i'm not sure how many hours i've logged toward understanding what Lyle Ritz was doing in his ukulele playing in that Bernadette Peters / Steve Martin scene in that one movie but I've gotten as close as I can to making an arrangement that normal people can also play ;)

you can learn this arrangement inside the Swing Ukulele Academy, details here: www.ukuleleswingschool.com
or PM me <3
tonight you belong to me, a tune from 1926 made perfect on the ukulele sometime after 1956 (according to my copious research--a podcast episode on the topic is coming soon)

there will come soft rains, a poem that poet sara teasdale wrote about a hundred years ago
my friend meredith wilder and i wrote the music to it and while it feels like that happened a hundred years ago it was really only ten or so

last month, i taught songwriting at a ukulele camp ;)
here are the results of our hour or two together: a verse with some really evocative imagery and hauntingly beautiful music ...
