My son helped me create this site as a way to share my guitar and ukelele music.
| I Should Have Known Better | Old Beatles’ tunes are my favourite fall back – lively, fun, just hard enough for me. |
| California Dreamin’ | A quintessential 60s song. Not sure if that means there are 5 essential things and this song is one, but it is fun to play. |
| Every Day | From 1957, super high energy from Buddy with only a steel string guitar, drums, and stand up bass. |
| What a Wonderful World | A really forward looking song that is from 1967. Maybe the first time the colours of folks’ faces were compared to a rainbow. |
| Norwegian Wood | The uke is supposed to be a sitar but I hope it is OK anyway. I thought the girl could have been more friendly than just offering up the bathtub. |
| I Only Want to Be With You | Originally written and performed by the Foundations in 1967, also covered by the Bay City Rollers (if anyone recalls them), and Allison Kraus. I think multiple covers are a testament to the quality of a song. |
| Forever Young | A great song, elicits lots of feelings while it could be talking about anyone of any age. |
| Baby Now That I Found You | Alway liked Allison, she has a voice like an angel – me, not so much. |
| Breaking Up | Sedaka’s career was tapped out after he put this song out in 1962 until he put out a newer version of the same song in 1976. Both did well on the Billboard charts – I can’t even say what version I sing, it is just the song as I remember it. |
| Fly Me to the Moon | Reminds me of “to the Moon Alice” from All in the Family, but this is the opposite – a nice, swinging love song. |
| What Becomes of the Broken Hearted | I really like this song and hope I did it some justice. The change up from the key of C to D is really nice. |
| Father and Son | My dear friend Norm Milan (link goes to his music site on Reverbnation) taught me this song and a number of others when we used to jam together in Calgary in the 70s. We still do it as a duet when we get together, which is way easier than trying to do both voices as I do here. The root of my love of music grew from those times – Thanks Norm! |
