A very boring man!
Let me firstly say to anyone who started watching the intro vid and was instantly put off by me singing, I stop very quickly so you might want to go back and try again!
"Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" was a 1979 UK no.1 for Ian Dury and the Blockheads, and provides a great tagline for my theme for this week:
I would like you to play any songs with a percussion backing all or most of the way through. This can be anything from a tapping foot, to a metronome, to a friend shaking a tambourine or even playing a full drum kit as long as it’s clearly audible. There are also a good few drum machine phone apps out there with a whole load of options – often free and easy to use. I use Drum Beats+ - Loopz is another one worth looking at.
No more than one song a day please, and ukulele (either 4 or 8 string) to be the main instrument.
Collaborations and multi-tracking are fine.
Song choice is entirely yours but I'd love to hear some originals and I’d particularly like to hear some more covers of other seasonistas’ originals.
As usual the season will last for 8 days - start posting from the morning of Sunday 30th December (which also happens to be a certain headless Seasonista's birthday btw) through to and including the whole of Sunday 6th January.
I'll post comments on YouTube for all entries and would encourage you all to comment as much as possible too please.
I'll add a playlist to the bottom of this post as soon as we're under way.
There’ll be just one winner, chosen entirely subjectively on merit by me, who will receive a custom-made t-shirt to commemorate their victory.
Let me know if I've missed anything!
Most of all – have fun! And a Happy New Year to you all!

And here's the late, great Ian Dury to show me how it's done:
And don't forget Randy's 1930s season still has over a day to run so you still have time to add another song or two to his trove!
