This week's #SundaySong doesn't sound exactly how I would have liked, but the point isn't to be perfect, the point is to be brave and put things out there. This is "Hospital" by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, performed on a distorted #UBass with some digital mellotron added in.
From 1973, one of those songs that just evokes a specific time and place for me. This is Jim Croce's "One Less Set of Footsteps."

Haven't done a Sunday Song in a while, but here's one to close out the year: The Raconteurs' "You Don't Understand Me," rendered on #ElectricUke through an amp modeler pedal.

Okay, it's no longer Sunday, but I forgot to post my #SundaySong, so here it is – a lowkey acoustic version of The Only Ones' "Another Girl, Another Planet." Have always loved this song but never thought it could work on a #uke until hearing an acoustic version in the movie "London Town" – which is also highly recommended.

I get very little traction for these performances on Mastodon, but I post them anyway, just because I need to keep putting myself out there. Here's a piano cover of Dan Hicks's "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away."
Another cover almost no one will know but that has stuck with me for decades—Jane Wiedlin’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” Still learning how to sing this one but liked this enough to share it anyway.

This week's #SundaySong is Amanda Palmer’s “Ukulele Anthem,” one of the songs that reignited my interest in the #ukulele. It’s fun to sing but I can’t get quite relaxed with it. It’s rough, there are mistakes, etc., and that’s why I need to just put these takes out there. Play your ukulele!

For my #SundaySong this week, I did a quick cover of Hooverphonic's "Gravity," with just #ukulele and #kalaubass. Bit of work in #AbletonLive too.
