Wow. I can't believe I actually caught up with everything.
Really enjoyed myself thoroughly. I hope you are too.
( I have turned the "invisible mode on" OFF here, so you can't see me when i am here. I am so stealthy like a big cat.)
This is Day 4 for me, and I like everything I heard and watched. I caught a quick peek this morning (it's night here for me now) because I was excited, and I was smiling as I saw the videos.
Here are some comments and questions to a few of you who have posted.
Janet, who was that playing with you? April?
She was quite good. And the Oak Ridge Boys song is a good song, so sweet.
I caught a corner of your fish tank...do you have a name for the fella swimming in there?
I enjoyed this tremendously. Thank you for sharing.
Jim, I love those photos of your friends.
I like looking at people's faces.
Those are beautiful portraits, even though I don't know them, I feel I do. That is the power and beauty of a good photo.
I have listened to the version of your friend's song on reverbnation, and it blew me away.
(I hope the rest of you take a sec to check that out too.)
Edwin, what a great story about the lights going off one by one after you recorded your delightful cover. I saw the flash in the middle of the song. You don't get that kind of moment every day.
Also, I wanted to ask about the 8-string you're playing in your video...what is it? I love how it sounds. I heard Bob played his this week and absolutely loved the sound, and I think I want to get one too.
I have played Jon's 8-string uke which was I think a concert, and it was nice, but I like the baritone version of it. They have a name they call these 8-string ukes, right? I forgot the name.
And Rob, please keep sharing your videos. I really enjoy them.
You make these cool sounds with Garageband. I have yet to explore that. Maybe next week!
And, and....
the people mentioned here are not in the order when they appeared..
Joko did a twisted something...dunno what you call it...he played with the speed of the recording and stuff...
and I liked his "blooper moments" he included into his videos. It was part of the whole package and it was FANTASTIC.
Rick brought a cover of Apeman! Yeah! He sang the high parts well! Great job Rick! No squeaks from Rick! I laughed when you spoke in that falsetto at the end.
Ryan sounded real good. Bet your throat's all ready for your upcoming gig, Ryan.
Berni was here too! I love Berni.
Val showed us her knees...... How rude of you, young lady!!!
(when you're hosting you CAN say these things to your friends here.)
Del and Liz teamed up again, bringing us a really lovely cover of an Annie Lennox's song.
Del is in side-view and Liz is front view in the video..
(extra points will be given if you guys swapped in the next collab!...
I mean the angles you both film yourselves, LOL)
( was nice to see you Del...I was waiting for you)
Robin, I been wanting to tell you that I like your UU name. I always thought of you as "that lumpywafflesquirt" fella...although I only saw you here a few times.
I like rough and dirty recordings, and that was fun.
John (Ukecaster) told me he recorded his cover on a cell phone. You all should check out his cover.
The sound was so clean.
Mark played the second instrumental this week. The first was Pa's noodling yesterday or the day before...
(Brian, pabrizzer I mean, also brought us a lovely cover of a song by one of the musicians in Eagle and Wolf, the duo he recommended to us)
where was I....oh Mark...he played us a piece that reminded me a lil' of Bach...very sweet.
Nice to hear you and see half of you on screen Mark.
Anyway, I saw Liz here now! Hope she is posting another song for us!
OKAY people, auntie joo is logging off now....
see you all tomorrow!
