Good Afternoon everyone :D

Yup, I've missed a day again, it's par for the course until my exam on the 14th June, sorry, but I'm snowed under with uni work and studying for my exam. I found out yesterday from my friend in the US that they don't call it "revision" but studying! Interesting fact, that no one cares about!

Anyway, moving on!

Aloha Joey,
Good to see you back again and Hope you are having a wonderful afternoon...thank you for keeping up with the Daily ukulele...Happy Strummings..MM Stan
 
Nice song Joey.. She has a really nice voice I didn't expect it!

Glad you are getting work done.. I also call revision homework or studying. Either way, it has to be done! I know I have to get on it too..

take care!
 
I will try this one!
 
I've heard this song a long time ago , in an old movie possibly

wiki has lyrics.

it says it was use in this 'I love Lucy' episode:

they never actualy play it though, so I dont think that was it.

here is a performance from 1957 where it has very much a Jazz feel:

but the original song is much older, here is an early orchestrational version:

good luck with your exam.
 
Wow, she was good. I didn't expect that either. I thought it was going to be some simple child's song played by a beginner uke player.
 
What an awesome song and a brilliant, brilliant rendition. Thanks Joey!
 
That's a great example!! I may have to try this one... I wish that they would include the extra verses, etc in the book!
