- Songs from the Loring Park, Rustic Road, Masonic, Combined, and Holiday song lists - We will play songs on these lists only at the UkeAmericana jams and then, only if the majority of those at the jam have a copy with them.
- Special Events - If we have a special event coming up, we may practice songs from the event song list for that event.
Never played a uke and want to get a head start - before the jam? Two great resources!

Basic "how to" instructions at the beginning. Paperback versions at Cadenza Music and Groth Music. THE BEST songbook for ukulele songs!
- The Complete What Ukulele Players Really Want To Know, available at Amazon. This is NOT a how to play or a song book, but has been called an 'owners manual for new players' - an answer to all those niggling questions that will hit you when you first start playing.
