Bye Bye Blackbird (with verses) UkesterBrown Ukulele

The chorus is recognizable to most of us, but the verses are sometimes forgotten to this song. It was written in 1926 by R. Henderson and M. Dixon. My canary Danny joins me on this song. Free practice lead sheet at www.ukesterbrown.com for your musical education.

Thank you so much for recording the verses!! I'm going to check out the lead sheet now.

@fawnfritzen I'm glad you liked it- I have a lot of "lost" verses on my site.

So cool! I want to get good on the Uke. I think they sound great. You have a fab voice and I love how your little birdie joins in too :-)

[UkesterBrown]

His name is "Danny" and he joins in a lot!

Very nice job. Wonderful for a Sunday morning. That uke sure sounds sweet. Great balance with the clean vocals. I love the canary accompaniment. Another great tune to bookmark and learn. Thanks! What camera are you using?

[UkesterBrown]

The camera is the built in on my MacBook- that is all I use for a mic too. The MacBook has iMovie software that I am using and I just do a straight take with no editing-yet. The laptop has the problem of placing it to record as I have no tripod use

I just found this one, Dave. I appreciate the verses. The verses seem to have been left out of many of the old songs over the years.
