Well friends, here's another rundown of all the gifts you've shared today. Thanks for exposing me to so many hidden gems. Keep them coming because I need the distraction.
Jazzbanjorex - Barney Google - Hahaha, don't think I've ever heard this. Good, fun stuff. Nothing brightens up a day like some googly eyes, I always say.
hendulele - Haley’s Comet - Of course TCK knows this one. lol. I do not. So glad you brought this one, I like it! Good story song.
Jazzbanjorex - Chocolate Chip Cookies - Season two hundred and what? Lol. I can relate. Fun song! Now I'm totally jonesing for cookies. *Now we all know the way to Rex's heart.
TCK - Last Pale Light In The West - I know I've heard some Lucero tunes from you in the past. Don't think I've ever heard this. As usual, I love it. It's clear that you do too. What a somber song. Perfect for this rainy NW day.
TCK - Carrie Nation and The Speakeasy - I know I've never heard this one. I'm not on the front porch right now either but I'm playing along. This is totally in your wheel house. Shoot, wish I had played this one on the body parts show I did recently. Always another show, right? Just can't fix this kind of broke. Great tune.
AlanDP - Close My Eyes - New to me. What band is this? Catchy tune. Sounds like it would fit right in with some bouncy 60s pop. Fun stuff!
AlanDP - Way Down Here In Mississippi - How cool that you get to jam with this guy at the nursing home! That's gotta be a ton of fun. Sounds like a fun song to play. I have certainly never heard that one. Thanks for bringing it.
bird’s eye view of my ukulele - Desdemona - Cool! I'm totally up for more Marc Bolan. That is not a rabbit hole I have explored much yet but clearly I need to. I listened to the original recording of The Third Degree last night and loved it! I like this a lot. Thanks!
TCK - Cold Beer - Yes, play this for every season you can! And get Mel to sing along, the whole song, not just one line. lol. *And now both you and Recovering Bassist have both said beer. Here we go. Wait, I just checked and I am all out of beer. And mom in law is here. Tragedy! TCK's obsessed. Part of the fam, part of the team. I love this song! Of course you know that.*
pabrizzer & mountain goat; aka The Butterboxes - What Does The Deep Sea Say? - Oh, what I wouldn't give to jam with the two of you! What a special thing this is. Not a tune I know and I almost don't even want to check out the original. Huge smiles up here in the northern hemisphere. I'll be coming back for more for sure. Thank you gents.
TheOnlyUkeThatMatters - Life In Vain - Sorry you missed the show. I wasn't even aware he was in town! Great song here Ralf. Pretty simple yet every line just hits you in the gut. It's almost hard to listen to, but truth isn't always easy to hear. Wonderful addition to the week.*
YorkSteve - Galileo - Maybe some folks have come across this tune but I've never heard it. What a piece of songwriting. Really nice. Glad you brought this one.
wee_ginga_yin - Black Man - Never heard of The Rubberbandits. I'm all for offending everyone across the board. Interesting song for sure. Thanks for posting the lyrics in your vid. I like it. Gonna have to check out these guys with plastic bags over their faces.
SparkyUkulele - Poor Boy - Good to see another one from you! And this is every bit as good as the first one, which is saying quite a bit. Again the vocals are just superb. I love the move from picking to strumming and back again. You make this song sound like it was made for the uke. Love it.
Recovering Bassist - My Father Smoked His Pipe - Workers paid their taxes and the salary of the kings. Pretty topical stuff. Powerful tune. Never heard it before. I love that you're playing this song in a rocking chair. Nice twiddly bits in there.
