Second entry.....

If U2 where playing in a Honky Tonk, they would definitely play this Dalton Brothers/U2 Song. I've added some percussion and extra Vocals. This is Lucille by U2/the Dalton Brothers:

Happy Birthday, BDU! Go honky tonkin'!

I'm at the beach for the week so I'm going one track old school with just the iPad. Here's a song from Tim Timebomb & Friends that seems pretty honky tonk to me.

I don't think we've featured any women yet. Kitty Wells is among some of the first of the honky tonk women.

Before the great Kitty Wells came along, a woman's role in country music was to be a backing singer for a male performer. Interestingly, Wells's first big hit, It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels, was a riposte to Hank Thompson's Wild Side of Life. The latter mourned the bar-room infidelities of certain so-called wild women, while the former reversed the point of view.

Here's #1 Myrna



I had so much fun with the washboard last week that Ive used it here too

Thanks for this one. Randy Travis and country music this "recent" isn't really on my radar but I like this song. I'll have to add it to my song book.

Here's my second entry. As a kid I grew up listening to Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Ernest Tubb and their ilk and many of their songs were about lost love. I think this rubbed off on me, as when I go all country I seem to end up writing break ups (or their aftermaths) - as in my old theme for my last season. Here is another one:


Lyrics in the Youtube description.

IMPORTANT P.S.
I had been having trouble uploading videos using Microsoft Video Maker recently (lots of error messages). On the Net, the Forums I found advised reinstalling. I did that tonight and it installed a later version than the one I have been using. Looks like there are some fun improvements. BUT it now seems to have put these ugly black lines at either side of my video. Any MSVM users among you seasonistas know how I can get rid of them on future videos?

And here is another honky token women, Loretta Lynn.

Is there a ratio setting you can change? It looks like your screen ratio is out of whack.

For Season of the Ukulele 173, the theme is "Honky Tonk Music". Here's a song about a real honky tonk angel: "Venom Wearing Denim" by Junior Brown. For concert ukulele, with ukulele bass and tenor ukulele overdubs.

SOTU 173 - Closing Time

Original by Lyle Lovett. After I did this, I realized I had flubbed one word, but it still kinda works, so I kept it.

The ratio settings are usually in the 'Project' settings. You look like you need widescreen as you do look a little 'squished' in the vid.
