Friday, March 7, 2008. Playing wit' some video and camily famera. Camily Famera", our new family camera, has been a fine addition to our household.

Moosikle Musings und Ukulele Usings: Habitat Song

http://ukemusings.blogspot.com/2007/05/habitat-song.html

Saturday, May 12, 2007. This little ditty has been floating around for a while in me head, and though it has previously seen the light of day, thanks to this blog it has also now seen the light in the recording booth - or at least the moth battered light outside of my living room window. Hopefully this blog will reach all the way to Mendocino county and get her listening. I gotta little house a ways up the street. Where I cook up my food Where I kick up my feet. Keeps me dry Keeps me warm. My posted song...

Moosikle Musings und Ukulele Usings: MONSTER ON THE LOOSE!!!

http://ukemusings.blogspot.com/2008/03/monster-on-loose_9214.html

Saturday, March 15, 2008. MONSTER ON THE LOOSE! Listen carefully for the fabulous scrapings of my musical saw. Next up: "I'm an elf"! Last night a crack in the sky. A meteor was thrown to the ground. Opened wide, I wondered why, inside. There was nothing to be found. Eleven foot tall and hairy. Drags blood stained knuckles on the ground. There's a monster on the loose. Some say he looks like the science teacher. Others say he's looking like the newest kid. I am saying he looks just like that. You and Chr...

Moosikle Musings und Ukulele Usings: Blue Collar

http://ukemusings.blogspot.com/2007/09/blue-collar.html

Saturday, September 22, 2007. No one can deny the coolabilty of Bachman Turner Overdrive. I find their version of this song to be the topmost entry in the BTO catalog of cool. My version is a melodica, a ukulele, and a TV-voice filter. Not quite. As cool as the original. Saturday, September 22, 2007. Infinitely cooler than the original. though I like that one, too. Helps that we were raised on them, I guess. You are going to have to send me a straight mp3 so I can drop this on my iPod. Sweet.

Moosikle Musings und Ukulele Usings: Beaver Dam

http://ukemusings.blogspot.com/2009/08/beaver-dam.html

Friday, August 21, 2009. This is a tune with age-old roots, and requires a lot less backstory than I have written here. So: hang on, if you will. I better ask my lovely and happy wife), I do not connect with the world of sorrow and longing in many of Croce's songs, as lovely as they are, and therefore I categorize his music as "Dad Music", and more of an historical, umm. record, if you will. But enough about me - or, at least, that part of me. Let me show what I can picture, in the foreground:. This reco...

Moosikle Musings und Ukulele Usings: Sparky Superhero (classroom collaboration)

http://ukemusings.blogspot.com/2009/09/sparky-superhero.html

Saturday, September 26, 2009. Sparky Superhero (classroom collaboration). I have been teaching songwriting in my son's third grade class this year, and presented below is our first group assignment. Written in concert with 20 third graders, My son's third grade teacher Bonnie Raines, and myself, we all feel it is a fine debut effort. To start, I played a simple chord progression for the kids, suggested a melody line, and sang the chorus. An exercise in showing the kids how easy and fun writing a song can...

Moosikle Musings und Ukulele Usings: Garage Sale

http://ukemusings.blogspot.com/2008/11/garage-sale.html

Monday, November 10, 2008. Was massively inspired two weekends ago, playing music with some good friends: Cary (guitar), Tony (stand up bass) and Noah (guitar and stand up bass). The following weekend had myself, Cary, and his wife Amy (on the fiddle) at our house, and it was another great musical time. Lyrics need some tweaking, but here is where they are at this moment:. Tubs of rubbish up for sale. Awkward knick-knacks by the pale. Its a chime in time that without fail. Vinyl available in any old style.
