hey gang,
well someone's gotta kick it off, so here goes...
Your Challenge:
"Woody Week".
sing a Woody Guthrie song, one-take, no overdubs. Could be a song he wrote himself, one of the countless numbers of traditional songs he adapted with his own lyrics, or a traditional song he was well known for performing. It's also relevant because as many of you would already know, this year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Alan (UKISOCIETY) has already opened a wonderful yootoob channel honouring the occasion. You can check it out here to get some additional ideas:

or else PM me and I can maybe help you out, as I have a big pile of his recordings
Parameters:
are basically the same as those set by Christian. Don't want to make things too formal, but just introduce your song as "Woody Week" for the 7th season Uke Challenge and post your clip here on the thread. Use any instrument you can with as many arms and legs as you possess - as long as a ukulele is front and centre.
I will commission an esteemed group of judges to help me with the judging process. Criteria: playing, singing, creative flair, personality, setting and the j'ne cais quoi factor (whatever that means)...I'll post a critique ala Christiano style and announce results the same way the following week after close date. Hopefully the winner will take the reigns and run the 8th season...and so on...
Prizes
not sure yet but there will be a couple of uke stickers, a CD or 2, some felt picks, maybe a kazoo. I'll see what else I can rustle up.
Cut Off Date
Entries should be posted here by midnight, Hawaii time on Sunday April 1.
That's it guys. Once all entries are in I will do up a playlist and send it to Alan for inclusion (hopefully) on his yootoob channel. Any questions just post em here...
Lets keep the love and encouragement of each other going gang, after all, that' what it's all about eh
blessings and love to all
