Benefits of being fully vaxxed include not only the honor of making music with my buddy Brennen Leigh but also getting to spend time together. “Tonight’s gonna be an early night,” we said each day until 1am. So magical to still get those sleepover vibes in our 30s. Also! So special to have my first “post-pandemic” jamming… Continue reading When My Little Pomeranian Met Your Little Pekingese (1933) — ukulele bohemian fancy lady cover

When read this song title I hear Céline Dion’s voice in my head. Unfortunately or otherwise I did not sing that song today, rather I chose Irving Berlin’s 1921 tune which was swung so swingingly by Ella Fitzgerald in 1958. I dedicate this performance to the memory of Ella, who singing has shaped so much… Continue reading All By Myself — Irving Berlin, 1921

I am just so giddy to share this today. Like many of us uke enthusiasts all over the world, I have loved Ukulelezaza for years. I have spent so many hours watching and rewatching his videos online in order to learn his beautiful arrangements of old jazz tunes — and now our pixels and sound… Continue reading Ooh look who I get to share pixels with

I love Yuming. All of the Japanese songs I have learned (there are three) are from Studio Ghibli movies and all of them were written and performed by Yumi Arai/Matsutoya. She is such an inspiring songwriter with an amazing career and body of work. This tune is one of my favorites ? I already recorded… Continue reading One of the best songs from Kiki’s Delivery Service {Studio Ghibli}

Laisse Tomber les Filles. Hope you enjoy this French song. I love France Gall—her voice is so cool—and sort of inadvertently did my best impression of her 1960s teenager voice.

This performance is based on Guido Heistek’s arrangement that I found on Youtube a few years back. If you want tabs, please head on over to my Patreon ((( http://www.patreon.com/sageharrington ))) where you can access all the tabs I have ever shared which to be honest is just under a handful at this point, but… Continue reading Ain’t Misbehavin’ – Fats Waller tune for solo uke

Moon River – that beautiful song sung by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Written by Henry Mancini. Apparently this song almost didn’t make it into the movie! Played on my old Regal tenor guitar, this instrument makes me work real hard. I recorded this for my aunt Mary who is retiring. Wish I could… Continue reading Moon River – Audrey Hepburn cover on tenor guitar

What is happening in my country right now is so intense. I am not quite sure what to say, just that a friend of mine put it really well when she said that incidents of white racist violence cannot be compared to acts of Black protest. I’ve been listening to the House impeachment hearings most… Continue reading Always – Irving Berlin tune on ukulele
