It was another well-attended session today so just two songs from me, both on ukulele. Firstly, I did a version of the piece I duetted on with my friend, Katie, at last week’s concert: Dance Me to the End of Love. I pushed this one from F minor to G minor both for chords which were more resonant on the ukulele and to get the vocal range where I could project better.

I was in pole position so started both halves of the gathering but, just before the break, Carolyn had read a poem inspired by the space mission Artemis that is currently underway so I decided to go with Rocket Man as my second piece. I’m currently reading Bernie Taupin’s autobiography (he wrote the words and Elton John wrote the music) and it is one of those tomes that makes me glad I never became a rock star… but this is another fantastic song.
