So, here's the story.
I currently reside in New York. About a year ago, I applied for a job with the Peace Corps. For people who are unfamiliar with the Peace Corps, it is a government agency that sends qualified volunteers to countries who ask for help in areas like health, education, community development, HIV Prevention, etc. After a year of interviews, essays, forms, evaluations, etc, I got the job!
I have been placed in Cambodia in Asia, which is right between Thailand and Vietnam. I am moving to Cambodia in 25 days and I will be living there with a host family until October 2013! My primary job will be teaching High School English. My secondary jobs will include any kind of community development the the town and I have interest in.
For my sanity, and for a fun cross-cultural ice breaker, I am bringing my ukulele! I'm bringing my tenor Cordoba. It's my favorite one and I know it is sturdy because it has been through a lot (Haiti, Costa Rica, etc).
You can be sure that the ukulele will be doing some sort of good in Cambodia.
My favorite thing to play on the uke is instrumental stuff with or without tab. I have John King's book of Classical arrangements and I LOVE it. I also have While My Guitar Gently Weeps that I'm working on. I want to take more music with me! I need to keep myself occupied for over 2 years!
Does anyone have any suggestions for other similar books? Or does anyone know where I can find music/tab to instrumental songs they love playing and they think I would enjoy learning?
