I’ve ordered mine! Should deliver on Monday. I’ll spend the August challenge working with it. Thanks for sharing this product

@Andrew, it sounds like a well deserved break for you!
I look forward to picking another tune to work on. Maybe something slower paced. ☺️

@otzepeng and @gi_gi_ I just ordered the same mic. I’ll let you know. Btw the site i ordered on gave info on syncing and noise canceling. One click of button then two and three. I’m surebthere is a learning curve.
😄

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 entry

Look forward to yours @TBB, Rachel.

It has been a busy summer, hope to get an entry in.

@Andrew have a super vacation or “break”

[leb397]

@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.

[leb397]

@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.

[leb397]

@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

[leb397]

@alojzy_bomba well done and @misterbones love it.
Going to be some stellar entries this month
