SONGS for a SMALL UKE GATHERING

I have a new ukulele friend that lives just over the hills from me in San Ramon, CA. He is having a small gathering of ukesters over to his house today. He asked me to bring a couple of songs too. And, as always, I went a bit overboard and I am going to share the collection with you...

Several of the songs I chose were from
Moogly's Moo-kulele Songbook...

{I am seeing some overlap between Moogly's arrangements and the Taunton group, also saw a Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz song too. Anybody got some information on Miss Moogly Moo?}

p.14 - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (the Beatles)
p.28 - The Long & Winding Road (the Beatles)
p.29 - Killing Me Softly (Roberta Flack)
p.31 - How Deep is Your Love (Bee Gees)
p.32 - I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor)
