Gee, Brenda and Cam, those were lovely. I hope you have some more???

[Nickie]

Nice, Mezcalero....one of my faves.

[Nickie]

Lapy,
That was beautiful. What a cool looking uke, too.

When I first started playing, I was excited to discover that Ukulele Mike had arranged for ukulele a portion of a piano piece I'd learned as a teenager. This discovery resulted in several emails back and forth between him and me. Great fellow. RIP Mike. Hope I do it justice!



Edit: searched for, and found, ukulele Mike's version:

Very nice!

This is a terrific thread.
Ukulele Mike was a fabulous recourse.
He was incredible and a huge influence and a fantastic, generous teacher.
He will definately be missed!

Although I am not a soloist and rarely use tabs, I have many of his books.
I learned this one yesterday for the seasons to dedicate to him.
Only giving myself a day to try and get it together, it is rough.
I tackled this one at a slow pace and felt really good about it......until I went and had a listen to his timing and pacing :/


Take a listen to Mike's Waltzing Matilda. He played with such ease!


Here's mine after several hours and about a million takes.
Maybe sharing this will encourage others to do the same.

That was bueatiful! I've been trying to learn it off tabs, you've gotten along much further than I!

I get very excited whenever I see new post , new comment , new video on this thread.

Robin Harrison - I love your sense of humour. The hat, that smile ... especially those ukes. I would love to have them to keep me company!
Will you be playing more songs using those fancy instruments?
You are awesome!


Pabrizzer - That song has been singing in my head. Thank you for posting your second video.

Mezcalero Kevin , its amazes me how quickly you can master a song. What's next ? There is no rest now!!

[SoloRule]

I learned this song tonight.
My this week contribution , hope you like it!
PS. Ukulele Mike said mute the strings so I did!

[Robin Harrison]

When Brenda was playing this so nicely, she was humming these words to to herself ........

“Tenors, Sopranos and years of hard study
Parties in Markham with David, our buddy.
South Coast, Oasis or any old strings
………….Brendas in love with our favourite things !”

When a string breaks, when I screw up.
When I want to cry.
I simply remember what Brenda would say….
Buy, buy, buy !"
