We have the great privilege at the Berkeley Ukulele Club of having the extremely talented Steven Strauss as a senior member. Steven adds so much to the club. He has a blog, and in in one of his latest entries he shares a few videos. Some of you may not have seen a Risa Solid body ukulele before. Yep, 4 strings but a little different geometry you will see.
 
When you go to the page just CLICK ONCE on the triangle in the middle of the video or else it will go to YouTube and you will hear the song twice about 1 second apart.

I must say that I have seen Steven and parts of the Old Puppy twice live and they sound 10X better. But I hope you will enjoy these videos nonetheless.

This was sent to me from Pam in the Berkeley Ukulele Club. It is a cute song with ukulele chords and lyrics. Sorry Rush it isn\'t a McCain song... You can hear the song and find the lengthy lyrics at the bottom. Thanks PamE.
 
{This is for fun -- not to make a political statement here!}
 
On the Barack Obama site, a group calling itself "Ukes for Obama" have posted lyrics and mp3 for "Aloha Mama, We're Voting for Obama" are here:

UKES FOR OBAMA
We\'re ukulele players from New York and New Jersey who play once a week in Madison Square Park in Manhattan. We usually talk about current events between songs, and someone suggested we come up with a song about voting for Senator Obama. Thus was born Ukes for Obama! We thought, wouldn\'t it be great if we could create our own group and reach out to players and fans of ukulele music and also get people energized about the campaign? We invite other players from around the country to contribute their own content that gets people talking about the issues. We hope this group will be a hub for ukulele players who share our desire for a better America, and who want to create some music together in a fun and positive environment. Let us know if you are in the NYC area and are interested in participating in the v ideo shoot! Thanks for stopping by!

I was looking for ukulele tabs for the song Tico-Tico. Googled and found this site, \"liveukulele\". There are also a bit of good info for those still working on learning tabs
 
Most of what is here I have found on other sites. This looks to be a compilation.

Happy Holidays Uker Friends:
 
I found some good tablature for ukulele that I have posted and shared on my blog, http://humbleuker.blogspot.com/, but wanted to share with everybody in this e-mail.
 
Here is a 48 page booklet created by a German Ukulele Club member Wilfred Welti. It contains many songs in tablature form. The text is in German but there are many songs here. They are primarily classical but there are some traditional Tom Dooley, Scarborough Fair tunes as well.
Do not overlook these arrangements!

There is another generous spirit out there who has created some ukulele tablature. Below is the link to his site. Click on the labels on the right hand side and you will find many songs there.

I have also found some bluegrass tablature from Ken Middleton. He has posted many arrangements and although he\'s from the U.K. he has several blueglass arrangements, here\'s an example of his tab work. Check him out on YouTube for much more...

4)  Learn to play Fingerstyle Solos for Ukulele

I thought this got out to everyone but my mom said she didn\'t get it. My mom says I\'m terrific, so take a listen

 

Here\'s our song set...

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaQtxd9FYjk  Kansas City Blues (Robbie)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glPb2vTfiW8   Stray Cat Strut (El Jeffe\' aka Jeff)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGtEAH4whdA  Folsom Prison Blues (Sheila & Robbie)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlPEf6CUYTA  Are You Lonesome Tonight (Jay & Chuck)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMoGW9rRiSo  Hanalei Moon (Bob & Chuck)

 

Judy Plicka on bass and ukulele (Wearing a blue hat & blue suede shoes)

 

Pete (hidden) on drums

 

There is some lisping going on, we think the camera was fading, because it cut off Hanalei Moon and missed me singing Garota de Ipanema and the Sheila and I singing the Girl from Ipanema, and Judy\'s instrumental version of the Girl from Ipanema which was awesome! And Jay and Robbie ended our set with a version of Keb Mo\'s Tell Everybody I Know.
