THE FINE PRINT:
*Songs must be performed in a classic, traditional country style – think Hank Williams, Lefty Frizell, Ernest Tubb, and the like. Other traditional styles are welcome, but try to keep in mind both kinds of music – country and western, just like that honky tonk in ‘The Blues Brothers’.
*Entries must state that they are for the ‘22nd Season of the Ukulele’.
*Recordings must be done in a single take – no edits or dubs.
*Any song is fine – it’s the way it’s played that matters. If you don’t dig classic country, pick a tune you know and be creative – just be sure to put some twang in your sang.
*Make sure there’s an ukulele in there somewhere…..
SCORING:
Musicianship - 15 possible points
Singing – 15 possible points
Creativity, musical and otherwise – 20 possible points
Since this theme was chosen to commemorate the July 18, 1952 release of Hank William’s ‘Jambalaya’, any Hank tune receives THREE bonus points.
Bonus tracks are encouraged and welcomed, but will not count towards your point total.
JUDGES: The SEUkers, our local ukulele club, will be asked to judge. If there are insufficient volunteers, I’ll just wing it.
DEADLINE: Sunday, July 22 at 11:59 p.m., HAST
PRIZES: Most graciously provided by Mike at Uke Republic
1st – A Uke Republic T-shirt and a set of Freemont strings
2nd – A set of ebony bones
3rd – A set of Lucy’s strings
Good luck and have fun!
