neophytte .... zurf pretty much answered your question smile and this month you could accept any challenge song that anyone put up smile

Zurf ..... great idea smile

neophytte ...... we have done era`s in the past but didn't quite finished them e.g. 1950`s  but we never did the actual year like you suggested e.g. 1957 , yes that`s a great idea too, thanks smile

Ok here is my attempt at ~Sundown~ one of Zurfs challenge songs.  Sorry Zurf, I didn't do any fancy chord G5/7 like you talked about and only recorded this quick so this one was my second attempt as I knew i was running out of time to record for this month.  Anyway, here it is https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/sundown

I did re re-cord Knock-in on Heavens Door Peatle too using the tamborine like Zurf did but then realized I had already done this song way back on guitar, so didn't upload it.

Peatle ................ thanks for the nice compliment by the way smile and I really do hope Maree plays the piano LOTS MORE smile

Hiya neophytte .....  welcome and great to see you joining it smile   Look forward to seeing what you come up with for the FSOM .... you can try to cover them the same as the original or make them your own .... whatever takes your fancy.

On that note, just went and watched your cover of "I had to say I love you" .... very nice ..... you covered it well, timing great, and you had a lovely soft voice with that particular song which suited it.  Well done smile

P.S. your braver than me, I haven`t been brave enough to put myself up on video.  I did one video of myself singing something quite a while back and thought nope, not doing that again lol

Hi neophytte, great to see you on board smile

Mojo01 .... NICE!  Another song I confess I hadn`t actually heard of before but now I do.  Nice cover once again, you just seems to nail them smile

Peatle .... I like how you make songs your own and one never knows what your going to do with it.  The piano was awesome, tell Maree she is a great pianist ..... how can she not play it more often? smile 
Regarding my broken leg and my journey, i am getting there, better each week.  I have progressed to being able to get up and down small steps now which means i can actually leave the house with out help! Yay!

Zurf.... haha I loved your commentary once again, it always makes me laugh.  And wouldn't we ALL love to have a piano player such as Maree or drums or other instruments playing along side us   *ahh to dream* .  Anyway, liked your cover and you are another good guitarist.

Anymore suggestions? we are heading into the last week of September before October hits us smile

I know there are more of you out there that could make some suggestions smile

Loved the guitar work on this one easybeat.  I know you like to flick them out real quick, ones offs etc but it would be really good to see you writing your lyrics down with chords so you can reproduce your music and or others could attempt to play them .... just a suggestion smile

JIm .... a great song, I like the meaning and emotion in it.   You are definitely a song writer, a very talented one at that! smile

Zurf ....  you have now introduced me to a new song, hadn`t heard of that one before.    Well done, liked how you performed it and as always, love your commentary on your covers smile 

Peatle ......  well you had a ukulele going on that one smile  So good to hear your take on this song as well. 

I will have to go online to listen to the original version of this song as never heard it before, comments left on sound cloud for you both smile

Thoughts and prayers are with all our Chordie friends through the hurricane.

Sorry to disappoint you Roger but this is what i meant by jandles or as the Aussies call them thongs wink
