Rene Says - Ukulele Original Song

We lived in Walbridge Ohio for 4 years, and got to know some pretty interesting people. I wrote a bunch of songs about them... but I didn't know how to write the music. So here's one, and thanks to my daughter, now it comes with chords. Nobody ever heard it before now. Isn't that weird? Is a song a song if nobody ever hears it?

Some of the things in this song Renee actually said. Others, I made up. Is for funs. :-)

Why yes, it does sort of have a Joni Mitchell sound to it. I know. I love her.

p.s. i love you - cover

I first heard this song from Nellie McKay, but it's actually a standard. (love Nellie McKay, but Billie Holliday's version is pretty wonderful, naturally). So I was looking for a song to record while some original tunes are still percolating. I had looked at this before but decided it was too hard. Today, it seemed manageable.  I guess practice helps.

Fall Into Me - Original Song

Original ukulele tune. When I first wrote this about 15 years ago, I didn't have a uke, I had a piano. (Yeah, I was a terrible pianist too). That piano music is long gone, along with a few pieces of the lyrics, but I think this is close. One day I'll find that notebook and I'm hoping for a little Easter egg sort of surprise. Some forgotten genius moment. Ha. It could happen.
