SOTU 278 - The Woodpecker Song (Original by Chris & Lucas Denney)
Wow! Sorry to have been away so long, and I know I must have missed a ton of great songs.
A friend pointed out to me that the current Season would be a good one for my song, "A Redwood Board," but I'm not sure he realized I wrote it for another Season quite a while back, and would need to redo it. That would be fun to do again, but I recently heard a song at the Ukulele World Congress 9 that I felt really fit the theme - especially with respect to woodpeckers.
"The Woodpecker Song" was written by the father-son duo, Chris and Lucas Denney from Ohio. They composed it last September (2016) while attending the Ohio Ukulele Campout 4, but performed it for the first time publicly at UWC this year.
I video'd their performance, and you can see it at:

With their permission; Evelyn, Marylou, and I covered it last night during our weekly practice session. It's a fun one to sing along to, and I've added the lyrics as subtitles so: Please join in!
