  1. Another cover almost no one will know but that has stuck with me for decades—Jane Wiedlin’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” Still learning how to sing this one but liked this enough to share it anyway.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. This is "A New Name for Everything," by The Weakerthans.

    Given how often I perform this song, I can't believe I've never posted it as a Sunday Song before. Maybe it's because I keep changing how I do it (and which instruments I use). This week it's a choppy uke (with a little #uke drone added in #abletonlive).

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Trying to work after a few days of vacation, but this little beauty keeps whispering to me.

  8. This week's #SundaySong is the result of a week in COVID quarantine and a general predisposition against cheery #HolidayMusic anyway. I get genuinely choked up at the end – songs about #addiction can do that to me sometimes. This is a compact gem of a song by St. Vincent, "Happy Birthday, Johnny."
