Rattlin Bog has been a current favorite. And Do Wa Ditty, Dum Ditty Do. Do you have any other suggestions. Please, not You Are My Sunshine. We need some fresh, easy to catch on tunes. |

Hal Leonard has a Facebook called "The Daily Ukulele," with lyrics, melody notation, and uke chords for 365 songs. It was a great success, so then they came out with a "Leap Year Edition, with...366 (!) additional songs. Both are great collections. I'd like to hear a uke band do "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Joe |

23 Feb 20 - 06:02 PM (#4035741) Subject: RE: Lively singalong songs From: Tattie Bogle Depends a bit where you're from, and therefore what songs they might know. A little group I played with used to do songs from the late 50s, early 60s playing for senior citizens in their 70s/80s- Buddy Holly, Elvis, Lonnie Donegan, Beach Boys, Beatles, etc, all went down well, and they knew the words better than us! But being in Scotland, we would play a few of the Scottish old standards - Westering Home, Skye Boat Song, Mairi's Wedding, etc. And by the way: they LOVE "You are my Sunshine"!! What's wrong with it? I used to cry crocodile tears in the sad verse, and make them laugh! |
