I Get The Blues When It Rains : Ukulele UkesterBrown

This song was written by Marcy Klauber and Harry Stoddard in 1929. Annette Hanshaw probably had the first recording as you can hear hers from 1929 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUblD31y95Q . When I first heard this version I immediately thought it would make a great country song and you can hear Jim Reeves do just that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gzkE_wXNUg This song was a request from Chris in the U.K.
There is a free practice sheet at www.ukesterbrown.com for your musical education and enjoyment. This practice sheet is in the same key that Annette sings it in so you can play along with her....
The shirt is from the Two Harbors Ukulele Group (THUG) in Two Harbors, MN. Great bunch of people up nort dar fer sher.

@fourteentwelve Thanks Michelle- I'm actually looking forward to rain because it will mean our snow is gone..... I'll have to wait 2 to 3 months...

Lovely playing David! I actually love the rain - it keeps the air cool here (although not too keen on the floods that the rain has brought here lately!)
