Tenth Season of the Ukulele Challenge

[glass]

Here's one Earth Day entry---R.E.M.'s acid rain anthem Fall On Me---from two seasonists:



Thanks ukuleledaddy for teaming up this week!

(Oh, and notice the Earth-friendly bamboo uke in my hands. That uke's sustainable, baby.)

Nice duo guys!!! Nice bamboo uke too!

Wow it's a Seasonists Supergroup!
You sound great together. Thanks.

Lots going on since I last checked in,
Strumsilly, that was ambitious, but you pulled it off. Beautiful tune.
UkuleleDaddy, Eco Anthem in the trees, great stuff.
Welcome Benjoeuke, glad you're aboard, nice job with a tough song.
Uke4ia, you are awesome, you come on all straight and normal with the home office and the button down shirt and then haul it over the rocks like nobody's business. Love it.
ReaderMo, you made it through one of the most verbose songs ever with nary a stumble. Impressive.
Glass, you are a force of nature. A force for good. Nothing re-used about that performance. Excellent.
I think I already commented on Eugene's song. I'm still astonished.
Nice showing this round.
AM I the only one doing two entries? The rules are a little ambiguous as they say you may do Shakespeare OR Earth Day, but then further down:"you may enter two performances, but only one for each category"
thanks friends, peewee

Thanks for the kind words....I figure I just like to record and hopefully may win something. Still learning alot but having fun!!!

Can I count the "Hamlet" video I posted on the first page toward the Earth Day contest because it's recycled from 2008? I just thought today of an Earth Day song that I'd be interested in doing, but I don't know if I'll find the time by Sunday. I'm doing an open mic night tomorrow, and that's my priority at the moment.

hey gang, back for a second helping of the 10th season. This is my bash at a tune for Earth Day...I originally did "A Hard Rain Gonna Fall" but the computer couldn't cope with a 7.5 minute download so I went with a shorter one, "Garden Song" by David Mallett, an ol' folky from the 60's and 70's

My 6 y.o. daughter just saw me scroll past your vid and said "Oh I love that guy can we see that?" Your appeal is universal, Jon!

mattydee...before i invest too much time in this next song, might i inquire if just mentioning Shakespears name in the song lyrics qualifies and or just barely meets the requirements?
if not, i'll try another! thanks!

That'll do. We've already got two entries so far which have qualified in that manner...

I don't think I'm going to get an entry in on time I've been ridiculously busy, and now I'm sick too. So if anyone wants to borrow my song, I was going to do Green Sleeves, which is mentioned in The Merry Wives of Windsor, right after Falstaff says "Let the sky rain potatoes!"
