Guitars are great, but …
Ukuleles rock!
I started playing Ukulele a few years ago and, to my great surprise, really liked it … as much as Guitar to be honest. Ukes have a different voice, a nice mellow sound, and they fit in your lap when you are in your recliner watching the tube.
The Siren’s Song
Beware, or you too may be lured by the jaunty-yet-dulcet tones of the mighty Uke! Here is a sampling from my Ukulele compositions:
- Love May Not Come Easy
- Dog Gone Down
- this song helped me get selected as one of the 10 Regional Songwriters at the 2017 Kerrville Folk Festival
- Kiss the River
- Skip Lively
The Day the Music Died
Tiny Tim virtually destroyed Ukulele for a generation with Tiptoe Through the Tulips, but Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole (IZ) brought it back to life with his Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Thank you IZ for not letting Tim have the last word!
