Thanks!
Rick - I hope perusing TG is helping to distract you from that whopping new piece of metal you're now carrying around and the discomfort that inevitably goes with it. You do know that most people just wear their piercings on the OUTSIDE right? ...just sayin'.
thanks for your sweet words. I'm glad you like it. Hey there's got to me a million uke appropriate hat opportunities right?
Dennis - Your responses NEVER fail to put the hugest smile on my face. Thanks for your constant support and encouragement for my playing AND singing. Actually, I learned this song because you pointed it out to me, so I'm REALLY glad that you feel I did it justice. Open mic....haha!
well...maybe I should wait until I can play it in front of you without freezing up.
I am planning to join a ukulele group as you know and there are regular open mic nights, but....well I'll definitely be checking out the skill level of performers first before I even entertain the idea of getting up the courage to get up myself. I'm looking for fun and motivation at this point rather than .... Pure terror...
yes I guess I should shut up about how it could be better. It's just so frustrating when you know you can sing it better and play it better, but it doesn't come together in front of the camera. Well you know what that feels like to some extent. Thanks for being such a sweet friend.
Suzi - Hey, there you are sweetie. Well as I said to Den, I always feel like I'm begging for praise when I point out an up load to one of my friends. But, I do know that it's easy enough to miss new posts, especially in the busking threads. I've definitely done that before. And since you're one of the people I'd told about the new uke, I wanted you to see and hear it in action too. I think you'd enjoy playing it. It's a little different from your mahogany tenor 4-string. It's not really that complicated. But, it sounds a little more complex because you're only strumming certain strings at times and the extra C and A string fills out the sounds nicely when for example I'm only strumming the E and A strings on the bottom or the the G and C sets on the top. The thing I found trickiest, was a change from Dm to an F# (in the second verse) where you have to use your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers to form the Dm instead of 1-3 so you can land the F# in time and playing the individual notes of the G-chord in the third verse (because you need to avoided the low bottom string to hit the right notes). The latter won't be a problem with your uke. This song is EASILY within your skills if you're interested. I'll send you the tab if you'd like it. Just write me. I actually really like the variation in sounds in this song. Eddie is a smart man. Thanks for being sweet about my singing. I'm still trying to be more confident in that area in particular. Thanks sweetie. I'm really glad you liked it.
