Ukefest 2015!

Since we already have the "dates" for Crabfest 2015 (or at least the jetty is just about full for that particular weekend a year from now, haha) I figured we better get a thread going in anticipation of our annual ukulele jam!

Early, I know - but this gives us plenty of time to practice in time for the big event 

Attached is a file I created/scanned that has a little bit of everything...things I have collected from various classes. It includes tips for players, chord charts, tuning info, and a few songs we figured might be easy to start with. Perhaps if we give this group of songs a shot and maybe have a few jam practices with these in mind, we will have a good set of tunes ready to go.

Take a look and if you find some other good ones, post 'em.
Hey Rey - have any others you want to add?

Here's the link to our other thread which includes more music files: http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=48861.0

Cherie/Ukers,
I was sad I couldn't make this year's Crab/Uke Fest.
Maybe we could get some jam sessions going and work up some tunes.
Got a ton of music I could share.
I really hope to make it to next year's Crab/Uke Fest!

Would love too! Lets look at some dates and see what we can do. Aren't you in the Sac area?

Was hoping to see you Tony, I had some new "goodies" for you to try.  Let's get together and fish one of these weekends.

So excited!

"End Of The Line" By the Travelling Wilburys


Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
 Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
 Well it's all right, doing the best you can
 Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand

 You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring (End of the Line)
 Waiting for someone to tell you everything (End of the Line)
 Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring (End of the Line)
 Maybe a diamond ring

 Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
 Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
 Well it's all right, As long as you got somewhere to lay
 Well it's all right, everyday is Judgment Day

 Maybe somewhere down the road aways (End of the Line)
 You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days (End of the Line)
 Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays (End of the Line)
 Purple haze

 Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
 Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
 Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
 Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

 Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive (End of the Line)
 I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive (End of the Line)
 It don't matter if you're by my side (End of the Line)
 I'm satisfied

 Well it's all right, even if you're old and gray
 Well it's all right, you still got something to say
 Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
 Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive

 Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
 Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
 Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
 Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line 

Thx Cherie, Imma practice this one for the next time we play together!

I've got a few beatles songs for guitar or uke.  I'll make a pdf soon and post it.  I even have backing tracks to go along with it on the same key.

Good find Cherie!  His version actually sounds right, unlike a lot if others.

a few more for you to learn

Those are great Luis!
But a bit tough, LOL. 

I can play those cords, and I like the song.  But I can't sing, so  I will strum and hum.
