Midnight at the Oasis - Ukulele Solo

MikeHollandGuitar · Mar 5, 2019

Midnight at the Oasis. This song was written in 1973 by David Nichtern. It was recorded by the singer Maria Muldaur. When I first heard this tune I thought the guitar work by Amos Garrett was the most perfect accompaniment to a song that I have heard and I still think that even today. I have arranged it here for solo ukulele and have tried to incorporate some of Amos Garretts playing also. Played on an Ohana TK35G tenor ukulele with low G tuning. I hope you all enjoy. Mike

Wonderful, Mike! Thanks for reminding me of this song. I loved it back when I was in high school and I'll go listen to the original now.

That was very nice indeed. It's not a song I'm familiar with but I really like the Jazz voicing of the chords.

I like the tone of your instrument. Is your ukulele plugged in on this recording or is it recorded acoustically with a microphone? Just curious.

Brilliant! The sound you created from this Ohana is magical .
Very very nicely played!
Crystal ball tells me ; your next uke would be a long neck tenor !

It is just recorded acoustically with the camera mic. It is an old Zoom Q3HD. The video is not great but the mic is good!

Thank you Brenda. I don't think it will be a long neck instrument!

Great work Mike, I always admired that guitar solo too, it was just perfect for the song, and you've nailed it here!

Thank you John.....It was actually easier on the electric guitar, and that was tricky enough!

This has a great contemporary feel to it Mike (anything >1940 being contemporary to my ears)

And your tone and execution, flawless as always!
