We're sort of at an impasse here.
This month, we've been playing non religious Christmas songs for the patrons and kids in Shriner's Childrens hospital lobby.
The kids (and parents) have interacted with us to a greater degree than ever before, and I doubt if it's due to our skill.
Up till now, we've mostly been playing songs that WE relate to, and we're all old farts. One guy even said, "It's time these kids learn the old stuff."
I Called BS, maybe they don't want to. I said "maybe it's time we learn their music." I got a lot of resistance. Now, I'll admit, I really hate Drop Baby Drop.
I know that most of today's music sucks, by our musical standards, but I want these kids and parents to experience something they can relate to.
We're there to help alleviate their anxiety, not for the pleasure of banging out Hello Mary Lou (which I also hate) week after week.
Where can we find songs that are easy for us to adapt to ukulele (Intermediate skill level) that these kids, ages toddlers to teens can enjoy?
Thanks!
