Here's the last batch of comments. I'd hoped to finish them a few days earlier, but I've been tired for much of this last week. Now to see if I can still get a song finished before Alan's South Texas Season ends. I'll be back to choose the winners and tell them what shirts will be available as prizes for this Seasons.
IAmNoMan - I'm My Own Grandpa (Latham/Jaffe) - A classic. Well done job on this. Leave 'em laughing. Nowadays this song always makes me think of the Futurama episode.
Barbablanca - A Few More Songs (James Donal Faulkner) - That's a fine song, and this performance would make for a great encore. The harmonizer makes you sound like Fairport Convention. I was surprised that your final encore wasn't one of your own songs, but I can see why you'd play this one.
Barbablanca - Those Were Our Lives (original) - Good job, Berni. Don't change a mote. The first verse has a reggae-ish rhythm. After the first chorus, the other verses have a more driving beat. I'm glad this Season was able to inspire you to write this song. I wish I was that good at inspiring myself to sit down and write something.
Rustyy - What's the Matter with the Mill (Memphis Minnie) - This is an inspired choice, Rusty. I never heard this song before, but I'm liking it a lot. After watching you play it, I listened to the Memphis Minnie and Tuba Skinny versions, too. I've really liked the Flukes I've had, I hope the Firefly is as much fun.
TheOnlyUkeThatMatters - The Street Parade (The Clash) - Great job on this, Ralf. I've listened to it at least three times now. I guess maybe I never listened to the entire Sandinista album, because I sure don't recognize this song.
Lumpy Wafflesquirt - Show Me the Way to Go Home (Campbell/Connolly) - Good choice for a closing song. Nice work with the kazoo there, too. You gave me a little bit of vertigo when Rotate-o-Vision sped up, but otherwise an entertaining video.
PlastikUke - Gute Nacht Freunde (Reinhard Mey) - Very nice fingerpicking. It sounds as though you've been doing it for years. I wasn't familiar with the song, but I found an English translation of the lyrics:

Demimondaine - Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go to the Party (Courtney Barnett) - I haven't heard this song before, but I like it. Do you play History Eraser? A few months ago, my wife was downtown and heard a song playing. She liked it so much she jotted down some lyrics so she could look it up when she got home. It turned out to be a Courtney Barnett cover of a Grateful Dead song. By the way, how do you get your camera to shimmy back and forth every couple of seconds? I thought I was imagining it when I saw it on the Shut Up and Dance video, but it's really obvious here when I look at the door behind you.
manfrog - The Mariner's Revenge Song (The Decemberists) - That was fantastic, John! Thanks for sharing it with us, even if I can't hear the uke. Great to see the family in the band with you. Did Steve Shelton go to Boston University? I knew a guitar player named Steve Shelton when I was there.
