Gina BlankWe interrupt your regularly scheduled photography for #PlayMusicOnThePorchDay!
Please join me in my happy place as I sing part of a choral piece that I absolutely fell in love with a couple years ago.

August 30, 2025
xapCathy McManamon is streaming a live concert from her Freeland, WA deck for the international Play Music on the Porch Day. She'll be playing favorites as well as new tunes from her upcoming album (to be released in October 2025), and _might_ even have a bit of a surprise ;) Tickets (including the ability to replay the concert for 48 hours after the event) can be purchased at https://cathymcmanamon.bandcamp.com/merch/play-music-on-the-porch-day-concert

Jeremy NickurakThe last of my #playmusicontheporchday recordings for this year: From the (not-nearly-as-provocative-as-their-name-suggests) band The New Pornographers, Adventures In Solitude. This one's been good practice for me gradually pulling more fingerpicking into my playing! This is also mostly a call-and-answer tune, so it was a little work covering both parts 😛
Balcony Ukulele Cover - Adventures in Solitude - The New Pornographers
The second of 3 tunes I recorded for this year's Play Music On The Porch Day. It's easily my you-get-one-band's-collection-to-listen-to-while-lost-on-a-desert-island band, They Might Be Giants.
This is my first take on Sometimes A Lonely Way. If you're interested in playing along on your uke, I'll throw my chord chart in the replies.

The first of a few #ukulele tunes I recorded for this year's Play Music On The Porch day!
This is the first take I'm sharing since I started to learn Blue Sunny Day by Jonathan Coulton.

Jon HancockFinding out about this rather lovely event at seven in the evening isn't ideal, but maybe next year…
One of a few covers I recorded for #PlayMusicOnThePorchDay this year. This is my take on @paulbellows@twitter.com' "Your Heart Will Taste Green" which I've always loved.
