Aloha ukulele brothas 'n sistas,
I still can't believe it, someone has watched my uke videos on YouTube and now wants me to play the uke at a Hawaiian/Swedish wedding in Germany!!! I'm so proud! Isn't it exciting!!
Now I'm asked to play Hawaiian songs, but the problem is, I DON'T KNOW ANY!!! I have less than a month to select some Hawaiian songs, learn to play them and prepare the gig! PLEASE, PLEASE, if you know any popular Hawaiian songs (and/or have chords/sheet music /tips /whatever) that are suitable for a wedding, please HELP!!
I would like to know which Hawaiian songs are usually played at a wedding... if you know, please post song titles!!
Much Mahalo in advance! :shaka:
Here's the original e-mail request (isn't it exciting!!!):

"My fiance and I discovered your ukulele playing on Youtube today. We are looking for a ukulele player from Germany who can perform at our wedding at the reception. I know this is an unusual request, however # (my fiance who is Swedish) and I (who comes from Hawaii) are marrying on August #, on the island of # where some of #'s family comes from.
As far as my background goes, I am originally from Hawaii however it is impossible for us to fly a Hawaiian ukulele player to Germany for the wedding! We enjoyed your songs on Youtube and you seem to play the ukulele quite well.
We are interested to know if you can play other songs, and perhaps Hawaiian ones, though this is not necessary. We can provide sheet music. We like that you have an entertaining personality as well as ukulele skills!"
