They met in the home of Paul Mademann on Friday mornings and usually had from four to eight members present. They continued meeting this way moving to the home of Rich D'Angelo but still holding at five to eight members. The eight original members were Bob Roush, Paul Mademann, Sue Weiner, Susan Phelps, Sue Staton, Carl McClure, Rich D'Angelo and Jerry White. Things changed dramatically in the Fall of 2016 when the decision was made to play for the newly formed Pinckney Perk, Irish Coffee Night on the second Tuesday of November 2016. So many people came forward to ask about joining the group that we quickly outgrew the home of Rich and moved to Riverbend, meeting every Friday from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Beginner lessons from 1:00 to 2:00 and a regular jam session from 2:00 to 4:00. The current membership count stays between 35 and 45 with an email list of over 50. There are also 10 or so members who have relocated outside of Sun City but who still participate in our meetings using ZOOM. The group functioned as a part of the Sun City Strummers until 2022 when they became a stand-a-lone MIG with the Sun City Music Guild. The group still plays for various Sun City clubs and groups plus entertaining at various Assisted Living and Senior facilities in the area.
