Welcome to the Season 110! This week's theme: Art and Artists!
Here's the playlist for this week: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_U9rjDCAA7GOdm0dXI-Ch-2JxpFBokO0
Theme:
This week is for songs about art and/or artists. Stay up one starry, starry night when you paint...errr, record... your masterpiece. Because art is everywhere, I'll be pretty broad-minded when it comes to what constitutes art or an artist. However, for the purposes of this week of the Seasons, let's stay focused on the visual arts. So painting, sculpting, drawing, even graffiti and video count. What doesn't count would be songs about writers, singers, actors, musicians-- artists in their own right, to be sure, but not for this week!
Rules:
Prizes:
We'll have three prizes plus a special Bonus Prize:
1. The Masterpiece Award: For the best performance of the week, as determined by me, your humble host.
2. The Visionary Award: For the video showing the most creativity.
3. The Not Appreciated in His/Her Time Award: Randomly selected from among all entrants who have not otherwise won an award.

Special Bonus Prize:
Back in the 1950's, Groucho Marx hosted a quiz show called You Bet Your Life. Each episode, there was a secret word. If one of the contestants used the secret word, a puppet in the shape of a duck would come down from the rafters with $100 in his beak. I like that idea.
I have a favorite song in this category. If someone chooses to do it, they receive a special bonus prize. If more than one person does it, the prize will go to the first performer. No hints, because I don't want folks chasing after it. So sing the Secret Song and the duck will come down with a special Bonus Prize, just for you!
What prizes will actually be awarded? I'm still working on that, but rest assured they will be fabulous (ish)!
Ready... set... GO!

Rules:
- Art or artists should be a major focus of the song. If the word "painting" appears once in the song and never again, that probably doesn't fit; if it comes around every chorus, probably yes. If an artist's name is a major focus of a song, it doesn't matter if the song isn't actually about art--you're all good! The same would be true if the song uses a work of art as a theme. Use your own judgment. I'm not a monster.
- All forms of creative endeavor allowed and encouraged. Multitrack, invite your friends, create an animated cartoon, do interpretive dance, go all Trans-Siberian Orchestra on it. Just make sure the uke is featured, because, hey, this is a ukulele forum!
- You may enter as many times as you like, but you must designate one entry as your "official" entry. Only that entry will be considered for a prize. If you don't tell me which one, I'll pick one.
- Say "Season 110," blah blah yada yada. You know the drill.
- All entries due by 11:59PM Hawaii time on March 30, 2014.
