I’m working on “For No One.” I’ll try to record it in the few days.
Hi all,
I'm just off to have my throat and sinuses scanned as they're getting worse, but I didn't want to disappear without posting anything today. So here we go. Totally unpracticed & non-rehearsed. Warts and all. I even had to read some of the words!
But doing it cheered me up and made me feel better. lol

A solo arrangement of Paul McCartney's Yesterday. I hope you all enjoy!

"Ain't She Sweet" was covered by the Beatles & released on an album in 1964 I used a bit of Ceramic Reverb from the bathroom tiles to help soften the shock of my croaky old voice! What the heck it's just for fun!
You pull off that tin pan alley sound so authentically.. I loved it! The double strum kicks it into another gear.
There you go Mike. I made a new video for you !
My favorite McCartney bass lines are those played in "Something" and "Paperback Writer".

That's a great photograph Campbell. Mortarboards and a Banjo Ukulele..............could not be more different!Thanks Etudes, I'm certainly old enough to love this kind off stuff, my Dad showed me how to play this one! When I was a lad.
Here's a photo of him ukin' it up at Glasgow University Many moons ago.
Thanks Mike, thanks Campbell. I'm sensitive about my advancing years enough already, and now I've been assigned to old time music halls!! I want to be up there joint billing with Ed Sheeran! lol
Seriously though, thank you both for your encouragement and kind words!
Yes, is a Hofner Contemporary bass. Parts are from Germany but assembled in China. It is different from the entirely German-made Hofner in that it has a centre block which gives it more sustain. McCartney's German Hofner bass lines are busy because of lack of sustain so he had to play all those notes and I'm glad he did. His melodic bass lines are iconic. I've got quite a few of his bass lines memorized. Now I'm working on "Hey Bulldog" and "Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite".
Thanks for asking!
I know what you mean about the advancement of years Dave.............but when I think about it I would much rather do the the music halls than share joint billing with Ed Sheeran. It would be embarrassing....................shouting for me when Ed is playing!

Wow! How cool to have that uke heritage- that photo is just amazing.. I subscribed to your video feed- the tunes played on the aNueNue really stood out! Beautiful stuff
