Evil Ukulele CD
Click Here To Buy It
Around the time I discovered ukulele, I was teaching at a 'guitar camp'. Every day I played the lessons on ukulele and exhorted the young guitarists to abandon six strings in favor of four.
My friend Mare Wakefield and her songwriting class responded by writing an epic tale in four verses called EVIL UKULELE. It is a classic, a four string gotterdammerung.
Along with it are 13 other pieces, mostly new stuff and some elaborate remixes of some of my old favorites. It's a musical fruitcake of multi-stringed pandemonium.
These are the songs on the CD.
There are samples below...

The famous Monty Norman score. This is a lot more elaborate than the one on the ukulele page.

I've said it before, good song, bad movie. You know... I really liked Roger Moore as 'the saint', so I was glad when he was chosen to replace Sean Connery. But he just couldn't do it. My wife thinks otherwise though.

I have gone to the Northwest Djangofest on Whidbey Island the last two years. You must cross over on the ferry at Mukilteo and I thought that name would sound good in a song title.

Debbie D'Bongo heard this and said, 'Where the hell did you get that?'
It's a Bob Wills song by the way.
