Season 272 - Like it was, Charley

turtledrum · Apr 30, 2017

Season 272. Submission 1. “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues” (A Collaboration – SurlyMac and Turtledrum) (Written and recorded by Danny O’Keefe, 1972)

Percussion, harp, audio mixing – SurlyMac
Vocal, tenor ukulele – Turtledrum

Mac and I worked on this one during the summer, Kolibri, but it hasn't ever been submitted to a Season. It seemed perfect here, but it's up to you whether or not you want it on the Playlist, ok?

I actually know this song best in a version by DC Talk, but it was written by Charlie Peacock, this is called In the Light.

And another song by Charlie Peacock, this I know best in a version by Russ Taff and is called Down in the Lowlands.

The Charley playlist has not been set up as a collaborative list as far as I can see.

Here's the Charlie Chaplin one that wee_ginga_yin didn't do

Moving Day was a tradition in New York City dating back to colonial times and lasting until after World War II. On February 1, sometimes known as "Rent Day", landlords would give notice to their tenants what the new rent would be after the end of the quarter, the tenants would spend good-weather days in the early spring searching for new houses and the best deals and on the first of May all leases in the city expired simultaneously at 9:00 am, causing thousands of people to change their residences, all at the same time. Pandaemonium reigned!

Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers recorded this in 1930.

Sorry about that, Rob. I added your entry to "Charley" playlist and fixed the playlist link in my first post.

Thank you, Linda and Scott, for a beautiful submission. I added it to "Charley" playlist.

Great theme Ylle with plenty of scope! I haven't finished looking at last week's offerings from Seasonistas yet! Best do that and then get writing (yes, you've sparked off some ideas, which is great!)

I think there is enough looking back in this song to make it suitable...

Drag the Lake Charlie

This is one of my favorite Drive-By Truckers songs.

Charlie and Ira...suspect to see them a lot this week. First song that popped into my head and then Ukulele Daddy sends it along immediately. Funny how that works

No way I was going to redo this take after Rani decided to drop in ...

hendulele · May 1, 2017

Buddy Holly had some lungs, man. Rani decided to hang around for this one, too.

ukuleledaddy · May 1, 2017

TCK and I seem to share a brain. I did indeed record this song last night as well. The difference is that TCK didn't get loaded and start dropping F-bombs. I did. So if you don't care to hear me cuss, that happens around 2:00, if you like train wrecks, well, keep the film rolling.
