    Well, I’m waiting for AFP to give her “Poem For Dzhokhar” a ukulele accompaniment, Al. Then I’ll throw a bit of something in her direction.

    Thank you kindly for including my song! It’s awesome that you’re telling folks about Culture Freedom Day and Creative Commons. As a big CC enthusiast, I appreciate it. I’m looking forward to listening to all these CC ukers and sharing the mixtape!

    You are great. Thank you for being such a generous curator.

    Crazy- I just discovered the I Can’t Dance song last week. Anybody have a nice set of uke chords for that one?

    Kara: Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.

    tamson: You’re too kind!

    Sam: I do like that tune so I might well work it out.

    Uke Llama: That’s fantastic!

    Al,

    thanks much for helping me break into the Peruvian market!

    but srsly… it’s amazing what one misses when one lags behind the social media curve. I’m still catching up on older posts than this!

    I had no idea today was culture freedom day.

    Hobbit: Have fun on the Peruvian tour!

    Elmarkus: Glad you liked it.

    Fabulous selection, with some new ones for me. Your uke detectors must be mighty powerful – I suspect I would have missed the uke on the lovely Wisdom Tooth track. And Kara Square’s “A heart with your name on it” is my new best ear worm!

  11. Woodshed May 29th, 2013 9:11 am

    Mark: Glad to hear it!

    Been a fan of Howlin Hobbit for ages. I have a couple of uke songs recorded (but not professionally) that might interest.

    Been playing for years but have to work my own chord arrangements out by ear.

    Hugs, smiffy

  13. Howlin' Hobbit June 5th, 2013 4:16 pm

    Ian – you don’t have to work out the chord arrangements for (most of) my tunes. you can download them from my site.

    thanks much for your kind words!
