What a delight!!! Those who know me know that I LOVE my ukuleles. A lifelong pianist & keyboardist (BA in music) I now play my ukes more than my keyboards. ANYWAY today I singed up for a 14 day trial of MagellanTV because I’m a documentary junkie, and there was a movie called Mighty Uke …

STELLAR!
One of the good brothers in There’s Life posts songs for Earworm Wednesday in his blog. I always give a listen, he has posted some interesting music there. But today’s song just blew me away. BLEW ME AWAY! As a huge fan of a cappella music, and tight harmonies, and male quartets, this made my …

Bye Bye Blues
Although, I don’t know how anybody could be “blue” on a day like today! It is sunny, high in the low 60’s, light breeze…fire going in the fire pit (an ADF – or all day fire – in fact!), handsome husband next to me, Maisie at my feet…and I brought my Enya Nova U out …

Time Alone = Recording!
So I had the house (motorhome) to myself today – if you want to call sharing it with 2 dogs and 2 parrots “to myself” – and decided to do some recording. One thing I’ve wanted to do is share recordings of each of my 3 ukuleles to show their different sounds and examples of …

I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary (on Yamaha PSR-S950)
Lord Have Mercy (on Yamaha PSR-S950)
This is played on my Yamaha PSR-S950. It is not a performance, just playing this song the way my heart feels it for my online friends. Since I don’t have a recording studio and live in < 300 sq ft I can’t get away from the sounds in our home. You will hear Maisie chewing …

Uke On The Road
As a lifelong keyboardist first and foremost, I really can’t stand being away from my keyboards. But it’s not practical to take one of them along on a road trip so last week I chose to take one of my ukuleles to Kentucky. Though I have an Enya Nova U that is perfect for travel …

Backyard Critters
This is a video I made of a few of the visitors to our feeder and the surrounding area. I made it for a friend, with the intention of sharing it here when eventually – which is now :). I hope you enjoy seeing the critters that share our space! These were taken from inside …

Sight-Reading Practice
I’m a pretty good sight-reader on the keyboard but have had to work on those skills on my ukuleles. Today is a beautiful day outside, and “the boys” are at their Promise Keepers conference, so I thought it would be a good time to make a video. What the heck, there are a lot of …

His Name Is Wonderful
I recorded this on my Yamaha PSR-S950. And, by the way, I don’t do “performances” – I just play for my own enjoyment, and share the occasional song with my friends. If you’re expecting perfection, look elsewhere šš
