So this is me laid (almost) bare. For some reason I was a little put out when @Renaissance-Man recently said he’d like to hear me “unprocessed someday soon” - my knee-jerk reaction wasn’t the best and I swiftly apologised. And then I got to thinking it’s been a long time since I recorded...

Thanks Alec! 😆😆😆

I do love a number that reads the same upside down (I’m sure there’s a name for that, and I’m sure some smart Alec will immediately tell us what it is! 😆) - so I’d better take 609 if that’s okay please Steve? 🙂

So here’s a thing - a cover of a song by ’80s synth pop duo Yazoo (known as simply Yaz across the pond) - but it’s just me, baritone uke and capo (with some added reverb and effects). Not a synth or keyboard in sight - I can barely believe it myself! This is probably my favourite Yazoo song of...

He is our very own @wee_ginga_yin - check out the Seasons Of The Ukulele forum!

Thanks for hosting, Arvin! :) I’m not, and never have been, a huge Take That fan. But @YorkSteve’s post a little higher up the page reminded me of this one. It’s a beautiful love song that doesn’t actually mention the word love a single, solitary time. Some synth bass and pads added.

… and neither did I, so please let’s not give @MentalAtom a hard time here guys. I think he/she is getting such a kick from the progress he/she is making, and just wants others to realise and experience the same level of achievement and satisfaction, that’s all. :)

But why is it a shame? They want to be able to strum some chords and probably have a nice sing-along, either on their own or with some like-minded friends. The uke is great for that. There are also some incredibly talented uke players (a good number frequent this very forum, and I’ve even had...

Yet another songwriting collaboration from FAWM 50/90 - I wrote the music to Patty’s lyrics:

Just for the record, Rob - I loved your original approach to everything you did. When I first picked up a uke about 5 years ago I had no idea of its versatility - guys like you, and one or two others here, helped me to see how it could be used to create something that sounded fresh and relevant...

What a lovely thing to say! :)

Thanks for stepping in and hosting again so soon Val! :) Having publicly declared country music as one of my least favourite genres recently, here’s… a country style song from Squeeze. I know - I’m soooo unpredictable! 😆 “She sells off her silver and poodles in china” is the qualifying line in...

This was fabulous - big thanks to Brian (@UkeFoote) and Borfus for putting on such a brilliant show. Two hugely talented guys! :)

Thanks for a great week, Ila! :)

I’m guessing there’ll be a huge cash prize for your favourite entry, Val? 🤑

My daughter pointed out the similarity - she has a point! 😳😆

Season 600 Wrap Apologies for taking longer than usual to post this - I can’t think of a good excuse so I won’t offer one! :oops: Firstly and foremostly (if that’s even a word?) - thank you all for a wonderful week of music. It was, as ever, a joy and a privilege to host a season, and the...

An original - newly written. The worst thing you can possibly say to anyone that’s lost the person they love! But we all do it! Lyrics Plenty more fish in the sea But not one of them holds any interest for me I only want the one that wriggled free From me Plenty more fish in the sea But...

Morning all! Playlist should be completely up to date now - please let me know if otherwise. I’ll be back in a day or two with a wrap, and details of the prize (when I’ve worked out what it will be! 🤔) and prize winner. Thank you all once again! :)
