Go 80s! Now We're Getting Somewhere

[kplazak]

Thank you -- that was just lovely!

[mctrmt]

Thanks very much.

[waterdog226]

You are sooo talented! I am working on Bb, and most of the other chords too. I am new to the uke. Maybe next year I will be brave and try a posting. I live in rural Ontario, have a satellite fed, low band-width, and you guys are my teachers! Thankyou.

[mctrmt]

Thanks, waterdog. Keep practicing! I know I learned quite a bit from Youtube and UU, too.

i heart Gm in C. is it a bitch in D? great cover

[josephhoh]

listened to the original--still prefer yours

[mctrmt]

Aw, shucks.

[benmealer]

when i play Fm in C tuning it always takes my pinky an extra second to catch up. i love Gm though. nice strum.

[mctrmt]

Yeah, Am is my pal.

[FiPfft]

If you hate those chords I guess it's a good thing you didn't cover it on uke how I did (as much like the guitar parts as I could, complete with awkward transposing and using frets that weren't actually present)?

And then there's the way your interpretation is such a refreshing listen. The laid-back feel & strumming pattern are just great, the singing nifty as!

You made excellent choices with what to do on this. Awesome work. Good luck with all your entries!

A houseful of stars!!!

[mctrmt]

Your version is much more true to the original- I knew I'd have no chance, so I just went with whatever. Glad you like it!

[FiPfft]

For "whatever" it's absolutely outstanding! I love it to bits.

[lukuleles]

i hate regular old D.

[mctrmt]

Everyone has a nemesis.

I want your thesaurus.

[unclejeff64]

nice one mary anne!

[mctrmt]

thanks, jeff!

[ukulelezo]

Be a hearter not a hater. Excellent strumming for this one! You totally showed Gm who's the boss. Tony Danza or Springsteen I guess...

[mctrmt]

Move over Tony Danza, I say!

[mctrmt]

yay!

[fourteentwelve]

Great job Mary-Anne! I like Crowded House a lot, and I'd forgotten about this song. Thank you for reminding me of it - it sounds great on the uke! Great job!!

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Michelle.

[casetone2514]

Poor Gm - I heart Gm mucho.

Crowded House - not so much.

Mary-Anne - heart +++

Stars X5

[mctrmt]

Gm and I just don't get along. Now, if I tuned in C it would be a whole other story and it would be Fm that I was complaining about.

Thanks for the stars!

[casetone2514]

How stooopid of me - I almost always tune in C and Fm is a &?@$£!^ so I concur with your assessment of Gm.

Still - nice job.

[owlphanumeric]

this is my favorite so far!

[mctrmt]

Thank you!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Lovely, relaxed singing and strumming Mary-Anne.

KEN

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Ken.

[josephhoh]

loved being in the 80s and still love the 80s

thanks for all the songs. now i gotta go find them on itunes esp this one as i don't know this one

[mctrmt]

If you like my version you are sure to like the original.

[BaronK69]

Haven't heard this song although I'm living in a crowded house myself. Love your version of it though and I'm sure it's much better than the original.

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Baron!

[UkuleleJJ]

Oh yeah... Crowded House! :-) Nice job with it. I especially like that strumming pattern. Ever think about doing "Four Seasons in One Day"? I bet that would suit the uke pretty well.

[mctrmt]

That song is one of my very favorites; I hadn't thought of doing it, but maybe I'll give it a go.

Thanks!

[eerteep]

sweet!

: )

[mctrmt]

Thanks :)

[deach69]

Really nice Mary-Anne!

[mctrmt]

Thank you, deach.

[russbuss415]

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Russ. I hope she likes it.

[theBradlands]

Delicate Touch..very nice.
