I did this David Allan Coe song awhile back, and it got a good response, so this is a good time to try it again. The subject matter of this one is stuff I think about. I gave myself a double challenge here, I tried to do a rocker on a soprano, and do it sitting down.

Don't believe Turtledrum when she tries to make out that she's dyslexic, she's as crafty as a cart load of monkeys
Nabbed! I guess Not So EEEasy Does It, after all!

For Season of the Ukulele 371, we're asked to post a recording of a song whose title begins with the letter "E".
Here's "Everything Merges With the Night" by Brian Eno, played on baritone ukulele with singing, and overdubs of Ubass, secondary vocals, and synthesizer.

Let's see. I think XTC came from Swindon.

The Raleigh Uke Jam plays this song pretty regularly. The great fun about it is that no one under the age of 40 would understand the premise of "Smokey and the Bandit." Period. Why did they have to smuggle Coors into Atlanta? It's brewed in Virginia now. And besides, Coors isn't that good!!
Anyway, it's a fun song with some tricky changes. And the title begins with "E."

This is a Translator cover. Ericval knows at least one of the band members.

Here's a "Whispering" Bill Anderson song from 1974 that I'd never heard before. The picking, along with the fast moving and cute lyrics appealed to me as fun challenge, so here it is.

heh heh, never having been there I can’t comment Steve. However, I love XTC, and this is from the album Skylarking. Andy Partridge is one of those unsung songwriting geniuses in my opinion. I love his approach to songwriting, familiar yet different. The subject matter is something we can all relate to as well.
