Season 471 - Click and wind on

[UkeFoote]

Here's an ukulele arrangement of Brian Keane's "Ansel's Theme" from the soundtrack to the PBS documentary about the photographer Ansel Adams. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexp...e/films/ansel/

For tenor ukulele, with overdubs of Ashbory Ubass and melody tenor ukulele, which we hear processed with the ElectroHarmonix Mel9 mellotron pedal.



Thanks for hosting, Steve!

The end of day one (in this time zone, at least), and nine entries from nine Seasonistas - a wonderful start. How some of you manage to do a multi-tracked entry on day one is beyond me. It normally takes me until Monday to pick a song, let alone record it perfectly five times.

Anyway, thanks all.

Oh, did I mention there's a prize? Well, there is. And the winner will be picked at random, because I hate having to choose a favourite. All the more reason to focus on getting an entry in. Don't be negative. (See what I did there?)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh if there is anything more thrilling than ukuleles, surely it has to be cameras?! i hope more people share pics of their old or indeed current camera kit!

ok here is a homemade song for the season, about painting from a photograph, it's not as good/fun/rainy as painting outside, but then again i can't remember the last time i had to grab my art stuff and make a quick escape from an alarmingly boisterous swarm of bees, indoors...

This is a song by Lake Street Dive. Really, it was too much song for my vocal cords to cash, but c'est la vie.

Hurrah - I feel some Depeche Mode coming on! Cheers Steve!

And here it is:

This one is multiple layers of problematic nowadays but it's still damn catchy and fun, if a little tricky to play

Cheers for hosting this one Steve. Here's a bash at 'Zoom' by Fat Larry's Band ........

Well, here is my current (and also old) camera kit.

Back row - Rolleicord (early 60s), a tiny Box Tengor (1937-ish), Agfa Isolette II (probably mid-50s)
Front row - Kiev 4a (1968), Olympus XA4 (1980s), Contax IIa (1951-ish)

All in good working order, and perched on a my desert island photographic book selection.
