Season of the 'Ukulele (SOTU) 629 - Season of the Cuckoo'lele
- Thread starter hands_on_lanzon
- Start date
I thought I should share this series of videos here, Chris. This is NOT an entry.
In March 2019, Jon @mountain goat , Kevin @Mezcalero and I did a series of songs/videos inspired by mental hospital patients. (details in the YouTube playlist)
We recorded 29 songs.
All the songs were improvised, using words by the patients themselves. I drew portraits of them and made the videos.
This is the playlist of all the songs we made.
And here are 3 of them:

I'm sure no one has ever graphed the submission rate of season entries, but it would be interesting to see the initial spike, ramp, then dwindle, and few blips at 11:59pm HST. (nerd alert)
It wouldn't take much to convince me that I coulda used my brain, experience, and time better, but I had the thought of this chart in mind and the nerd part of me overpowered the sensible part of me. Anyways... if any of you folks like data, here's some. It's a count of song entries by date and user (FYI, the colors and grouping are completely arbitrary).
FYI, I'm up to five postcards to paint, as 4 Seasonistas have signed up to host upcoming weeks and one new Seasonista has joined.
There's still some time to keep me busy!
Cheers, all!!
looks like the way ROMANCE works. hehe. cheesy comment needed to be made. :---P
3/9 is really encouraging - something is picking up! Yay.
I am curious to see more numbers in terms of the later submissions' views & comments. I don't see that represented on your chart (and in all honesty, it might require too much digging for something like this). But it is something I have noticed.

ahhhh yes! I recall @Joko describing a way to get YT (i think) to spit out some data from the playlist. Lemme see what I can do!

We Were Kind Of Crazy Then - Susanna Clark
Susanna was a song-writer and a painter more than a performer, but she sure wrote (and co-wrote with Townes Van Zandt) some pretty songs. Jerry Jeff Walker did a nice job of this one on his LP, Contrary To Ordinary.

Had the pleasure to hang out with fellow Seasonista Jasmine Fellows who was visiting Texas all the way from Australia! Her employer sent her down to the annual SXSW Festival in Austin, and she hopped on a bus for a day trip. One of her life long dreams was to visit Nasa Space Center. So we spent the afternoon there, and out of a handful of songs we discussed, this one best fit and it was her idea to get the space shuttle in the background. Really had a great time, and I wish getting together with each other across the distance was something that we could all do one day! Cheers, and thanks again for the season Chris ~

Still some time to fill up the calendar, folks!

So of course both videos I posted yesterday contained songs that would have been a great twofer for this + Berni's 630 "home" theme - "So Long, Farewell" and "We're Not Gonna Take It Home, Country Roads". So I've had to find two new ones. The first one I thought of would be a terrible way to start the home Season ... so I'll save that for tomorrow.
So how about a little Billy Joel? This one starts with "the crazy gypsy in my soul", so it fits here.
Plus it features about a dozen crazy cockatoos loudly proclaiming their ownership of this place I call my home. I turn the camera on them at the end, plus you get a behind-the-scenes peek at how I make these outdoor videos.

CRAZY by Patsy Cline. Uptempo
Thanks for hosting Chris, been a bit busy recently but I wanted to do something for you
because you're a very interactive seasonista and an exemplary host.
A quick cover of the song you played in your season opening post.

A massive thanks to Kev for hosting me and suggesting this song. It’s a wonderful story of the serendipity of SOTU. I’m so pleased and proud of our recording.
Thanks for hosting and supporting this opportunity, Chris! Although my participation in this community ebbs and flows with the chaos of life, it’s always in my heart.
