The inspiration for the tune came from a trad African Mbira tune. Maybe the Femmes went to the same source. Thanks for the link - I checked them out. Excellent.
I would love to share an afternoon on your veranda!!! Keep it up guys, this is what Youtube is good at........ family entertainment and sharing a smile. Take care. Love and peace.
I've tried following your pieces on mandolin, but it just doesn't sound as good, so with you as an inspiration, I've now bought a Mele pineapple so I can keep up!
i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this tune!
i'M SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pleased you do.
Ah have listened and listened and love it!! Love all your tunes but this little arrangement in particular lifts my heart :) How did you make the Buzz Bottle Top Ukulele?? :))
Hi Coveywood - I've just listened to several of your you tube songs - great - your strength is in the arranging - starting simple and building up - it seems simple, but it works! I love it!
COVEYWOOD im only a beguiner but i love mussic so much i hope play music whit you some day the music is so so beautyfull so amazeing so incredible i dont know wrods for decrive the music is only fantastic
This is wholefood music, keeps you balanced, is for pleasure not for celebrity, keeps your heart and soul together. I hope too we get to play music. And keep with the backflips, OK?!
Part of me gets really sad when I hear some music I really like gets used in a commercial, like something really beautiful & powerful gets spoiled & weakened by being reduced down to a "brand"...
But it's a way for musicians to make some good money & get exposure I guess!
Piers strikes me as the principled sort, so I'd guess/hope organic smoothie or west country cider ad rather than huge corporation's carbonated sugar drink!
this just like dejavu and i miss your place sir :)
