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.
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.

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!!
