Ukulele songsheet for "I Ain’t That Kind Of A Baby" by Irving Kahal & Addy Britt and Sammy Fain (1927). Lyrics, chord names and diagrams, unfortunately too much for alt-text.

Another Sammy Fain tune today, collaborating as he often did with Irving Kahal until the latter's untimely death. Esther Walker provides the vocals:

Another absolutely clean and innocent number today (because people in the past never thought about sex and other naughtiness, don'tcha know), in a pretty straightforward arrangement that captures the spirit of the piece rather than being a strictly precise […]

Lewis Anderson "Rabbit" Muse only released two albums—Muse Blues in 1976 and Sixty Minute Man in 1977—when he was already in his late sixties. This is the title track from the final LP, a ukulele cover of a song originally written for 50s doo-wop band The […]

Finding New Ways to Play Your Ukulele **Make your Playing More Interesting by Doing It Your Way.** **When I asked** David Megarrity, aka _Tyrone_ in the duo _Tyrone & Lesley _(read the interview here) about his ukulele playing style he said he’d never been asked that question and promised to get back to me about it. **It was said that, before taking on** any new lab assistant, Albert Einstein would first take them for lunch. If they put salt and pepper on their food without tasting it first, they didn’t get the job. Many people approach their ukulele playing just like those unwary lab assistants. More often than not players will attack a new song without any thought as to how a song ought to be played. Result: it gets played the same as all their other songs. **It often happens,** while I’m demonstrating a playing technique, that most of the class will straightaway join in and play along without having heard what it is I’m trying to show them. That’s when I stop what I’m doing and give a brief discourse on how the most important part of playing music is _knowing how to listen._ We are creatures of habit. But how can we expect our playing to be varied and interesting if we bang away on our instrument without first thinking, “How should THIS song be played?” **By simply asking that question** the answers will come forward and show themselves. Interestingly the player’s level of ability doesn’t matter too much. Just taking a breath and consciously searching for sounds and techniques will cause ideas to come. This is how we become better players. I’d like to share with you a little of what David told me about his process. I found it fascinating that his songs inform how he will play them. There is no single style or signature strum that he uses. Each song is individually considered. He sent me the following thoughts about his picking and strumming choices in the songs on his new album _Keepers._ At first glance these notes may look unhelpfully brief but I think they offer an insight into what could be a new way of thinking for those of us who wish to improve our playing on our own terms. **Uke styles on the new Tyrone & Lesley album _Keepers_** You can listen to the individual tracks described below (at no cost) on the album’s Bandcamp page **David says,** “As _Tyrone & Lesley_ we play 99% original music and think of genre or style as a pathway rather than a destination. _The playing styles are often inseparable from the song writing. Here are s_ ome specific techniques used on **_Keepers:_** **Rolling, untutored arpeggios,** approaching campanella? (song: _Keeper_) Soft brushing **finger-strums** (song: _This House Knows_) **Pizzicato,** damped with the heel of the hand plus a **‘skank’** (song: _Canoe_) Gypsy jazz rhythm style **‘la pompe’** – slow to frantic, sometimes with fingernail. More often with plectrum. (songs: _Walter Taylor, People In Love_) _People In Love_ also has a **ukulele lead break harmonised with double bass part** – composed by Sam, which I had to learn. A sort of **spacious strumming,** sometimes with light percussive elements (song: _Queue_) A sort of **rolling, clawhammer – adjacent** chordal strum with **hammer-on/pull offs** incorporated (song: _This House Knows_) **General insights:** I often do **several playing styles** within one song. **Sometimes I do ‘lead breaks’,** but I’m not a good improviser – the actual notes of the fretboard are like submerged steppingstones – I just leap in. I use a lot of **harmonics** – sometimes to make a point, sometimes I throw them in when I’m feeling confident or want to communicate that the instrument, and by extension the audience, are in good hands. I have been using fingers more than plectrum latterly. **The location recordings made me realise that we’re both listeners.** As player/performers, we’re also an intent kind of mutual audience. There’s ‘listening back’ while demoing or in the studio, but there’s ‘listening during’ while rehearsing, performing – that’s key. Playing style is also related to the instrument you’re playing – the _Bruko_ ukulele I used to play didn’t have much sustain – the _Captain_ ukulele does. Maybe if I plugged-in to play I could then have more sustain and my technique might be different. **However I love the acoustic sound of the uke,** and what you might gain in clarity by plugging in, you lose in intimacy – it might work well for others, but not for me. Some of my favourite pieces were invented when **I was supposed to be doing something else** or just relaxing. Playing on the verandah, or in the backyard while my son was bouncing on the trampoline. **When I broke my arm and couldn’t play for a few months I really missed it and realised how much it’s a fixture in my life.”** **And back to Ralph…** What I think this tells us, is that even without being taught specific strums, styles or techniques it is possible, by following your own imagination, to make your music more varied and interesting. Listen to yourself, without self-criticism, and feel your way towards figuring out what you can add to your own music in terms of strum variations, note picking and moments of ‘no-chord’ silence. **And, should a modern-day Einstein** suddenly decide to interview you for a job, you’ll be at least somewhat prepared.

Feels good to get back to writing up some music, although actual ukulele playing is still limited. Long Covid exhaustion has really thrown a spanner in the works when it comes to hobbies; or to anything else, for that matter.

Of course, after that burst of limited activity I'm now good for […]

Photo of some slightly crumpled, worn and age-tanned sheet music for "I Haven't Told Her, She Hasn't Told Me." This British printing is black and white with song details on the cover and the note "Featured by Tony Tuck" next to a photograph of a man in a suit who is holding a bell-shaped acoustic guitar with wide ribbons tied to the headstock.

Ukulele songsheet for "I Haven't Told Her, She Hasn't Told Me, But We Know It Just The Same" by Al Dubin, Irving Kahal and Sammy Fain (1927). Lyrics, chord names and diagrams, unfortunately too much for alt-text.

Peter Sellers learned this 1927 song from his dad and it clearly stuck with him: in addition to performing it on his 1959 comedy album "Songs For Swingin' Sellers" and in the largely forgotten 1973 film "The Optimists of Nine Elms," he rolled it out during […]
