Performance without Anxiety
Performance without Anxiety
Jayelle gave me a ukulele for an early birthday present, and although I play other instruments, there's just something about this one that makes me want to make silly videos of myself.
So. I'm going to post videos of myself playing the ukulele, and I will take requests of what to play next. Hopefully I'll get better, and we'll all have fun.
Also, I know I'm not the only musician on the board, some of you are much better than I am, so if you want to join in with your own performance, please do.
Here's my first one. Apologies for poor video and sound quality, but I can only work with what I have.

I play other instruments
I don't remember what this would include, if you've said on the board before, so remind me, please?
As for requests, I loved the version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow I heard on ukulele; always up for that again.
Also, any attempts at this, but maybe a leeeetle longer would be seriously cool.

That song is, like, 90% of the reason I got him the ukulele in the first place.

Is it blasphemous of me to say I like it better than the Judy Garland version, which I also really love?That song is, like, 90% of the reason I got him the ukulele in the first place.

It only took about half an hour to learn the ukulele part, and of course I already knew the singing part. But putting them together took a few hours of practicing, spread over several days. It's a surprisingly difficult song to sing, and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was a really amazing singer, so I had to just accept the fact that I'm never going to sound as good as him.How long did it take you to learn it? By ear or sheet music? Did you know you are awesome?
I didn't use sheet music or learn it entirely by ear. I just googled "Somewhere over the rainbow chords" and played the chords that came up.
Yes I know I am awesome.

I'm working on a Beatles song for you Mich -- unsurprisingly Beatles songs are usually harder than they look.
In the mean time, here's one nobody requested:

My Grandpa celebrated his 97th birthday on sunday. We formed a Cousin Choir to surprise him, grandma and all of our parents in their Sacrament Meeting (our main church meeting). Afterward, we went and recorded it. Here it is:

She didn't actually say it on the board, but this was requested by Jayelle.

Seconded. I think if my family tried this it would sound...significantly less lovely.What a talented group of people, Steph. You all sound lovely.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

As requested by Mich: Beatles songs.
Because it took me so long, I made two videos. The first one is the one I originally wanted to do, and is my favourite Beatles song. The second one is another Beatles song that I suddenly realized was WAY easier to play. So you get both.
