    I love the fact that everyone is playing different things. I’ve been gone so I just started this. I love the medley. It still needs a little polishing but here it is – Norweigan Wood:

    Time really creeped up on me this month. Melody A is certainly better than B… And I realized that I cut off the neck once I was done and it was uploaded… Sorry.

    I have retired and moved to TN and (talk about the blind leading the blind) started a ukulele club (although to be fair, I can strum way better than playing instrumental pieces). We have 30 members (though about 12 regularly show up) and a few of us are going to perform some Xmas music at the beginning of an upcoming event — it will be my first time playing live in front of an audience (gulp!).

    One finger Etude for June, 2023

    Lots of firsts here… I’m on the road so this was done on an iPad with iMovie in one take. LOL – I’m not sure the recording isn’t better than using a computer with a mic.

    It’s time to pack up my computer before the movers come so I recorded today… normally I would have practiced more. I don’t think I’ve ever posted first!

    Hi @riffyk !

    If your file is saved in your YouTube account, you change it to “unlisted” (or “public”, not “private”). You should have a shareable link. I find this in my private YouTube channel page.

    In your post here, you don’t upload the video.

    Just type what you want to say.

    Then in a separate line, paste in the link

    If you want, you can type more after the link.

    In the box here, you’ll see the link. When you hit submit, your link will be replaced with picture/icon of your YouTube file (like most of the posts here).

    Hope this helps! Jerry

    Big month here – lots of work cleaning and packing – we move from Ohio to Tennessee in under 3 weeks…I have learned how to strum Rocky Top on the uke in preparation.

    Here’s the entry for this month. I only had time to do one take so here it is, warts and all.

    I made a donation to the uke kids club.

    I’m mostly a ukulele strummer (sort of guitar substitute) and I love RC101 for getting me to read music and try all sorts of things. You do a great job.

    I’m leaving on a “working” vacation shortly so I chose Chopsticks so I’d have time. So here’s what I have and happy holidays to all.

    The story I remember about Zelda (20+ years ago) is that we had recently moved to the area with our 18 month old daughter. We hired a 12 year-old neighbor boy to watch her for a few hours while my wife and I went out to dinner. He saw we had an unhooked up Nintendo set and he asked if I would like him to wire it up for me. When we came home, our daughter was happily “playing” on an unplugged controller and the boy had the highest score that I had ever seen with my daughter’s name next to it…

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    Each was a challenge in its own way…

    Happy Halloween!

    One take! I think this is a record. Still smoothing things out now that it is memorized. I like the Dust in the Wind vibe… maybe this should be a song suggestion.

    Hi

    Leaving at the end of the month so recorded today. Stairway was a bit much and I didn’t want to sing so did Aura Lee. After playing as written for the entry I found a different version and transposed it to F and moved it partially up the neck for a 2nd verse…
