Book at the BUG jams.
