April Showers (with verse) Ukulele UkesterBrown

Al Jolson made this song popular. It was written in 1921 by B.G. DeSylva and Louis Silvers. To the best of my knowledge this song is public domain and there is a Free Practice Sheet at www.ukesterbrown.com for your musical education and entertainment.

After quoting this from the Brave Little Toaster all of my life (literally, almost a full 20 years ;3 ), thought I'd FINALLY give this sng a real listen. Thank you so much -- this is very sweet.

@halcyonuke Thanks Al. Hawk Ridge is one of my favorite places.... This is my 2nd sweatshirt from there- I wore out the other one and this one is getting a little ratty.

Perfect song, perfectly done for a drizzly April day! Nice shirt, too....

@LStrachey Thanks for the neat info on Desylva..... very interesting!

[LStrachey]

wonderful ! -- Bud Desylva was a uker, and according to Life magazine, was discovered for the second time by Jolson and taken to NY (he was discovered for the first time by a guy who ran a nightclub; Desylva was at the beach with his uke singing to girls instead of studying). In NY, Desylva made an indecent among of money on his first song and never looked back.
