Season 424 - ‘On The Spectrum’

DelGriff · Apr 5, 2020

Morning all - just over a day to go and the entries are still rolling in - I’m a very happy boy! At the start of the week I was hoping we might end up with 50 songs - well we’ve just hit the 63 mark, which is a fabulous effort! Thank you all! So it’s overlap Sunday - know Andy’s excellent TV theme will start to draw you (and me!) away, but any extra entries you can manage here today will be very much appreciated and a huge bonus! Please check the playlist and let me know if I’ve missed anything! Thank you all again!

Edit: now 64 entries - Jon snuck one in as I was writing this!

Great week this week!

I thought I was done already. But the idea I had had earlier for a song using "Gamma Rays" finally gelled.

So here is my "Gamma Ray Blues". Enjoy!

PS Forgot to add in the credits that the CGB Slide "Mississippi" is by Crow Swamp Guitars

Well, with most people hunkering down everywhere , this Tom Petty song "Cabin Down Below" came to mind, with a radio they put on soft & low.

"And the world was just a spectrum of light..."

"Questions" (Manfred Mann's Earth Band) by Pavel & Olga.

When you are old and gray

Neither grey, nor black, nor white are actual colours on the electromagnetic spectrum (they're tones). But as the second two have been allowed in, I'm claiming a stake for grey

Radioactive, by Imagine Dragons. Sorry for the repeat, as I saw that elmann posted a fine version here. I was working on this one earlier in the week, then forgot about it until now.

So with some sadness and much appreciation to you all, I now declare ‘Season 424 - On The Spectrum’ at an end! You’ve all been magnificent - thank you soooo much. I’ll be back in a day or two with a wrap - watch this space! Now go play some TV intros for Andy!

Oh!!!! Is it Monday????? (Completely lost track of time here!) Thanks for a great week, Del ... the theme did not prove quite as intimidating as I thought it might.

STOP PRESS - ONE MORE WINNER!

Oops! Somehow I missed this when going back through the playlist to make my decisions regarding winners for the season! I’m only human after all! So there is an extra winner - Brian ‘UkeFoote’ for this fabulous cover of Electric Funeral! So sorry Brian - please pm your email address to me and I’ll send you a certificate ASAP!

For Season 424 of the Ukulele, we’re playing songs about the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Here’s “Electric Funeral” by Black Sabbath, for concert ukulele with singing, with overdubs of Ubass and secondary vocal.

I hope it's not too dark for you all - I don't beleve in most of that rot, I have just always loved BS ; )
And given that I don't like to make videos longer than 3 minutes, at 4.5 it's also REALLY long.

Persist in thy health-keeping!!
