We now have something like 30 artists' playlists in the "Do You Have A Playlist Of Your Original Songs?" thread, which includes literally thousands of original songs. The Season's Playlist is nearing 100 entries, and I'm delighted and amazed with every entry.
I love the Seasons!

"The Witnesses" a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - arranged by pabrizzer
I wasn't sure I'd be able to get anything done in time for this Season, Randy. I had to use the first few days wrapping up SOTU 349, and then we had to leave for weekend travel. So, this comes to you from our hotel room in Richmond, Va at the UkeFest Virginia Festival.
This entry may not fully meet your Season's requirements however, because it is technically a collab, and the lyrics were not original.
pabrizzer set Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "The Witnesses" to music for Season 175 for Doug's theme about boats. He gave the chord progression info in his YT description, and it is basically a 3 chord song.
I put together a songchart for it soon after he did it for the Seasons, and I have wanted to cover it for a long time. Thanks for the opportunity to finally do so.

I am loving this season! Can we just make it a permanent thread?

With the thousands of amazing originals in reserve, I'm betting that a Seasonista Original could be found for most any Season!

Midsomer Estate Agency
One of the first songs I heard on the seasons was Sparky's original song 'Midsomer Estate Agency'. I just love this song for both the clever and funny lyrics but also for the melody. So I started working on my cover and in the process I think I made it into a Britpop tune. Well I was young in the 90's and have been living in the UK for more than a decade and since it is about a (fictional) English village, I reckon it's ok... Hope you like it. So fun to work on. 3 ukuleles were 'killed' in the process. Cheers.
This will be my last song for this season. Been really enjoyable.

FIL is visiting Alan Thornton and him and the Throckmorton Ukulele band have recorded a song for this season. But Alan has been having problems accessing the Ukulele Underground site. So he asked me to post this for him. Here you go. I hope there are still people around on this Season to listen to this great song and performance.

Genius idea for a Season Randy. Wish I’d had more time to do more than just the one.

A very boring man!
What a week this has been for me, Randy - and I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling that way.
For the first time ever, I’ve heard my songs played by other people. In fact, not just by ‘other people’, but by people I’ve come to regard as friends, people I’ve quickly come to like and respect way beyond their considerable musical abilities. I’m flattered and honoured that they chose my songs to learn and play, and I’ve been moved to tears on more than one occasion by the amazing results.
And the opportunity also to cover songs by just some of the amazingly talented individuals on this forum was the icing on a very special Season 350 cake. Getting under the bonnet of these songs just made me appreciate them even more - I only wish I’d had the time to do more.
And, Randy, it has to be said that starting the seasonista originals playlist thread a few days before your season started was a stroke of pure genius - and I’m sure it will prove to be an ongoing treasure trove for many years to come.
So, in summary - thank you, Randy, and thank you everyone! You’re very special people!

^ What he said
Couldn't have put it better. And like Randy says up thread, there's no reason we can't continue doing covers of seasonista originals to fit future themes, so there's hope yet for the list of ones I wanted to cover but didn't have time/ability to do in a week

there's actually a 4-way member connection here:
a song written by Cheese, inspired by one of Joo's paintings of Russell, performed by me.
I love this theme so much Randy. I sorta feel like it should be a recurring one.
one thing I've found going back over all these fantastic original songs written by the folks' here
is that each person has such a unique style and voice, and so hard to replicate. and there to, is the beauty of covering music -
we listen to a song, we breath it in, take it to our hearts and breath out a new and different life.
really feel privileged to know y'all and be part of this place sometimes.
thanks for the reason, brother.
