Or, more specifically, celebrating a year of music by Steve (YorkSteve).
As many of us know, Steve just completed 365 consecutive days of playing a song on a little plastic ukulele in order to raise funds for solar lamps to be sent to children in Africa (more details here). Moreover, he managed to play at a high level of quality AND stay engaged with the Seasons all year long.
In recognition of this herculean effort, and for making the world a little brighter (literally in this case), this first full week of 2019 I would like to hear your versions of some of the 365 songs played by Steve during 2018. You can find them here (on the web) or here (on YT).
Original songs are welcome. Please make them songs about celebration, friendship and/or togetherness. I have enough negativity to dwell on as I sit here at home twiddling my thumbs and waiting for permission from the US Government to go back to work.
No prizes this week besides a grin, a pat on the back and my undying gratitude for making the Seasons what they are.
The Rules
Usual ones...
The Season begins at 11:59:59 PM Hawaii Time on 5 Jan. and ends at 11:59:59 PM Hawaii time on 13 Jan.
You can play anything you have previously brought to the seasons, but the video must be newly recorded for Season 360.
Multi-tracking ok but the ukulele must be prominent. I will deviate from recent norms here and say that it must be a ukulele.
1 song per day limit
etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting some usual rules, but if you aren't sure then just ask here and I will do my best to clarify.
The Wrinkle
Once a song has been performed, it is removed from play.
Steve played a wide variety of songs and styles, and I think this should be within reason. Exceptions will only be made for submissions that come very close together in time.
Saturday is a free day. If you have spent a few days working on something and find someone has played it, then it is ok to post it on Saturday. Hopefully this will nudge some submissions from folks who might not otherwise contribute.
I will post the playlist once things start rolling in on the 6th. Until then there is still more than 24 hours remaining in Del's percussive Season 359.
Thanks everyone, and Happy New Year!
