Tigljk .......... thanks, we did well busking $$$ wise but still going to busk a bit more to reach our target so we can buy ukuleles for kids in schools. Considering we were busking in amongst busy traffic and LOTS of buses, we didnt to do bad in the circumstances ![]()
Grah1 .........thanks and in answer to your question ........... probably a very LONG WAY off .......... we still have a lot of improvement to do yet ........... You will have to make to listening to the British Ukulele Orchestra

dino48 ............... thanks ......... you must have been quick to see it ![]()
Peatle Jville ...................... haha yep you heard right, no doubt easybeat had sent you the video link
I think most of the people passing by enjoyed it
Lastly, thanks to easybeat who came along and videoed us performing whilst busking. I did ask easybeat to take it down though as we hadn`t asked the girls/ladies permission to put it up on here and thought i should check with them first ![]()

unclejoesband ............. lol, nope you didn`t, it`s great you joined in and chose a song ![]()
Tigljk ............ glad you entered heaps of song suggestions , it makes it more interesting having lots of song choices. Explanation of why it was chosen 'from the hat' instead of a 'vote' I explained further up the top of this thread
Regardless of if it had been a vote or pulled out of the hat, either way, one of your songs still could have got chosen (Vote or Hat) which means your song would still have been picked
Baldguitardude, Zurf, easybeat, thanks for the feedback ![]()
Anyone else like to make suggestions, here is your chance ![]()

Re: Suggestions: October 2016 Featured Song of the Month (50 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Baldguitardude and dino48 ........ in answer to you both regarding taking a vote this month. Initially we were going to vote and also take into account any votes from the members .... however, it was decided since unclejoesband had entered a suggestion and mekidsdad had entered a suggestion (which is great
that it would be wiser to pick 2 songs out of the hat, that way it was fair on everyone
Dont`t worry dino48, the rabbit is out dinning on parsley ![]()
