Wow what a variety. It really showcased the different songs RC has in the library. So impressive.
Great entries but a few comments mostly because I love the song selection.
@bibilele so pretty, River runs, love it.
@dianna one of my favs, freight train, well done and yes a cool arrangement.
@leihali such a moving song, lovely. @janaq1 beautiful. I mentioned in different post our Uke group has learned various Hawaiian tunes this month and your Aloha Oe is so pretty.
@karenj love your banjo Uke. It’s so fun to play. I have to learn cripple creek. Well done
@Riley_ukulele amazing playing on Scarborough! Impressive
@gi_gi_ love the sound and how lovely that was. I haven’t purchased the mic but think I’m convinced.
@the_bumble_bard you do have a pretty voice and shouldn’t be shy. Your imagination always makes me smile with you puppet rendition ☺️👏 nicely played and thank you for my kudos. Btw I’m sorry about your car. You’ve had your challenges and loss this year. I wish for you smoother times to come. Keep strumming (I know your least fav) but do it well. As Matt’s lesson, focus on our strengths.
Well done friends 👍👏👍👏👍👏👍❤️@Andrew, thank you. Note clarity is my biggest fault when playing. I totally agree! I’ll continue to practice since it’s fun to play on my banjo ukulele 😊
@grannieannie absolutely, not stressing over perfection with the entries helps. I knew it wasn’t my best but I also knew that the next take, I’d probably goof on a different part. The harmonics at the end, I was sad I didn’t nail because I did so often but that meant I’d have to play 2.28 minutes to do it again 😆
@marianne lovely and such emotion. Love the back story. Tell us the brand of “Carlos Fabio”. I’m guessing that’s a baritone. Sounds so good.
@leslieb very nice. Great Hawaiian vibe. Our Uke group is performing at a luau this weekend with lots of Hawaiian songs. White sandy beach, island style, Maui girl… just a few. Hardest part is singing the native words.Great challenge @Andrew. I love that everyone picked different entries. We have such a diverse group. Again, all so supportive.
It’s time………… I basically picked first song in the RC library. But I loved the challenge of each technique. My pinky and ring got a workout . I really like the way Christopher teaches the 12th Street Rag. I might note he plays it at 175bpm and I think I may have gotten to 65bpm, yikes! Like many on this months challenge, I decided to take the best of my first few takes. All too often I stress over my entry and this one was just plain fun to play. Thanks @andrew and Christopher.

@the_bumbble_bard and @brettboy I started watching it a while ago but stopped. The melon party sounds like a great idea and how sweet you celebrated MD for your wife @brettboy. Great playing,as usual. @TBB, sad you celebrated with a ticket… sounds like a good song you could write.
Some great entries . @grannieannie nice one take job! @misterbones, super duet with base.
Still working on my entryLook forward to yours @TBB, Rachel.
LouisaIt has been a busy summer, hope to get an entry in.
@Andrew have a super vacation or “break”@gi_gi_ I’m glad you asked that question and hope you post the pros and cons. After @otzepeng mentioned it in his post, I looked it up. Price is good. I desperately need a microphone. I use my iPad and often it’s too far away for good sound or background interference. I’m trying to up my ”game” 😆.
I remember you showed your “recording area” a while ago and I was impressed.@otzepeng that was nice of you to share. I was looking online today so I’ll check this product out. Really need a microphone for filming on iPad. Loved your lake/pond backdrop, but you were one I thought twice when you were attacked by misquotes! Louisa
@leihali enjoyed the slow smooth sound of your entry and @andrew comment was a lesson for all of us!
@rockclasser welcome to the community. I love the young people that join. Sad to hear you lost your first Ukulele, hopefully someone is playing it but you have a lovely new one and well played!
@maryjanew your last post is SO relatable. I get frustrated in all my recordings but we stick with it. On the July☺️👏👍Well done everyone. Sorry not to comment on more. You Rock
@andrew thank you, I completely agree!
Look forward to July.@abster you are just amazing. Would love to be in the car/train where ever you are travelling, and listen to you play. You have such a bright future. Sure enjoy seeing your posts!
@the_Bumble_bard – quick note to say I love your entry and googlie eye-tap. very cleaver to try. As everyone has posted, you should trust your hands and believe that you CAN strum and play. Very nice!
@gi_gi_ really enjoyed your Summertime. Everyone that played that has a great groove and feeling to it. I think I will have to try learning. Lots of quick chord changes I can see.I love that so many tried to add a background like beautiful @grannieannie in the woods. So calming. But then others talked about the mosquitos, lack of light (ha! @maryjanew – made me laugh with the fast speed and then your final take.) Well done.
I really wanted to record mine by the water or outside but all opportunities just didn’t materialize.
I can’t comment on everyone – sure are some amazing musicians in this community .
Thanks @Andrew for some many great challenges. I believe this was my 43rd straight entry!Looking forward to the 100th challenge Next month!!!!! Louisa
I AM PREMIUM MEMBER
My (2) submission. I chose In the Summertime. Love Mungo Jerry’s 1970 video. Makes you want to dance. I played on my concert and then my 100 yr old Bacon banjo Ukulele. I can chuck better on BUke for some reason. Just fun to play. Certainly not the most polished takes but had to get in. Busy summer… so many amazing entries. I want to comment on some at a Later post. Louisa@alojzy_bomba well done and @misterbones love it.
Going to be some stellar entries this month@anyon1 nice playing. Love your “chuck”. So crisp and works great in song 👏👏👏
@the_bumble_bard i think we have filled the first page of this thread! Agree, i use my computer less these days so my iPad is a one finger plunk plunk….
You should keep a journal. You have a great imagination and thought process. Okay…. Signing out 🤪😆Well you made me laugh. I actually get it too!
I try to guess what next challenge will be, but OFTEN way off. I’ll put my requests in to you… we can focus together. Only difference is your genre is younger than mine 😁 still crazy you get it in few days.
Btw, I struggle with the chuck. It actually “scares” me. Not really but I don’t commit to it. IN the Summertime has Lots of Chucking. So we shall see. Thinking I might try to do the Andrew style chuck, which is a slap.
Hope your days are feeling less stressed with your loss. Practice more keep you happy 🎶🤗🌄
