Greetings ukers, I teach a large (140 student) non-science majors class in Georgia Natural History (think of the birds and bees of the south or ecology for art majors). With a class that large one has to use innovative teaching methods and I was thinking of getting some of my uke friends together and giving a class concert of traditional songs that feature biological themes or describe natural features of the landscape (think The Cuckoo, Bluebird song, etc.). Because this is Georgia, I stretch the geographical limit a bit to include the southern Appalachians and perhaps the Gulf Coast, but the biological/geographic component should be the focus of the song. The point here is to show how the landscape/biota influenced the people of the region. So I'm looking for songs with uke arrangements that fit these criteria. I'd appreciate any arrangements that you'd care to provide, and any song suggestions even if you don't have an arrangement. I would classify myself as an advanced beginner (i.e., I can play E minor and B flat well but have trouble getting from E to any other chord <g> and I don't pick yet. TIA, g2
