Season 158 - We Three Kings

frisbee fred · Feb 22, 2015

Welcome to Season 158!

We Three Kings - B.B. King, Albert King and Freddie King. Great blues artists all.

At least two prizes will be given away. One will be for judged videos and one will be by random drawing. The prizes will be Vermont Maple Syrup. Might do something special for first-time posters.

Standard rules apply plus one. In order to be eligible for prizes you have to have watched and commented on all entries to this Season. It would be preferable if you could make the comments on each person's youtube page. As a result, I'm limiting this Season to two videos per person.

Multi-tracking, other instruments, collaborations, etc., are all ok. Just make sure that we can see you playing your ukulele. Videos must be new for this Season.

No bonus or old videos - send them over to the Island!

Here are links to songs of the Kings:

Clevah! Both the theme / name and the commenting on all videos rule. Very cool, Fred!

lelouden · Feb 22, 2015

Good idea! This will be a challenge for most. Happy strumming everyone

UkerDrew · Feb 22, 2015

King me baby! Oh wait, that's checkers...

Nice one Freddie boy!

A huge challenge for me, Señor Fred, but for you I'll try.
I like your extra request that we make time to comment on more videos by other Seasonistas.

The reign of the blues has begun. Love the commenting challenge---nothing like Vermont maple syrup to encourage listening and commenting on each other's videos.

Sweet! Love them Kings! I was lucky enough to catch BB King and John Lee Hooker on a double bill some time ago. Should be a fun week!

No Elvis? Just kidding lol!
Should be a fabulous blues week. I'll see if I can get an entry together but I won't be around much ( I fly to Chicago tomorrow morning and may be offline for some time). Have fun all!

ukuleledaddy - I bet that was a GREAT show!

Well I just saw that Freddie King has done a recording of Sweet Home Chicago. It would be fun to sing a version of this in my hometown. I'll do my best but it's a busy week ahead...

Happy to see a Blues theme. Chris is just learning some 12 bar blues and walk downs on the U bass. Should be fun. But do not put us in the running for the contest. Although we have visited Vermont and do love the maple syrup, we know we cannot fulfill the requirements to watch and comment on all the videos. I can comfortably watch and comment on about 5 videos a day. It has been creating some concern because I can not keep up and know I am missing some great music. I would love to be able to watch all the videos but do not have the time or the technical know how to make that happen. I hope we can record a song for this week and look forward to hearing alot of blues.

Just attempted to blues up Heartbreak Hotel over my first cuppa at 6am on a Sunday morning(wish I could lay in grrrrr and stop waking neighbours but the urge to pluck overides any rationality and consequence)

This is NOT AN ENTRY.......'Tis A Flubabout !!

SOTU 158 Three Kings

Hey .Fred. I like the rules you developed for Ukulele Undergrounds Seasons of the Ukulele week 158 "Three Kings" contest. Clever marketing to get new folks involved too. Maple syrup is my favorite Sweetner. Check the Albert King link please I think it is Flaky.

Yes very.

"Detective James Lee Wong (Boris Karloff) must find the "Eye of the Daughter of the Moon," a priceless but cursed sapphire stolen in China and smuggled to America. His search takes him into the heart of Chinatown and to the dreaded "House of Hate" to find the deadly gem before it can kill again. The popularity of Asian detectives such as Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto prompted Monogram Pictures to purchase the rights to Hugh Wiley's successful James Lee Wong character. Boris Karloff appeared in five Mr. Wong mysteries while on hiatus from horror films."

hehe

If you forget the words to the blues just whistle and it will give you time to recover.
Classic 8 bar blues with a couple of different turnarounds

Key to the highway ( Freddie King )
