So, we have a couple friends from the Nashville area… They play ukuleles, but, not what you think of, with uke tunes…. They turn a tune into their own. Their band is great. They really make listening fun….
Here’s an example of one of their covers…. Never ‘liked’ the tune, til they spun it upside down …. Go, give a listen to it, and their other work…. Good stuff……
Been a couple weeks since I posted. Been busy getting ready for this adventure… We left at 3am cst, for Pennsylvania and a ton of fun…
Spent the night in Somerset, Pa, cuz it’s too difficult to drive all the way in one day…
Made it to Pottstown/Boyertown the next day, and the fun begins…
It was a great trip/adventure. Kelly, and Funky Frets killed it…. So many good friend, and fun… Kurt, Kendra, Cheryl, Pete/Dee, Diane, Sharla, Louise, and 182 other close/new friends… And now, onto more fun!!
Hi. More of our impromptu Saturday night jam, with a bunch of friends… Soooo much fun, and talent!! Diane Poole, Kirk Jones, Sharla Rae, Tina Zee, Mike August, Angela Aaron, and Ray Cygrymus… Apologize if I missed ‘you’…
Hi there. This is a short video of an impromptu session in the vendor area, last week, at the Memphis Uke N Roll fest, with our friend Ray, and the amazing Andrew Molina. Check him out … Love his style… Both are amazing musicians….
Hey kids…. Our friend Tina Zee absolfrickinlutely knocked it outta the park w/ this one…
Hey there… Our super nice, super talented friend, Gail Herrera, was nice enough to let us join her on an open mic tune… She’s so smooth… It was a ton of fun…. Hope you like it….
Hi kids… Our super talented friends, Sharla Rae, and Ray Cygrymus did a stellar job on open mic w/ the classic tune from the ’80’s…
Hi. So, I’m going to try to share a few of the amazing video jams from the Memphis Uke & Roll Fest, last weekend. So many talented people, sharing tunes and love…. The talented Ray Cygrymus, Kirk Jones, Sharla Rae, and Tina Zee … ABSOLUTELY killed it, w/ ‘Under Pressure’… An impromptu ‘let’s play this’, Kinda thing… So good…
Hey kids… So, we went to Memphis last weekend, to a ukulele festival. Been looking forward to this for two years… We shall not speak of pandemics… Our friends Mike and Ann picked us up, and off we went down the road.
Arrived in the early afternoon, and from that point on, it was go, see, do, listen, share. We went to a meet/greet bbq dinner Thursday evening… Good fun!
We got to play a tune, at the open mic, after dinner….
Friday, we wandered the downtown/Beale St area… What musical history…
Got to hang w/ several of our friends, in real life (IRL) for the 1st time in forever, and, in some cases, for the first time
This is just a part of what we saw, heard, and experienced… A great time…
Hey kids… So, have loved this tune since it was released in 1966. Very hip/edgy and all that… The original tv show was called ‘Danger Man’, when first produced in 1964 in the UK. When it came to the US in 1966, title was changed to ‘Secret Agent Man’… Johnny Rivers had a hit w/ the tune… A lot of Cold War spy tv shows and movies then. This one, ‘the man from UNCLE’, ‘The girl from UNCLE’. James Bond… Etc… But always liked this tune…. Anyway, here is The Magtones version, w/ a lot of help from our friend Mike… He always makes a song better…. Hope you like it…
