Swirling Clouds

“The more often we see the things around us
– even the beautiful and wonderful things
– the more they become invisible to us.
That is why we often take for granted
the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees,
the birds, the clouds – even those we love.
Because we see things so often,
we see them less and less.”
Joseph B. Wirthlin

Explore, Dream & Discover

“Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn’t do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain

Uke Music Moments

Posted on August 19, 2020 by Chronicles of a Blogaholic

“Every song is like a painting.”
Dick Dale

I’ve been listening to a lot of my favorite ukulele music. One of the song’s I’m really enjoying is Misirlou. This song gained popularity in 1962 when Dick Dale performed it as an American surf rock version.

The version I like is performed by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. I’m sure all of you are familiar with this song performed by The Beach Boys and Dick Dale and his Del-Tones version in the movie, Pulp Fiction. But you may not of heard it played by a ukulele orchestra.

Hope you enjoy this uke music moment.
