  1. 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!

  2. My #SundaySong is going up on Saturday this week for reasons. This is a stripped down version of a Kurt Weill/Ogden Nash song told from the point of view of a statue of Venus that has come to life in the modern era. From the #musical "One Touch of Venus," this is "I'm A Stranger Here Myself."

  3. New #uke, who dis? Plays and sounds very different from my others, and I am not yet used to it, but I had a new way of doing Michael Nesmith's "Nine Times Blue" that I was determined to squeak out on this beautiful archtop, so here it is, warts and all. Also laid in some #kalaubass if you listen closely enough.

  4. When I performed #Cracker's "Been Around The World" at #openmic this week I started it in a voice and tempo I'd never even thought of before, and found myself locked in and liking it. I can't quite capture the energy I felt with that sound booming out into the room, but this isn't a bad approximation either. Added some #KalaUBass and guess what? One take on that. Having a good week with this song!

  5. This was NOT the song I set out to complete this morning – in fact, I had a much more elaborate project going on around this one. And then my brain said, "Yeah, but what if...." So here's a recently rediscovered Amanda Palmer song that suddenly captivated me. This is "In My Mind."

    Make some art today!

  6. Most weeks I post a quick little #SundaySong to my Instagram and FB accounts, and sometimes I remember to share them here as well. The point is to put it out there, whether it's "good," finished or not. This didn't end up quite as I wanted it to, and it's a bit slower than I wanted, but it's a cover of Country Joe & The Fish's "Flying High."

  7. The holiday season can be especially rough for those in recovery or trying to be. I'm not sure how my singing Aimee Mann's "I Was Thinking I Could Clean Up For Christmas" could possibly help, but that's what I've done.

    I had fun banging the strings on my #KalaUBass for a bass effect most people will never hear.

  8. My #SundaySong this week is a low-effort cover of The #Weakerthans' "Plea From A Cat Named Virtute." So sad but uplifting at the end, I promise!

    Vocals and keys live as shown, my trusty #KalaUBass layered in with #AbletonLive .

  9. Every week I record and post a #SundaySong – as a super late blooming performer, just putting myself out there is as big a challenge as anything. This is my cover of #Hooverphonic's "Mad About You."

    Keys and vocals recorded live; bass and bass effects added in #AbletonLive

  10. 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.

  11. This week's #SundaySong is a spooky little piece by Cracker, "Dr. Bernice." I don't know why, I just love singing this one.

    I recorded the vocals and #uke live, then added #KalaUBass and a little synthesizer B3 in #AbletonLive.

  12. 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.

  13. Joining this instance to share and find other #musicians. I'm a beginner, and post songs most Sundays.

    This week's #SundaySong is one I've tried to do since I started singing and playing four years ago. Turns out what I needed to make it work was this year's Christmas present to myself, a beautiful #Kala #ElectricUkulele. There's some #KalaUBass layered underneath this as well.

    This is Cracker's "Big Dipper."

  14. Reposting this #SundaySong I did around Thanksgiving – a cover of Dar Williams' "End of the Summer," shot with live vocals and keys, and a little bit of #KalaUBass added after the fact.

    This is one of those #songs that just hits me somehow, and when I first started singing it, I had a hard time getting through it. This may be the best my vocals have ever been on this one.
