Give a Little Love - Paul Williams

And interestingly, The song was written by Paul Williams, who played ‘Little Ennos’ in ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ - 100% FACT
It ALWAYS comes back to Bert!!

Name to follow….

Suddenly, monkeys, computers, ukuleles, robots, and games dont seem that interesting anymore

I bring you…

My Name is Monkey - seiichi0217

More of this kind of thing, i say!

This track is one of the many by Kiyma Dawson to appear on the ‘Juno’ soundtrack, and its ideal for beginners because it only has three chords - C, G, and D. Yay!!

Tree Hugger - Kiyma Dawson

On the recording its played once, then repeated up to the line “Appreciate the effort”
(So do that if you want)

As films go, I thought Juno was OK, but perhaps not worth all the hype. (Maybe im getting old?)
But, I really enjoyed the soundtrack. I have a couple more tracks i will be sticking on here over the next few days/weeks/months/when i get round to it - so watch this space.

Wiki informs us that..

The Canadian television series running from 1979-1985 featured many famous stars at the time including the young Mike Myers as the character Tommy before he later found fame in the movies Wayne’s World and Austin Powers. The song that plays during the credits, “Maybe Tomorrow”, is composed and sung by Terry Bush.

Theme from The Littlest Hobo

I reckon that husky/wolf/German Shepard thing could have taken Lassie in a fight - no problem!

So it ordered it last week, and it came today - yay!!!

Look at the rather cute bridge

And the geared tuners - Definately a selling point - I think they make a BIG difference

Ive taken off those horrible black ’strings’ you get with new ukes,(i use the word strings in the loosest possible sense) and put a set of Aquila Concert Strings on. It INSTANTLY sounds about 1000 times better.

On the whole im rather impressed by it. I was worried that the action would be a bit mental, but actually is OK, and the build quality in seems pretty good too. You also get a free bag, which will not stop it from getting damaged, but will at least keep the dust off.

If you fancy giving the uke a go but dont want to spend much money, I would definately recommed buying one. My only caveat would be that you NEED to buy a decent set of strings (like Aquilas) for it. (If you’re in the UK, you can get these from www.theukuleleshop.co.uk/ )

And heres me giving it a quick demo - I apologise for the singing
