15 Feb 11 Ukulele Chords: Short People – Randy Newman/WIUO

As you know, I love the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra. I almost love them as much as i love Bret McKenzie. Randy Newman, i can take or leave, tbh, especially all the mawkish stuff. BUT, this video of the WIUO performing Short People is GREAT

Ive NO IDEA what Bret is playing in the clip – it doesnt even look like hes tuned to GCEA! But ive tried to come up with a version that easy to play, and you can argue amongst yourself over whether it should be a B7 or Bm7!

Short People – Randy Newman/WIUO

The problem of course, is that whenever anyone mentions Randy Newman – i can’t help but to think of “Randy Newman singing about what he sees”

11 Feb 10 Its about time i blogged again…

Ive moved house, im busy at work, but above all i had bloggers block!.

But anyways, ive decided to kick off again, and have updated WordPress and switched themes. 2010 will be the year of ‘less is more’ theme-wise

Speaking of which, who knows what 2010 will bring (apart from ZYM 3.0!! – launch date mid April!!)

Oh, and ive finally updated the Ukulele Songs page to include all of the chordsheets i put on here in 2009

HAPPY 2010!! (better late than never!)

18 Sep 09 A step forward, honest

Ive finally updated the site to wordpress 2.8.4.
To be honest ive been putting it off for ages, but actually its worked out pretty well – apart from it breaking the old theme i was using.
Still, a change is as good as a rest.

Im going to be playing around with new themes for a while. I would quite like something simple again, that talks to Flickr & twitter

Watch this space!
Oh, and i PROMISE i’ll start updating regularly again soon!
