A very boring man!
Welcome to Season 478 of the Ukulele! I am co-hosting this week with my friend and musical collaborator, Lynda - aka BirdsEyeViewOfMyUke.
And it’s a theme of two halves. My half is ‘High & Low’ - Lynda will post separately about her half.
So - I’m basically after songs that explore the extremes of high and/or low in all/any sense of the words. These could be:
Physical altitude - for example up a mountain, in an aeroplane, down in a valley... you get the idea;
Emotional state - for example emotionally high on love or adrenaline or as a result of physical activity, or low because of rejection, depression, failure, loss or for another reason;
Substance induced - for example highs and lows induced by alcohol, drugs, sugar etc.
Vocal range - a song that pushes you up to, and even beyond, the highest and lowest notes you thought you were capable of singing;
Uke related - okay, so we’re all very comfortable at the low end of our ukulele’s fretboard, but how often do we visit the dusty end? (For me the answer is almost, but not quite, never!) So see if you can venture higher up the fretboard than you usually would at some point this week?
If you can think of any other interpretation of high and low I will accept your song. But I would like all entries, even the obvious ones, to point out in the text of their forum post how their song conforms to the theme please.
Usual rules apply - originals, collabs and multitracking very welcome as long as a uke is audible. No song limit, and the season will run from 12.01am Sunday 11th April to 11.59pm Sunday 18th April Hawaiian time.
There will be prizes - 3 awarded by me and 3 awarded by Lynda - details here:
Most of all... have fun!!!
