Remember when I said I was gonna be on TV?

Well, here’s the performance. This was recorded way back in July, which was 10 pounds and a beard ago (I’ve since lost both). I’ve never performed on television before, so I was nervous as hell and it kinda shows.

The Ocean Song.

I recently ordered a new ukulele (yes, another one) (yes, I have a problem) and it arrived from Hawaii last weekend. It’s a Pono made of curly koa and it’s a great little player with a nice, warm sound.

I took it out of the case and started playing it, just goofing around really, and suddenly this song began pouring out of me. I had the whole thing written in a matter of minutes. I’m starting to think maybe the song came with the ukulele, or the ukulele wrote it and I’m just channeling it. Anyway, I recorded it tonight and I think it came out okay.

Like all my songs, this was recorded on a Zoom H4 and then mastered in Cubase LE. In addition to the Pono I’m also playing a no-name longneck zebrawood uke on this one.

Miss Mischief.

Over the weekend I went to the Southern California Ukulele Festival and it inspired me to finish writing a song that had been buzzing around in my head for a while. It’s called “Miss Mischief”.

The picture above is of one of the ukuleles I picked up at the show. It’s a neat little axe with an inlay of a pretty island scene made out of abalone or some other shiny substance.

Dueling ukes.

Here’s a short little video of David Wachter and I jamming at San Diego Comic Con earlier this summer. I just found this; I thought it had been accidentally deleted.

And here’s another short one from Comic Con last year featuring Nat Purcell:
