And the ukulele song winner is…

Me! (Yes, Me – Jannie!)

Please don’t hate me (remember I have to suffer the perming-of-the-bangs every 3 months to keep from looking like something from Planet Gorpio,)  but… inspired by your creative energies, I stumbled upon my very own ukulele song idea and ran with it.

You guys shared some really really cool ideas for ukulele songs and I THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. The following Four Funstering Friends even went so far as to come up with entire song lyrics for this fest…  Feel Free To Read – Glenn,   Feel Free To Laugh – Doug Palmer (Lane Savant,)   Exit Stage Right – Snaggletooth and Ink Marks On A Blank Page – Robbi.  Robbi and Glenn actually submitted TWO whole songs!  Plus Jung’s Programme Notes – Miles and Deeper Issues – Dot  offered complete verses. 

But out of the big blue sky fell an idea I hope will work.  I’m still honing the second verse but I’ll post the lyrics very soon — maybe as early as Friday.  And I may even re-solicit your songwriting charms, as I’m not sure yet about the bridge.  

The finished song will of course, be lovingly show-cased on YouTube sometime.  Yep, with me singing it.  (Help us all, Lord.)

Anybody got a $20.00 good used uke for sale, non-plastic?   I can pay up to $9.95 for S & H.

Like a bord on a wire, 3 — Funny Typos

1.  Do you get any rabbids in your flower patch?

2.   I’m typing with my left hand while drying my hair with mr right.

3.  I love reading your blob too!

4.  I found you via your poetry tag on Blooger.

5.  Life so fat has treated me pretty good.

6.  I just can’t get that kid to stop whaling.

7.  Do you have a god recipe for those?

8.  So mice to see you back here, Sweetie.

9.  I’m not a fan of crushing thongs of people either.

10.  It’s late  —  off to bad I go.

Here is the entire series thus far, in case you are interested. 🙂

Ukulele Me!

I wanna write a funny song about a ukulele!  A song that either asks or answers a burning question or is a cautionary tale — a.k.a. some raging motivation has to make me burst forth singing about a ukulele in the first place.

I already have an image or two in mind and tons of melodies to choose from.  What I really need is YOUR help, by way of a wafer of lyric or plot to jumpstart me.   And if one of your ideas sparks me and I use it, even if it’s only one line – you and I will share the songwriting credit 50/50.  Or, if I combine ideas from more than one of you, we’ll all split things evenly, as is common songwriting practice.

So bring it on, Funster Friends!  Ukulele me!!!  No idea too silly or seemingly inconsequential to be considered.

I won’t be posting again until  Monday, January 19th at 7:16 a.m. (Texas Time,) to give this brainstorm adventure top billing here on my humble site, so be sure to get your ideas in by then.  Feel free to comment as many times as your brain desires!

THANKS!!

Job Ap Essay

 “The Sister” And “The Niece,” couple years or so ago.

Notes to self

— just because instead of spending $1.87 a day at Starbucks, I’m now home-brewing a can of ground Columbian which supposedly will yield 724 cups, it doesn’t mean I can up my usual 1 coffee a day to 3 (as I did today, naughty Jannie!)

— dittoes on that gallon bottle of cheap (but oh so tasty,) French “table wine” I snagged for $8.99.

— there IS quite a noticeable difference between a dark navy and a black sock, as many strangers must’ve witnessed on my feet at that recent please-take-your shoes-off-we-just-got-new-carpet party.

— just because Susan Dell goes all day without sitting, including when she’s at her computer, doesn’t mean the rest of us are living meaningless lives if we don’t.  (Does it?)

—  give my sister (sunshine lady pictured above with nephew, Austin,) the password for my WordPress login in case I kick the bucket, so my blog buds will know I’m up drinking beer with the angels.   (Not that I’m planning on “going” anywhere soon but one has to consider these things.)
