"Home in Pasadena" on Martin 0 ukulele

This 1923 tune with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Clarke and Leslie has been recorded by everyone from Gail Sherwood to The Temperence Seven, for whom it was 1962's number 2 hit on the British pop charts, if you can imagine such a thing was possible.

Hey John,

I've just seen this one. Fantastic! You do it really well.  The uke and vocals sound great, and I'm impressed with the little fan stroke break!

Cheers,

Chris

@avon57 :) thank you, Chris! By the way, did "Smoke Dreams" on Friday and I think it went well. I know I missed a couple of things, but just kept going and I think only you would have noticed. :D

Wow, wow wow! Just found this thanks to a bump on UU. My favourite all time song and you give it the perfect treatment John!

[MrJnobianchi]

@johncaudrey Thank you, John. I LOVE this song - and most of Harry Warren's other songs. I always wanted to do this with the other two choruses - the patter chorus and then the obligato. Trouble is, I have no talent or ability in video production - which should be readily apparent from all these videos. :D

I've got the lyrics but not the chords for uke. Any idea where I can find them? Great song!

[MrJnobianchi]

@wrm12862 Sure - go to Jim Bottorff's banjo page - all song listed there in alpha order by title. A Great resource for uke players.
