as it was recorded with the aid of a few beers.

Keepitreal, haha funny , I can almost visualize Mrs Mop too. I think this would be great on the ukulele. I know you have done it on guitar which I am sure will be great too .... where can I listen to it?

Bill, have been reading through this whole thread today, thinking of you both and got you both in my prayers. In New Zealand there is a Maori saying "Kia Kaha" which means Stay Strong.

Hi Bill and Dondra, here is my attempt at Bill`s song. Love the words to your song Bill, I know the ukulele doesn't do as much justice to it as a guitar but I am not the best guitar player at the best of times. Sorry for the late attempt, have just been so busy myself lately.

Phill, a very moving song, you sing it so well (as you do with all your songs). After visiting 2 big exhibitions here in Wellington NZ this weekend about the ANZACs, a timely song with the words and meaning.

Re: size matters (ukes) (2 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Hi pondscummer, I play the ukulele, I play amongst my collection sopranos, concert and banjolele, my next buy will be a tenor. Aiming in particular for a 6 string tenor, beautiful sound. With regards to baritone, although they are good, the tenor to me is nicer. I play in a large and small group situation quite often with a person who has a baritone and it can be overpowering, particularly if the person playing it is right beside you or behind you. Also may be a bit harder if you have arthritis as it does have a wider fret board. Having said that, I play with people who play guitars and they don't seem as over powering as the baritone to me ..... So not sure what it is about the baritone but it is particularly loud.
