Saturday Night's Allright For Uke Cover Fighting

There'sNoUke
LikeCoverUkeVille










First, the original, at least to us, by Mic Christopher and Glen Hansard....



And now, the cover, just, because...Well, I feel like it...



Talked to E. last night on the skype-mobile... She broke her 'A' string and had to use somebody else's box in the Montreal Metro yesterday...She was going to fix it today....And no, there is no sound-fiddling on our version of 'I Bid You Goodnight' shown above...the microphone on the camera went a little goofy because of the passing planes, but the notes really were hit by that voice...

Mr. Hansard and friends are coming to town Tuesday night.... Littler e. and I will be there....Unfortunately, Mr. Christopher will not....At least not in body...

As always,  thanks to Los Angeles photo-maven extraordinaire Ellen Bloom (and her brother Ken!) for the Uke peg-head at the top of the post...
Want more of our busking tunes (almost all with uke)?...The loop runs....Here.

The tune is originally by The Incredible String Band

Thanks.

Ya, in the modern realm they were probably first...All kinds followed including Dead and ANeville, and even David Byrne.

But in searching around, and even finding sheet music, it looks to be a traditional spiritual.
