We are winding down here at season 300. What a week it's been. You people are fabulous. I've learned so many wonderful songs this week. I'll be down various rabbit holes for weeks! Thanks for your contributions. Still a few hours left so if you haven't had the time yet, now's your chance. And make sure you find yourself a fun tune to play 301. Western Swing is rabbit hole you will no doubt enjoy!
Here's what you've done today:
hendulele - Between You And Me - A serendipitous recording, right on Graham Parker"s bday! Wonderful. I have never heard this tune. Really nice.
tootler - The Salt People - The banjo uke does fit nicely for this song, I agree. Interesting historical song. I love that you included all these wonderful bird pictures in your video. Nice addition!
Recovering Bassist - I’m In Touch With Your World - Great cover! I loved The Cars' first album as well. Haven't heard this in years. I love your percussive use of the uke body. Excellent work.
JodeTheToad - The Hills of Isle Au Haut - I am being exposed to so much new music this week! New to me anyway, and that's the point. Thanks so much for this. Not a song or artist I have ever heard of before. Very nice.
Rustyy - Walkin’ Down The Road - I've always liked Jackie Blue. Never heard this one. Looking forward to checking out the original. Good tune Rusty. Thanks!
Recovering Bassist - Bull Mountain Lad - I never knew he had the nickname "No Show Jones", lol. Poor guy. Yeah, I guess he's seen a lot of trouble in his time. Really good song.
AlanDP - Stay In - I really like this tune. Nice use of the uke to simulate bells. And yeah, what the heck is a turtle dove? I'll have to see if I can find the original.*
Desert Pavement - Plum Island National Anthem - Interesting tune. Never heard it before. All we drink is beer. Lol. Gotta nice shuffle thing going on here. I like it!
Desert Pavement - You Gave Your Love To Me Softly - This sure is new to me. I like the lyrics. Cool song. I've never heard of Pinkerton either. Am I just old? lol. Thanks for turning me onto this.
TCK - Stay Close To Me - Play in an outhouse anytime you like mate. Yeah, I've never heard this. Lovely tune. This just might send me down a rabbit hole. See you over at 301. Think I'll showcase my new uke!
29moons - Put This Love To The Test - John, you made it! Yay. I have to admit, I did think you were about to Rick roll me. I have never heard of Jon Astley. At least I don't think I have. Cool tune. I'll have to have a listen to this album. You definitely hold it in high regard.
dickadcock - Tangles Red And Blue - I've never heard of The Accidentals. Nice song, and well done. Sounds like my kind of tune.
Demimondaine - Good Times - Haha, cute song. Is this another original? I like it. Beautiful sounding uke there. I remember wishing the hey day of the San Francisco music scene would return. Yup.
