Whenever I've thrown those dice, wherever I have played, the Blues have run the game:
I was reminded of this one the other day and wanted to have a go at it, because I think it's a lovely tune, though the song tells a sad story.
The original, by Jackson C. Frank, was produced by Paul Simon, and there've been plenty of covers including a particularly lovely one by Simon and Garfunkel.
I added a baritone ukulele, as I often like to, because if anything is better than one ukulele, it's two ukuleles. I also doubled up the vocal because it just seemed to sound better.

Friday evening greetings from Finland! I've been listening to your songs and they really cheered me up after a long workweek. There is a lot of talent among Seasonistas, but also a lot of knowledge, humor and good spirits. Thank you for your splendid entries! We have the whole weekend left to bring more songs, and it's not over until Ralf plays his ukulele.

So many coincidences today.. This March marks 14 years since the March of 2007.. the March that changed my name to Joko, I bought my first ukulele, and became a thing... 7 years ago today, I moved to Myanmar, 6 March 2014... and today was also the day that I've resigned in my head to knowing things aren't going to be like the used to be here for maybe another seven years. It's turning into a warzone. Another department head wants me on his team in Bangkok... I think I'm pretty much set on leaving now...
and in 7 minutes the internet gets shut off ...
I thought this song was about the old Chinese game "Go"
The cops here aren't nearly as nice as the one's Shel Silverstien wrote about...

Here's a song that Maggie used to sing to our kids when they were three. (They're gonna be 44 on March 16.)

I wonder if someone is going to do a Chuck Berry song before the week is over. Just thought of a wonderful inappropriate song, that I am not going to find play myself .

A Toye is a popular renaissance tune by an unknown composer. It was published in The Jane Pickering Lute Book in 1616. Ifirst came across this in Tony Mizen's book From Lute to Uke. The version I based my video on is by Roger Ruthen. Take a look at his website, he's got a good collection of tabs: https://pdfminstrel.wordpress.com/

Jim and I seem to think the same way - again I was in the middle of working up a song when he beat me to the mention.
It's a marvelous song though, so you're getting it twice!

The Legend of Zelda game came out just as my two sons were the right age to enjoy it.
The whole family played this game, and spent a lot of time enjoying it.
I even got into playing Ocarina as a result of their interest.
I've been practicing this all week, and then realized I had not much time left to make a video.
I hope I am in under the wire... No singing this week.

Oh no! My anxiety and depression caught up with me this week. I practiced my song all week, then I got too distracted on Sunday to get my song recorded
Looks like my "perfect attendance" streak has officially ended at Season 471. Dang.
Still, here's a toy video for those of you who learned to love robots in the 80s.
