Some time ago, I saw Jon play a song that he wrote, ‘I’m Saving Up All My Dimes For You’ — I instantly fell in love with its upbeat and joyful essence! I asked Jon to send me the song chart for this tune, which he did readily, much to my delight. I had in mind to teach this song to the ukulele group that I started in my neck of the woods — but, alas, I never had the opportunity to do so, due to the state of world affairs.
So...I’ve been working on the song..a lot. It’s hard for me to play; this, as there’s a bit of chord melody/fingerstyle work going on, which I’m beginning to learn with playing this song.
I hope Jon will be alright with what I’ve attempted to do with his wonderful song.
Having said all that, I have a dual dedication for this entry:
1) I dedicate this song, along with a heart full of gratitude, to Jon — thank you for sharing your music and love for the arts with all of us!
2) I dedicate this song, also, to all Seasonistas. You all inspire me tremendously with your love of uke; with your love of sharing music; with your ability to keep on track together — being in community here on UU — even despite all that’s going on in the world. We are all making time for eachother, to be together — and that speaks volumes to my heart, to my soul. Thank you and love to you all!
