Thanks ukaloonie
Many thanks. I did do that but it was after I just pasted the address so maybe that mucked it up.
Where in Canada?
We spent a year there in 1995 and loved in. We were based in Kamloops BC but drove right around the country with only province not visited being Newfoundland.
Again thanks for your help,
Briz

Loved your part of it but would get a new back up singer.
Romulus is trying to steal the act.

Great song choice - can't go wrong with heartbreak hotel.
definitely has your own take on it.

I think his upstaging has been dealt with, if 0:35 is accurate
Photo too small to read. It says. "Romulus is now known as Dinner"
Great version (as always) Eugene!

Great version of that song Tina. I look forward to your entries each Season. But couldn't you have done it using a Baritone and made it "official"?
PS I'd never heard of "The Penguins", anyone else?

If only I owned a baritone!
I've heard of the penguins, there was a documentary about them marching. I never saw it, but it made my sister cry.

Great start. Some real R 'n' R classics. The period coincided with my school days. My parents hated R 'n' R so I used to go and sit in the Kitchen and listen to Radio Luxembourg (the only commercial station available in the UK at that time and reception was iffy at the best of times)
Just loved it. The heavy reverb - so typical of the time.
Really nicely done. The simple guitar accompaniment was just right. I saw the comment about a baritone - have you a tenor? that would have been almost as good.
Another R 'n' R classic in typical EE style. I remember the Fats Domino version with its thrumming piano. Your uke captured a bit of that. Excellent. I get the impression you were not too happy with the backing singer and are intending to sack him. :rulez:
My kids used to watch Happy Days so I saw a fair bit. About the same time there was a band here in the UK called Showaddywaddy who specialised in reviving 50s songs. I remember wandering round the classroom watching the kids doing some maths and singing "The Great Pretender" under my breath (as I thought) when I heard one kid say to another in a surprised tone "Hey sir knows The Great Pretender!". Little did they know! My wife and I had a bit of a laugh about it when I told her

I do, but it wanted bass strings. Don't worry! I'm pretty sure I have another rock song in me somewhere!

Yes, that'll be OK. As long as one instrument is a uke, though I get the impression you are thinking both being uke which is even better.

Great version. That dinky little uke sounds really good and loved your instrumental break. Definitely worth a bonus point.
I remember, in the film "The Girl Can't Help It", Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps were filmed through an open window singing this in a rehearsal studio and part way through they tipped their heads back so the blue denim hats they were wearing came off.
