Between my chainsaw accident and then the session in the middle of June being cancelled, it seems like a long time since I’ve made it to one. Today I took the ukulele and contributed a few songs.

First off, I went for Wayfaring Stranger, in D minor. Others have sometimes done it but a key that forces me to sing too high or low for my comfortable range so I thought I’d get in first where it suits my voice. On my next go, I had been contemplating Watch What You’re Doing by Larry Norman (one of the songs that comes to mind in connection with chainsaws!) but, although I figured out the chords this morning, I wasn’t quite ready to unleash it. Instead I did the medley of Ain’t She Sweet / Five Foot Two / Yes Sir, That’s My Baby which is ideal on the ukulele. When it came round to me again, I ran with You Can Do One Ron (my rewrite of Da Doo Ron Ron) and, for a short one at the end, Bring Me Sunshine.

We don’t really need much more sunshine at the moment but it is another one suited to the instrument!
