Get ready for Burns Night by learning Auld Lang Syne.
We explore different ways to play this song on the ukulele.
After the one-hour workshop, we will walk to one of the local restaurants for dinner (pay for your own).
You are welcome to join our song session at 3 pm in person.
There's another session on Thursday 11th January 2024 at NOON EST that's in Zoom only.
About the founder and host
Anne Ku considers the ukulele to give the easiest and fastest means to engage in music and connect with others. She founded "3 Chord Thursday' as a virtual stage to share the love of music and encourages all her music students to participate. She is an active member of the Ukulele Union of Boston (UUoB) whose club events are listed on Meetup.
About the location
The Walter Baker Lofts, a.k.a. Walter Baker Building is the only building with a big sign on top. “WALTER BAKER” is a unique monument to the community in Historic Lower Mills which is a part of Boston that borders Milton, Mattapan, and Quincy.
This section of Dorchester is famous for the birthplace of the oldest successful chocolate factory in the country. The red brick buildings have been converted to apartments and condominiums, amid small businesses and restaurants and the famous Neponset River Trail within walking distance.
There are two ways to enter this building: the double-door front entrance with steps and the side door with a ramp and step-free access. There is a public restroom in the main hall, on the same ground floor as the Common Room which has high ceilings, like the rest of the building, and big windows. It’s possible to get high speed wifi access with a password.
How to get there
- Public transport - Milton T station is within sight and walking distance. Take the yellow trolley from Ashmont T-station (which is the last of the Red Line).
- UBER or CAR - free street parking.
