Imua Garza, David Wax Museum: UkeTube

YouTube must be having some serious problems lately. I’ve seen all sorts of loading errors, my latest video took hours to publish and all my subscriptions disappeared. So my apologies if I’ve missed anything earth-shattering.

Nevertheless, there’s menagerie of videos this week including songs about narwhals and unicorns, blackbirds and dik-diks.

One that isn’t in today’s selection but has some curiosity value is Marina and the Diamonds singing the praises of porn on the ukulele. It’s not safe for work. Neither is the dik-dik song really but you probably figured that out.

Imua Garza – Uke Solo

Matt Griffo – One Love (May Be Different From Yours)

Jennifer Teeter – Dik-Dik

The David Wax Museum – The Persimmon Tree

Ben Mealer – If I Had You

JenerallyxSpeaking – Doo Da Doo

Hello Jodi – Bye Bye Blackbird

Rachel Pearl – I’ve Got Your Number

Pete Kennedy – Rhapsody in Blue

The Staves – Facing West

    I’ve Got Your Number (Oh don’t loose it!) & ‘Facing West’ are my choise of the week!

    I haven’t checked out JenerallyxSpeaking’s channel yet, but I hope she has skillions of subscribers because she’s funny! I liked it.

    The Pete Kennedy vid confused me at first. It was enjoyable, despite the fact that he’s simply treating the uke like a little guitar.

    Always happy to listen to Hello Jodi.

    The David Wax Museum rocked. Makes me want to get together with my friend (and fellow busker) T-Bone and have him break out his mando.

    Jennifer Teeter is another one who should have skillions of subscribers.

    I’d for sure go out and see Rachel Pearl (and her friends) if they ever come through Seattle.

    Imua Garza not only shredded like a monster but obviously also has a sense of humor. And I wish I had such a lovely mike stand.

    But Matt Griffo takes the prize. Cute song and great vid.

    OMG, I’m famous!!! Thanks Al (and HH, for the nice compliment).

    I’m so glad you found Benny! He is just swell, I think. The perfect combination of polished and disarming.

    I find the best people through you: just love Rachael Pearl. And Matt Griffo – subscribed to both.

    Herman: Good choices.

    CharlesHugh: F# B F# C# should get you started.

    Hobbit: I think Matt Griffo takes it for me this week as well.

    Jodi: You were born famous. Is the ‘Jen’ you did the video for the sexy one covered in tattoos?

    One Love is getting my love.

    Always happy to watch Ben Mealer too.

    Woodshed: yes, Jen is the sexy tattoo girl. We just hired a new singer last night, but we still all miss Jen like crazy.

  8. Woodshed July 21st, 2010 7:59 pm

    Shobs: Glad you enjoyed.

    Jodi: Just so long as the replacement is sexy.

    Love The Staves so much seen them live they are amazing. Any idea with what the Uke chords are for the song anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Rob: Not entirely sure what’s going on. But she’s either tuned down half a step or using a capo.

    I’d go capo first fret Eb and Gm

    Then Fm Bb
