Season 270: Be-Cause
Welcome, Seasonistas and all other uke players who'd like to join us for a week of good fun and listening! All are welcome!
Over the years singer/songwriters and musicians have used their voices, visions and talents to support causes they have believed in. Performing in benefit concerts has been their way to focus public attention where they felt it was needed. Attending some of those benefit concerts has given me memories I’ll never forget.
Our theme for Season 270 is “Be-Cause.” Let’s rekindle the flames of those great benefit concerts and performances. “Be” with those performers and their “Causes.”
Here’s the challenge:
Here’s a Wikipedia link that may help to refresh your memory of some of the benefit concerts the world has seen:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_concert
Cover songs performed by performers who have contributed their talents to a benefit concert. It can be a concert that was held locally where you live; the benefit need not have received international media attention. The songs you perform may be from any point in the artist’s career and may be from his/her solo or band member phases. The concert must have been billed as a benefit concert.
*** Note: Benefit concerts (not recordings to support causes) is the theme.
***Be sure to identify both the benefit the artist performed in and the artist’s name in the Season 270 thread which contains your posted vid.
If you prefer to compose an original song, please use this opportunity to compose a song which reflects a cause that you have and/or currently believe in.
Unlimited entries. No previously posted vids from Seasons related threads. Usual start and end times. Comments will be placed on the Tube.
C’mon, it’s time for a good concert! Why? Be-Cause!
