Original song
I played the ukulele theme to Peter Houdini, who encouraged me to record it. Many thanks for your advice to finish `projects´, Peter. It feels much better, even with the little mistakes and shortcomings.

- LUK Jazz Bass, fretless
- Epiphone AJ 45s steelstring Guitar


Fliegen lernen

Da musst du fliegen lernen

Auf deiner Strasse
Fährt schon lang nicht mal mehr ein Bus

Und mit jedem Schritt
Zerbröckelt dein Fundament

Dein Turm schwankt ja schon

Da hilft nur fliegen lernen
Ganz einfach fliegen lernen

Das Wasser steht dir bis über beide Ohren
Und die Flut kommt doch noch

Was zappelst du da im Treibsand
Du sinkst nur tiefer rein

Und der Strick
Zieht kräftig am Genick

Da hilft nur fliegen lernen
Ganz einfach fliegen lernen

Versuchs mal mit fliegen lernen

Da hilft nur fliegen lernen
Ganz einfach fliegen lernen
Da musst du fliegen lernen
einfach nur fliegen lernen

  • I totally share your vision. I write all my music purely on and for ukulele. And I try to rebuild the covers I record, to sound better with the ukulele.

    With our ukulele duo The D‘Ukes our biggest challenge is, to show that every kind of music can sound better on ukulele.

  • I do speak and understand "ein bischen Deutsch" as my father was from Bremen. Love your ukulele songs!

  • @jazzjaponique - Vielen Dank für das Lob vom Meister :-)

  • @thakoh - Thanks for your kind comment. In fact, the music was made with and for the uke. My approach is to use the benefits I get from the instrument, like the re-entrant tuning, the percussive qualities etc.. I like if the uke has its natural place among the other instruments, not being treated like a funny little grotesque guitar (I´m still in my beginnings, though).

    Having said that, I do love the comic elements in the music of Roy Smeck or George Formby. I´s a fun instrument in many ways.
