   Kudos to the ever estimable David Beckingham, Al.

   But, let us never forget that the only reason “Tiptoe…” is a ukulele standard, much less an ‘ukulele classic is entirely down to the efforts of Teensy Timmy.

   So, restore, to be sure.

   But, “…Tulips” would be just another song covered by the occasional ‘uke player if not for
   TT.

   A good point well made, Ron.

   I feel I should set out on a search for similar such gems that Mr Tim didn’t uncover (or cover) and, er, recover them.

   Could you please enlighten the musically challenged…
   On the tab sheet…please, what does the “X” stand for?

   Thanks,
   Laura

   Hi Laura, The x means that the strings are dampened with the fretting fingers so you don’t get pure tones, but a dull chunk – to keep the rhythm going. David.

   Yes, Mr. Beckingham. Please do consider arrangements for virtually anything from the 1920s. Tin Pan Alley was in high gear and the songs are so well crafted and beautiful. I’ve been working on Blue Skies for my baritone uke, and on You’re The Cream In My Coffee. But any song sung by Annette Hanshaw, for example, would top my list of songs to be learned. And thanks for doing Tiptoe. It has been on my list of songs to excavate.
