@Andrew Thank you! ☺🎶
Hello everyone!
This month I chose “Clocks” by Coldplay.
And this is what I got:Have a great time! 🌼🌿🌺
Hello everyone!
Here is my version of “Free Fallin’”. It’s slow, about 80% of final speed. It turned out almost meditative 🧘 😂😂😂

@The_Bumble_Bard I don’t know if it’s any consolation to you that my “Eastern European general education school” didn’t teach anything about snow monkeys. I’m wondering what “snow monkeys” means? Animals as such (that like to bathe in hot springs; I saw that on TV as an adult, not as a child in school), or something else?I like that Andrew adds a description to most of the pieces. But sometimes I have never heard of the song title or the performer before. In such cases, I am interested in finding the original. To see if there are any differences between the studio version and the live performance. Or are there any differences between the original performance and the performance several years later?
@The_Bumble_Bard – I’m not trying to guess what will happen next month, as I usually don’t even know half the songs (never heard or seen them). So, just like @dianna, I’m looking forward to the first of the month (yes, comparable to Christmas) to close another “education gap,” as the Germans jokingly say 😁
@andrew Thank you! 🙂
@grannieannie Thank you very much. I agree with you that playing the ukulele in this place would be great 🙂
When I wrote “sitting and wasting time”, it was not about me. I was having a nice Sunday afternoon, going out to the canal in another part of town with my husband.The phrase “sitting and wasting time” was taken from the lyrics of a song by Ottis Redding. It is about a man who left Georgia and sought a better life in San Francisco. The expectations of the man in the song were not met; his life situation did not improve. He received a lot of advice, but did not follow it, and he felt lonely. All he did from morning to night was “sit on the dock and wast time”
@The_Bumble_Bard thank you, Rachael 🙂
Hello everyone!
Here is my attempt. I chose „Sittin’ On The Dock of the Bay“.I don’t live in San Francisco and we don’t have a bay, but we do have a place where you can watch ships, mostly barges, go by. It’s called the Mittellandkanal.
There are docks there, but I wouldn’t say it’s a comfortable place to sit. It’s a favorite place for joggers and cyclists. However, if someone wants to “just sit and waste time,” no one will bother them 🙂I am a Premium Member.
Have a nice day!

Hello everyone!
I, like @concan, played “Come As You Are” in May 2021.
And now I want to revisit this song.
This time I would try to play it as a band.Have a nice day!
Hello everyone!
Here is my attempt. I chose Magic Uklele Waltz.
I read that Roy Smeck performed in a variety show and thought I could imagine this waltz as background music for a variety show or circus act. 🎪🤡🎈
My version is slow 90 bpm, I wanted to play it as a band (marimba, which is not visible but can be heard, was played by computer).Have a nice day!
Thank you @Andrew and our ukulele community! ❤ I am happy to read your warm words.
Good luck to all participants!☘🍀☘
So, here is my attempt.
I was mainly focused on “The Pogues ‘Dirty Old Town’ on TV 1986” but also a little on “The Pogues – Dirty old town, live 2012”.
As I don’t sing, I limited myself to a verse – bridge – outro.
Many thanks to Lars, who let me play his drums and kept me company with a tambourine.
Have a nice day!
