  1. Played this #originalsong in a local cafe recently and some kind folks in the audience *insisted* that I must record and post it.

    Maybe my own little emotional crisis in a local grocery store will resonate–this is my original song about “Crying In the Kimberton Whole Foods."

    (KWF is a local, family-owned independent chain, and no relation to the Amazon-owned behemoth. Buy local, cry local!)

  2. A cover of Jefferson Airplane's Today, done on electric uke with chorus, U-bass, and a little asalato in the mix somewhere. One of my favorite songs to sing, and yet I haven't done it as a #sundaysong before!

  3. Haven't done a Sunday Song in a while, but here's one to close out the year: The Raconteurs' "You Don't Understand Me," rendered on #ElectricUke through an amp modeler pedal.

  4. Okay, it's no longer Sunday, but I forgot to post my #SundaySong, so here it is – a lowkey acoustic version of The Only Ones' "Another Girl, Another Planet." Have always loved this song but never thought it could work on a #uke until hearing an acoustic version in the movie "London Town" – which is also highly recommended.

  5. Can't believe I've never posted a version of Cracker's "Big Dipper" before. This was one I struggled with mightily when first learning to play and sing, but for whatever reason it enchants me and I come back to it again and again. Non-minimalist approach here, with some layering in #AbletonLive. Sorry, the reverb is dripping. Maybe it'll be dry by next week.

  6. This week's #SundaySong is Blondie's "Dreaming," which I've lately been trying a few different ways. This started with just me and my trusty U-Bass, and this morning I decided to add some electric uke. Some really electric uke.

    As someone who's only been playing for a few years, a real late bloomer, it's still incredible to me that I can just DO this.

  7. This week's #SundaySong was inspired by some first-time performers at #OpenMicNight who thought nothing of tackling a #MazzyStar song on their first outing – something that for some reason I thought daunting. But then I took up "Flowers in December" on the #ukulele, and whaddaya know? Not too bad, I think.

  8. Okay, I came up with a set list for today's performance during our town's street art festival. It's definitely too long but I'll just scratch any of the upbeat songs.

  9. This week's #SundaySong is Reina del Cid's "What I'm Losing," a song about life on the road and priorities. I usually do this on piano but have been quite taken with it on #ukulele lately. Added in some #KalaUBass because that's what I do.

  10. I have written a long form blog post on this unusual little Soviet era electric ukulele from Bulgaria. If you happen to know much about such things have a read and please let me know what you think, as it seems to be fairly unique.
