Alan Thornton "bees and birds and other things"
Yes. Minor chord melancholy. This is exactly how we think when we think about this thing called love. Thanks for this thought provoking version. We love it Alan.
Ukuleledaddy "Shine" Pat Benatar
We LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE this Sean!!! So awesome brother. Better than the original! Smooth playing, powerful voice from your heart. Brilliant choice of song for the season. And thank you for filling us in on the inspiration behind it; we're guessing your beautiful daughters are as proud of their dad as he is of them. You have spoilt us this week man. Our friendship and love to you all. xoxo j&j

Kevin Griffin "The Birds and the Bees"
So brilliant, Kevin. Is that an Ono tenor? Man, nicest sounding uke we've heard this week and your playing is so spot on, the phrasing, your chord inversions, the arrangement. And your voice, wow, that voice. Joojoo is swooning man haha
Thank you brother for this. j&j

dickadcock "All That We Have Is Now" Jesse Winchester
this makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside, Dick. Your gentle, lovely vocals and the sweet sound of your strumming made this so nice to listen to. The sound from the dishwasher makes us feel as if we are there with you in the room. Can't pick a much more superb writer than Jesse Winchester to cover, huh. Thank you brother. j&j
Jodi Auborn "same Old Lang Syne" Dan Fogelberg
First of all, Jodi, the lighting in the room was lovely, really appropriate for the mood and substance of the song, and wow, how much do we love this song now after listening to you sing and play it. This was so lovely to listen to, the honesty and purity of your voice, it's fragility, the gentle fingerpicking. Just beautiful, thank you very much for playing for us this week. Our best wishes to you and your family for good things ahead this year. j&j
Jodi Auborn "Turning Toward The Mornuing" Gordon Bok
Gorgeous song, Jodi. Sure hope a lot of people begin to listen to your music; there's a light inside you when you sing, did you know that. And it's lovely.
