Corktown Ukulele Jam

Originally published on Los Thunderlads, 27 April 2009:

Here are some youtube videos from Toronto’s Corktown Ukulele Jam, held every Wednesday night at the Dominion on Queen.

An ad for the occasion; Rochelle Gagnon is the Oyster Queen; “A lot of people think this song is about sex, but it’s really about strawberries”; Eve Goldberg has found a “Cold Wind Blowing.” (The Gordon Lightfoot fans among you will be especially impressed); Collette Savard and John Zytaruk, “I see you.” Alexis Alchorn looks really young for her age- she remembers the “Dinosaurs.” It’s a great song and she has the perfect voice to sing it. As for her uke playing- well, she’s written a great song and she has the perfect voice to sing it.
