The Ukulele Luau in Nashville, IN was a blast.
I'm catching up to my life right now, but I thought I'd post a vid to tide you over.
It's me, Dustin, Jason and Philip doing a cover of the immortal uke classic, Elephant Town!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted a video. Things have been really crazy for me lately. I'll update you guys soon.
Thanks for being so patient.
Here's "Come Together," from the Beatles. I believe John wrote this one mostly. I had a lot of fun recording it. Hope you enjoy it.
Peace, Narciso.

Hello all.
Before anyone asks, yes. This song is about the same damn woman. What can I say? She was a doozy.
This song is about the plans and promises that die with the end of a relationship.
I had always wanted to write a song with her, but we never did. I don't know why. It just never happened. A lot of things we planned never happened. A road trip to Memphis, getting married in autumn, growing old together...
Here are the lyrics:
The Song We Never Wrote Copyright 2004 Narciso Lobo
We jumped in the Jeep and left town It was tough to take the top down We hit highway 57 like a buck and wing The lazy sun was setting All our cares we were forgetting 500 miles and change to the city of the king
We only had one more hour When the skies began to shower Kissing in the southern rain made my knees get weak We thanked the barkeep that saved us And the Graceland gods that gave us Sweet Memphis blues to sway to cheek to cheek
Oh, my, my I cannot tell a lie But these words have a hard time coming out of my throat Oh, well, well It's a story I had to tell I just thought I'd write the song we never wrote
On a day I'll always remember We got married in September The leaves on your bare feet just made me cry You sang and I played guitar Mahal kita (I love you) I'm the luckiest man on earth, and that's no lie
We flew off to take a Honeymoon down in Jamaica We swore by the reggae beat we would never part To our bungalow we go To turn our lights down low And make ourselves at home under the island stars
Oh, my, my I cannot tell a lie But these words have a hard time coming out of my throat Oh, well, well It's a story I had to tell I just thought I'd write the song we never wrote
It sets my heart aglow To watch our family grow Ain't no better way a man could spend his time Through all life's aches and pains My love for you remains I'll stay right here with you until the day I die
This song is yours to keep I guess it just put you to sleep I'll carry you upstairs; you just go on snoring I'll kiss you on your head And tuck you into bed Good night, my love, sleep tight; see you in the morning
Oh, my, my I cannot tell a lie These words have a hard time coming out of my throat Oh, well, well It's a story I had to tell I just thought I'd write the song we never wrote

Hello all.
I've gotten at least 3 requests for this one. It's a very intimidating song for me to do, because Bill Withers is my all-time number one favorite musician.
I just tried to let go and sing my heart out. I'm afraid it's a little sloppy, but I'm okay with that. Hope you are too.
I forget who requested this, so if it was you, let me know in the comments.
As always, thanks so much for your generous love, support, and encouragement.
Peace, Narciso.

Hello all.
I was surfing YouTube and came across this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSVLkNl1lbo
It's a video of ukulele player oniyoun playing "Dear Prudence" as a tribute to John Lennon.
I had no idea that today was the anniversary of John Lennon's death. The world lost one of its most devoted truthtellers 27 years ago today. This is my favorite song of his. Rest in peace, Mr Lennon.
Please do check out the rest of oniyoun's videos, especially if you're an ukulele player. He's much better than me! Here's the link:

Hello again.
I took a week off, so here's another video to make up for it.
I don't have the tabs for this, and I don't think I'll be able to make them, either. Sorry. I tried to make my hands as visible as possible.
I tuned my G string down to F. I play this song in F, but the Beatles version is in G. I just couldn't figure out a good way to play it in G, so I just did it in F.
Hope you like it, guys! As always, thanks for all the encouragement and support.
Peace, Narciso.

Hello all. Hope everyone's doing well.
Here's another original. It's a simple love song, written about the same woman, when our love was new.
In many ways, "Goodbye Leaves" is a direct descendant of this song. I wonder, is it apparent?
Here are the lyrics:
The Leah Song Copyright 2003 Narciso Lobo
Climb up on top of the roof Look at this lovely sky Some look at the moon and say she's aloof But look at her lovely shine Yeah, those are my knees shaking Yeah, that's my heartbeat pounding inside But it ain't the height that's making me So terrified
I believe I'm falling I believe I'm falling Calling out Leah, Leah I believe I'm falling I believe I'm falling Calling out Leah, Leah
Maybe I just ought to quit Maybe you got a plan You ain't safe, and I don't fit But I'm still gonna be your man, yes I am I want to watch you dance again Sing me some Marley Take a hold of my hand I'll drive you home in my van As slow as I can
I believe I'm falling I believe I'm falling Calling out Leah, Leah I believe I'm falling I believe I'm falling Calling out Leah, Leah
Ah, these one-armed angels Ah, these beautiful leaves Ah, these one-armed angels Ah, these beautiful leaves

Hello all.
Here's an old favorite of mine. One of the first good songs I wrote. It's called, "Half the Time," and it's about feeling like you can never win, no matter what.
As always, thanks so much for the support, encouragement, and love.
Before I print the lyrics, do me a big favor and check out a friend's channel. His name is Alain DeCourtenay, and he's played at my open mic before. He's amazing. Trust me, I wouldn't steer you wrong.

Here are the lyrics:
Half the Time Copyright 2001 Narciso Lobo
Half the time I'm drinking gin The other half I'm drunk Half the time I'm telling lies The other half is bunk Half the time I'm half awake Remembering your skin Half the time I lose the game The other half I can't win
Half the time you're not around The other half I'm alone Half the time I bitch and whine The other half I moan Half the time I wish I hadn't done Half the things I do Half the time I'm seeing red The other half I'm blue
Half the time I'm so bummed out The other half's no fun Half the time I walk away from love The other half I run Half a chance is all I need To show you that I can change Half a line's all I got left Won't you please meet me halfway?
