@dianna I was thinking about you when you responded about my technical issue. I had just read What you said to Andrew. It’s exactly how I feel. So well stated. You had a perfect entry and memorizing WAS such a challenge. Love the back drop. I said before I watched this with my grandkids and the train scene was cool going over the water.
Ok tech issue. I record on iPad IMovie but it’s mov. I ran out of space in Dropbox which did convert to mp4. So finally used adobe. I’ve never been able to upload directly to YouTube and not sure if mov. File can be used (if not converted) on RC. If someone else has info. We can move this topic to tech thread on this site. Thanks for your suggestion. My fingers are taking a rest today 🎼😁@andrew thank you for your encouraging words. I’m like a kid waiting to hear your response 😁 Age doesn’t matter for encouragement. I’m probably older than your mother 😆 Much appreciated.
The comments @dianna made are exactly how I feel “performance ready” and having to get a recording. RC is a platform that makes us push to improve. The amount of practice so many must be doing we could all go on vacation to a warmer location (23 degrees this morning). I’m so impressed each month. I see the improvement from members and learn from them too. It’s such a big part of my day. Thanks Andrew. You have created a wonderful site for us to share…. LouisaI AM PREMIUM MEMBER
I could repeat all the challenging issues with Always With Me, that others posted and I shared all of them. I chose this piece because I just fell in love with it (thanks Steven & Andrew) but probably above my level. I was shocked I memorized it but if I lost any spec of concentration, I had to start again 🙂 This was take 50 (maybe 30) but my fingers were giving out.
(just spent 3 hours trying to convert to mp4 and upload – arrrgh!)
Great job to all the entries, so many amazing musicians 🙂@suekulele real emotion in your playing and tone of your Uke is pretty. I enjoyed it. I hear you, about repeating chorus with length of piece.👏😊
@the_bumble_bard you did it! This piece is so tricky. I’m not a perfectionist, when it comes to music, as @shmu88 played to perfection I think, but I feel more of “survival mode” 😁. Andrew says don’t compare but have your own journey. Totally agree but watching the amazing entries gives me a bit of angst to improve… not a bad thing. Also TBB enjoyed your claw hammer. Impressed with your ability’s to transpose.
@ccwuke, nicely played. @jbmills07 lovely sound coming from that Uke. Ziggy really feels you’re playing with her tail❤️. @misterbones amazing entry. 😁👏.
Hopefully I can post Always with me soon but it won’t be at 100 that’s for sure.
Another amazing month of beautiful selections.@musiclover not sure link is working 🤔
Pretty funny TBB…
Enjoy some of the more modern songs but I’ll stick with a few of traditional hymns.
Wassail song
O holy night
O little town Bethlehem
Come all ye faithful
Away in the manger
It came upon midnight clear
What child is this
Angels we have headed on high
I know it’s more than 3 ☺️Wouldn’t mine few children tunes to play with them.
Good discussion LouisaThat is sad 🙁 very sorry to see. I’ve witnessed others dropping their instruments and cracking. Sometimes it simple as a strap coming loose.
Love you post about it… cute 🧌@the_bumble_bard well I think you’d be surprised how similar you sound to my start out of the gate! Guess I’m not only one. You are a champ opening up and exposing the REAL world of practice. Last week I almost quit this same song. Got so frustrated playing verse 1 before you get to crazy chorus. I had a block till I finally moved on and now chorus seems easier. Now I’m not saying it’s clean but I can get through it as of 11/8. Good luck. You are a good musician.👏😊
Love the sound of your custom Kanile’a @jbmills07 .You look “happy” with emotion playing it. Glad you will continue to showcase it. We can all 🙏🤞for our chance 😁.
I watched Spirited Away with my grandkids and for a long movie, it kept their attention and mine. Incredible artistry. I waited till the end and watched all the credits so I could hear the beautiful voice singing the song. Highly recommend as others did.
@the_bumble_bard, I have no doubt your entry will inspire all of us with your creative touch. I’m still chipping away with “spirit”.
@muzikmama cool sound from your Uke. I enjoyed it
@brettboy I think you should post your Avatar Ang costume, I’m sure it had your custom flair added 😀Wow off to an amazing start @deadbuggy and @johanna2509. Beautiful. @the_bumble_bard I started to learn Always With Me. It’s just so beautiful to my ear but OMG this is a stretch for me. We shall see… currently struggling with INTRO bar 9 just getting my fingers to the Gm. Thank goodness for the “loop” tab player. Sometimes its a mind block for me till I work it out.
October challenge had amazing posts. Love to see the level where everyone is.
Thought I’d ramble between practice on this crisp fall day. Thanks again @andrew keeping me motivated with the challenges. Good luck everyone. Oh, nice to see new “names” and some old ones back! I feel I know you 😀👏👋@andrew thank you for feedback. I can feel my slow improvement and going back to watch past entries, I really see it. Long road but enjoying the journey 🥾🌈🎼 Louisa

I chose Morning Dew. Gave me more practice on slides/hammer/pull off. I’d say I have some good calluses now. 🙂 Thanks again @Andrew for great lesson. Louisa
@brettboy so enjoyable. If there was a giant emoji, I’d fill the page with a smile. 👻🎃
Happy Halloween
