I meant to put this on my personal blog, but in my haste accidentally put it here. To avoid confusion about disappearing posts that are no longer available, I decided to leave it up. You are welcome.
To celebrate all things ukulele and acoustic music in general, I invited a bunch of people over to my house Saturday evening for an acoustic night. What I thought it would be and what it ended up being were two different things, but it turned out 10 times more fun and awesome than I could have anticipated. Instead of going around in a circle and people playing one song at a time, we hooked up the laptop to the TV and surfed the internet for chords for songs, then played along as we all sang. Lisa Loeb, Dixie Chicks, Weezer, The Darkness, whatever came to mind. It was kinda like play-it-yourself karaoke. Then we proceeded to create our own songs about Nachos, Nacho (a different kind), Ikea, and various ladies in the room. One of the best parts = We recorded the silly songs we made up. Wanna listen?
