So sorry to hear about your family's challenges and loss, Berni. Hugs and ukulele love from all of us to all of you. 💕 And happy birthday! I picked this one because I got a point for my trivia team last week by instantly recognizing the first beats of the opening riff to "Spirit in the Sky"...

😆😆😆 It's nearly 8am in Europe, so hopefully he'll be along soon....

It's already after 2pm Sunday here in sunny Brissie, and still no Season 580. 580's loss is 579's gain - or the other way round depending on your perspective. Plus, can it be already nearly the end of day 6 and we've not yet seen this iconic "crazy" song? We can't have that, can we? Also...

Oh, Berni ... it's nearly midnight where you are ... will we have to wait until just hours before midnight Hawaii time to learn what your fabulous theme will be for 580?

I wondered about that. Try a VPN? I can share one if you need.

Really? I entered "Porter Wagoner Dig That Crazy Moon" into YouTube search and found about a dozen.

I couldn't decide which of your three options to choose, so I did them all: Key

Seasons are still 8 days, I think, right? So it ends on the midnight that starts the 27th?

This is one of the very first songs I learned on the ukulele. From the aforementioned Beatles' White Album. It sounds like a lovely sweet charming little love song ... provided you don't listen too closely to the lyrics. When you do, you realize he is singing to a fantasy lover he's never met...

I forgot to mention that this is not the first song I've written for my mom and her commanding birthday, and with a similar title. For her 80th I wrote her an actual march! I "family-sourced" the lyrics, getting input from as many family members as possible. Jingle as a form is about three...

By the time you read this it will be March 5th in most of the world, but it was March 4th in the US when I wrote and recorded this … which happens to be the only date in the calendar which is also a command … and, coincidentally (or auspiciously) also the birthday of the woman who birthed and...

Man, if I don’t get my video done on Sunday, especially this week … I’m screwed! I had all sorts of elaborate plans yesterday - I was going to do a mashup of key bits of all the songs, arranged to tell the story of the movie … which I have seen, but not recently, and I didn’t make time for it...

Here's the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Dancing_(soundtrack)

And a bonus video: Two brand new friends stopped by the horse barn where I live this afternoon. I met Chris two weeks ago, when we both arrived early for the weekly trivia game we both play regularly. It’s hard to meet members of other teams once the evening gets underway, so I was happy to...

Well, thank you, Val - it was the perfect theme at the perfect time. I think I first had the idea for this mashup about eight years ago ... so thank you for helping me finally get it off the back burner list! One night all those years ago at music jam party, "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats...

Fun theme, Val, and an adorable opening video! I could watch that all day. 🐮💃 I do have a mashup of two dance songs on my “back burner” list, so I know what I’ll be doing today. In the meantime, I will say that the hardest video I ever made was this one where I played the ukulele, sang, and...

Working too hard can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack. First thing I thought of, one of the greatest songs ever recorded, from one of the greatest albums. So fun to do! Big-time Billy Joel fan here - soundtrack of my high school years. I'm "Movin' Out".

Well, Ila, since you liked last week's mashup, here's one of the first ones I ever wrote. It was for Yacht Rock week, I think, and the focus was on maximum cheesiness. I wanted to do some female Yacht Rock, so I googled it. A search turned up these two suggestions, both over-the-top...

Well, one of your favorite words rhymes with it. I hear a new song in the making....

Come on, Steve - you knew if you gave me two choices, I'd mash them up, right? I mean, really, what other choice did I have? 😁 I was going to call this "Come On Up to the House of Peace, Love, and Understanding" ... but your title of "Tom Waits for Lowe, Man" is too good ... stealing!
