Baby Face (with verses) Ukulele UkesterBrown
My friend Guy wanted me to cover this song. It was written by Benny Davis and Harry Akst in 1926. It is a very familiar chorus and I include the two verses. It is also an easy song to play, but I have my share of problems with it tonight.... I have out takes at the end. Free practice Sheet at www.ukesterbrown.com
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (with intro verse) Ukulele UkesterBrown
Most people now know this song because George Harrison covered it. It was written in 1931 by Ted Koehler and Harold Arlen and there is an intro verse most of us have never heard. I include it in this version. For another version listen to Lee Wiley sing it: www.youtube.com There is a free practice sheet at www.ukesterbrown.com

The Rural Purge Sonny Daze TV Challenge Ukulele UkesterBrown
Beginning in 1970 and into 1971 CBS (then followed by ABC) canceled quite popular shows in order to attract a younger demographic and generate more advertising income.

On The Sunny Side Of The Street (with verse) Ukulele UkesterBrown
We've all played this song right? Well, how about the opening verse? The song was written by Dorothy Fields and Jimmy mchugh in 1930. This is a quick one time through take. It also proves I have a head- maybe I should have worn my cap. Kind of a special request to ukulele cosmos. Practice Sheet at www.ukesterbrown.com

Appalachian Melody Ukulele UkesterBrown
Mark Heard wrote this song in 1979 and he passed away in August 1992 at the age of 40. He was a true musical poet in the 1970's. I have loved this song ever since I first heard it; I hope I do it justice. I simply finger picked strings 1, 2 and 3, trying to keep it simple. I tried playing this song many other ways including multi tracks and it just didn't sound right to me. The video is from my Mac off the roof of my car in Sakatah Lake State Park near Waterville, Minnesota. In the Lakota ...

Blue Skies (with verses) Ukulele UkesterBrown
Of Course the wonderful Irving Berlin wrote this song, but did you know that he actually wrote it last minute for the musical, "Betsy" in 1926 and it was published in 1927. Oh yeah- there are two verses too! My wife bought the shirt for me off of the net. I don't remember if it was cafe press or another place.
