All right- as many of y eighth graders have told me over the years, I am NEVER going to skip doing my homework until the morning...boy were y'all BUSY. Gonna go work on dinner for a bit, but for now, I a all caught up. If I left something out, or someone off the playlist, please let me know. And thank you all for such wonderful and enthusiastic submissions-
Wee- Love the feeder frenzy!! This is so much better than anything on TV.
Ryan- The Bob Wills version of this is one of my all-time favorites! You did a great job with it, thanks for getting it here! Are those feather inlays? Must have!
Paul- haha- don't remind me how young we all looked 10 years ago. I watched the playlist and just laughed... Great song here my friend, a fitting tribute yo a group of often despised birds that are really cool...they just like to steal food and crap on things. Many dogs could be accused of the same

Couldn't make out what you said at the end there, but thanks for your excellent add here!
Marc- Totally counts! The darn things fly don't they? Beautiful tune here very nicely performed. Their is a swallow-tailed kite in the southeastern US and this song is a perfect accompaniment to it's "kiting" behavior. Thank you for playing for us.
Cee-Jay- LOVE ME SOME T REX!!!! Excellent bring good sir- this is just great! I tried to ride a white swan when I was about four. Fun fact- that really pisses them off. Thanks for playing this one!
Bob- Lucky for us that goose was in the right place at the time! This is one I did not know, excellent performance here as always. Where I live, Geese are not popular animals (they tend to congregate in parks and well, do what geese do), That will likely change after we are out of this virus wave. Anyway- thank you for playing this for us and introducing me to it!
Voran-Nice tune! I have been fortunate enough to see a golden eagles first flight. We were monitoring a re-nest and off she went. I had no fingernails left after the first few minutes, but she figured it out. Thank you for writing and performing this for us.
Part deux- Another really nice and certainly visual depiction of these cool sea-birds. Thank you again for your enthusiastic response to the theme.
And more albatrosses (albatrossi?) - I love the first line because while the Albatross is spectacular in flight, landing and take off are pretty whimsical. Thank you for another tribute to these magnificent birds. Curious, how did you come to like them so?
And a RAVEN!!! LOVE RAVENS!!! I have two that while I try hard not to imprint them come to the wires outside of my house nearly every day for a treat. Been going on for years, long enough to assume that this is a new generation. In my volunteer work I tend to be these and other Corvids the most, and have come to love them all. Anyway- I could prattle on all day about Ravens (we also have one in our ambassador program) but I won't go on except to say that this is a fantastic story- thanks for sharing it with us.
Del- Another self-penned tribute to the Albatross! This is great Del, love the arrangement and the keyboards- all of this works so well here! I think my love of birds comes from a desire to fly. For me, Turkey Vultures re the ones that get me right away...but I love how your song evokes such great imagery of flying. Thank you for writing and performing it for us!
Voran- The way you describe the duck has sent me down a rabbit hole- and today I am learning that you have Mallards too! They are called Lacha there, but the description was clear enough to make me think...you know, I believe I know that duck... Thanks for playing this for us.
And also- Another song that evokes the desire to fly. Pretty sure that is where my love for these animals comes from...but also, their whimsy. Birds are really very funny if you watch them as well. Happy New Uke day- sounds great! Thanks again for another tune.
Mark-WOW- that uke sounds fantastic, and as always your singing is spectacular. Are you also playing the Sax? Excellent performance here, and I enjoyed seeing your little blue bird friend. I had a breeding group in college that I just adored. Thanks for this one
Wee- EXCELLENT! I think it is a right of passage to read Bukowski in college here. Heck, we had a cat named Charles Bukowski. This adaptation of the poem is perfect- thanks for sharing it with us
BEV- This HAD to be here, and I really love your rendition of it. I agree with Berni. This is YOUR version and it is really well done- thanks for sharing this and more artwork with us!
Cee-Jay- If I had a nickel for every song I played in which I did not enjoy myself until eventually...I would have a bunch more Ukuleles. You did a great job with this song, another fitting tribute Albert Ross

Thank you sir! The ending has me laughing from the gut!
Berni- Haha! I think you are spot on here! I would love to fly...love this one! A great little inquiry into what those guys were thinking. I also like how you take a look at where they live as well- sheesh Penguins! I think it was Ginny- Seasonista from way back, who sent me pictures from her trips to see several species of penguins. Anyway- thank you sire for writing and performing this for us.
Liz- I agree with everything Del said here, and will add that you can do so in four days? Incredible. I have never seen a whippoorwiil, but for two years (about six years ago) I would here one in a park about three blocks from my house every night. I cannot tell you ha many times I ran out at 3am in my boxer shorts to try and find it. Never did. Happily, none of my neighbors write songs about our neighborhood.
This is a great tune here, thank you much for writing and performing it for us!
Ylle- I blew it- didn't do my homework last night and have been at it for hours today. This song is another that had to be here, and you handled it! Very nicely done- thank you for playing this for us, and reminding me it is time to take a little break and go give my chickens some treats
Jim- Another one I have not heard- this will be on while I make dinner in a bit. What a great little song and perfect performance here! The red winged blackbirds are dive bombing you because they are jerks! I have a friend who has an entire (huge) collection of photos of RWBB riding on Red-tailed hawks. Such little stinkers.
Marco and the MUJ- I hope y'all don't mind but I went ahead and got my uke to join ya! I love a play-along, and this one was great! Thanks so much for sharing it with us folks
Mike- Oh man- this s a treat! I have never heard this song, but I know a lot of owls...many of them have foul attitudes, and this sums them up completely! Excellent performance here- thanks so much for playing it for us and the introduction!
Dinner is tablitas, home made salsa verde, elotes, grilled pineapple and rice. Gonna be good!! See y'all later. Keep em coming!
