"Stella" a ukulele original and dedication

[MrECLECTICIAN]

this is my third time through. Has its own funky addictive style to it. Thumbs up here.

[raffaport]

This is great and I really enjoyed the listen, thank you. What's with the ukulele bit? Is it a baritone you are playing as it sounds very guitar like. Still good whatever it is. Thumbs and kind regards.

[cinderellalifestyle]

@raffaport Thanks so much for listens:-) it is an old Harmony Bari strung with classical guitar strings--three out of the four are metal..highest string, Nylon,,,and why the guitar style/sound, that plus my lazy uke method which is mostly all barred chords (actual fingered chords are so pretty and richer, but,...my time is so limited, therfore, I cheat!) ,,,it is tuned just like my lap steel , in open D DADF# , the bottom (AD)

[tanglewoodtw400n]

Loving this song great melody and some marvellous chord changes a fav. Cheers chuck

[bedsitsongbird33]

really out there this one laurie a lot of the stuff you do is really far out in a good way ps loved the lyric to this one

[ljped]

Wonderful jazzy tune and singing! Stella is very fortunate to have such a superb song dedicated to her :)

[MrCatstail]

Beautiful song and video for Stella, Cinders. It`s one of my favorite subjects in pictures, clouds !! and you have captured them wonderfully here. The positive thing about friends departing is they take a little of You with them. Stay sweet.

[cinderellalifestyle]

I have trust in you and this is a good thing to do for Stella !!!

[cinderellalifestyle]

@kickingmule she is a sweetheart and I think someday she might show up plunking, sliding and bending notes, strumming on an instrument, too......I love the knowing that thru my notes, and thots...inspiration went forth and it may have caused someone to "find their banjo"...:-) the muses are good!!

Blessings, Urban!

@LRobbins56 Larry, I am sure your love of music WILL find a way to adapt,,,it is still cause to slow down, add care/caution to all the things you do, and i know you do lots!!! you are a "do-er" , cause you wear the same outfit i do at times (overalls)....some instruments,,,(pedal steel) come to mind, allright....

can i say ouch again....???

mental hugs from the Larry Robbins Fan Club Prez, way out west!!!!

XOXs too,..Laurie

[naT2ureGift]

[cinderellalifestyle]

@naT2ureGift  Sweet Eleanor, you rode atop that breeze and arrived unscathed:-) I am relieved to hear you, for I have thought of you many times in watching the news from the east....a sign of relief, as each eastern friend "checks in" this week..!!! I do hope you and yours suffered no losses.

Hugs! XSOLaurie

[teteroom]

Excellent original, just great! I enjoyed this one!

[cinderellalifestyle]

@teteroom Thankyou Tete!! I'm comming over in a minute to have some late listens....YT does not send great alerts,..i have missed a few of your recent music video creations:-) Cheers my friend!

[Gregparkerblues]

Hi Laurie. I haven't lost 'Riding On the L & N',a favorite from Stella,or others from britbluesfan,yet. (how did she do that ?) Hope she 'returns'. Original 'tribute' & photos enjoyed by ozbluesfan,Greg.

[cinderellalifestyle]

@Gregparkerblues it is to YT's credit that they do not yank the "trailings" of the gold mine, and the playlist is available...and yes, that Riding in the L and N was a super vid/music/share. I hope she does too (come back someday)

Cheers to you in your part of the world!

[cadwalladee]

[flewincnowokayx12]

Hello there my extra special friend ;-)) Well, I have to say that you sure have a way with lyrics, instrumentals, and a unique quality of putting it all together for us. What a package of goodness you are! Excellent pics on this video, and what more can we say from the Pond but #11 thumbs up baby! Onto your playlist this goes as well. Thank you for the lovely visit today, because I am kinda' swamped, and it cued me to your latest here. Thank you! XOS and you have the best week ever LLC! xx me,~J

[cinderellalifestyle]

@flewincnowokayx12 THankyou my dear..i'm late in getting here to say so....too many nights of little sleep, my wheels turn, i go in circles!!!...still researching bugs.....time to get out and take advantage of cool mornings...:-)

XOShugs, Laurie

[flewincnowokayx12]

@cinderellalifestyle I know the feeling, am spinning pretty fast myself lately. WEll, you just take it easy today, enjoy the cool morning. It is getting much cooler in the mornings here also, fall is in the air~ I am just so happy we are getting things resolved here @ the swamp, oh what a difference in mood it makes as you catch up on "things" eh? And yeah, I research bugs also, it is actually a most amazing field of study.. glad to have finally identified a couple of our culprits. Ava g'day!!

[russbuss415]

oh yeah, those photos are great. i can see how they inspire music. wonderful song you made for your friend!

[cinderellalifestyle]

@russbuss415 thankyou Russ! ....i never try to write things, ususally moments, occurances are the instigating factor.....the clouds were a def treat...the "bird on the wire" was admiring right along with me, that sunrise....that pic a lil tip of the hat to Joe Cocker,--his rendition of the classic Cohen song --Stella knew my Brit favs,...his recordings were top of my LP heap, when i was a kid.....

[lilrolter]

What a great idea you had then Laurie! I'm sure Stella will love this wonderful attention! I was sad as she had stopped her channel. But it is in our heart! A true friend!

BigBluesmama §;-))

[cinderellalifestyle]

@lilrolter it is a nice place to keep a friend, always..:-) Cheers to you Big Mama, and thankyou for kind words..I know she had alot of admirers here...!

[karlake2]

Great friend song! (A new genre!?) Sound's great and performance is beautiful! I've looked at clouds from both sides now! -karl

[MrsCatification]

Lovely song Laurie! Nice playing and vocals! Wonderful photos of sunrise and cloud formations.

Love - Viveca xxx

[profwaldo]

Although your tunes are always exclusively LaurieLee in my mind, I couldn't help but feel a dash of Joni. But that's just me and my lifelong obsession with Joni. And even tho' I'm a 53' model, we're both from that great era hahaha... I'm guessin' she had a small influence on you also.

This is such a beautiful "see ya' later alligator" song for Stella, nice work my big-hearted friend, you're such a lovely soul ta' know, doncha' know...

Real pretty popcorn clouds ya' captured there Laurie. :-))

[mostlythemusic]

Great song laurie.. Shame your friend left youtube, but it isn't for everyone... people don't half look at me funny when I tell them I'm a YouTuber haha.. They just don't see why I'd do it.. but for me its a great way to get across the music I play.. As I say, great song Laurie, really enjoyed it. and the pictures were nice also. have a lovely Sunday ~ Ryan x

[017mls]

Sunrise for Stella ... such a nice thought. A warm and lovely song for a friend complete with beautiful pics!

[bagslifeim]

Laurie

I'm very impressed by your warm melody and beautiful images!

[cinderellalifestyle]

@bagslifeim Thankyou so much, Mary Ann,,,you are sweet........I wish I had the kind of time as when young....just to lay on a blanket and watch clouds float by.. to stop and ponder beauty is a good thing...:-) Thankyou for listening, and kindwords!

XOsLaurie

[jjmc60]

A touching and thoughtful way of saying thank you, Laurie.

[cinderellalifestyle]

@jjmc60 A sunrise is a little like the season spring= full of hope, life going on.....so no sunsets for us, only sunrises:-) thanks, so much:-)

XOS, Laurie

[fendermac]

I'm shocked!

[cinderellalifestyle]

@fendermac me too:-( ....I don't have any details.....perhaps she will be back...when a channel is abruptly shut down...it is a hugesetback,.,,,many hours of work(I know you know) ....at least we can pull up britbluesfan vids,,,

Stella, a gem.

OXOs, have a great week, Paul!

Laurie

[bedsitsongbird33]

Cheers, and have a great week!

[FrankRMusic]

Hi Laurie, a nice song for a good friend of yours. Well, what I don´t like at YouTube is they different way they treat the users...some can cover, some got troubles...it´s unfair use of fair use. As you know, I don´t cover at all on YouTube (though I did all my life, on stage, and all that- paying the royalties...).

It´s time they find a fair way for all.

Whatever reason your friend has had...we don´t know...

Nice song;-)))

Frank

[cinderellalifestyle]

@FrankRMusic I think so too,.....(solution)....especia­lly when playing or hosting a work is truly a form of honoring the group/writer/song....., should not be punished when there is no money gained....

Cheers my friend...(I'd love a solution so we could hear you play some of your own favs!!)

L, LL

[CassandraAntares]

[zazamaxi]

What a lovely song for your friend, pity she had to go, some people find this YT thing too much, did she close her channel? Anyway, she knows she will be missed. BRAVO little Cinders.......Oxo Maxi

[cinderellalifestyle]

@zazamaxi Maxi,.. I'm not sure,...i know her channel was bumped once, maybe twice (I'm very forgetful) ...copyright troubles, maybe...I'm reminded of many times I've read posts when this happens and friends worry. so I addressed, life as usual. in song;-).......it is a little bit of our lives really, this thing called youtube, after so much time:-) and some folks, honestly, like family. Blessing to you and yours, m'dear!

[zazamaxi]

@cinderellalifestyle ....The best things in life truly are free.....Just look at that sunrise.... Wow...
