Just wondering... what will tomorrow bring...

Happy to take season 413.

Harmony Smurf; I used to play a bit of piano and had a Yamaha with 88 weighted keys. Pretty sure it was a P115. It was real nice and especially the grand piano sounded good. Just had a look and it is...

Thanks for hosting Berni. It was really fun to step up to the challenge. And so many fantastic originals this week.

Hi Brian,

I think that it is nearing the time for me to host another season. Let me know what you have for the new year when you get that far.

Cheers,
Mads

Oh no, I will miss Randy so very much even though we never met in real life. Randy was one of the first people to welcome me to the seasons and I always enjoyed his recordings, his comments and happy...

Once upon a time I could sing this kind of soul music for about 3 hours before losing my voice... now I can hardly do three minutes.... "Try a Little Tenderness" is one of my all time favourites and...

Hi ukulele folks. Here is my take on the famous Bobby Womack hit from 'Across 110th Street' which was used in the Tarantino film 'Jackie Brown'. Made my own little one man band using a lot of...

I am on a Jazz roll this week and there is at least one more song in me. Another jazzy tune as sung by Frank Sinatra 'A Foggy Day (In London Town)' - my favourite version is however the early George...

Here is another one as recorded by Frank Sinatra amongst others: My Funny Valentine. This was a tough one as I am playing the ukulele arrangement by Lyle Ritz from the Ukulele Masters Jazz Book. Took...

Hi Emma, Thanks for hosting and the mention in the wrap video, much appreciated.

And here is my version of 'The Crying Game' - when I saw this film as a young man I was totally blown away. Maybe it is time to revisit it if I can find it somewhere. Always liked the original...

Condolences Brian. All the best and I hope your wife gets better soon. Really sorry for you and your family.

Missed the Electric Season as we have been moving and everything has been quite hectic and a mess, so I am playing another new electric uke on this old Bee Gees hit 'More Than a Woman'. Actually I...

Hello fellow seasonistas.

Here is my take on the classic song ' Everybody Wants to be a Cat' - If ever there were some cool jazz cat slang then it is in this song. recorded straight onto the...

Really wanted to join this great party and the first song which came to mind when the season was announced was Bill Withers' old hit 'Ain't No Sunshine' because there just ain't no sunshine when...

Great idea Linda. Was just checking and Randy gave me a nice heads up on my very first video just over a year ago. Funnily enough, It was Randy who pointed me to the seasons as I found one of his...
