One take only, even if it sounds like horrible gibberish<br /><br />2.) I have to post it, even if I think it sucks<br /><br />So here it is, please leave a nice comment about what you liked/disliked so that I can get better at recognizing my strengths/weaknesses as a musician.<br /><br /><object height="265" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nfhHapAFxJc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nfhHapAFxJc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1401367763068404128-559771613614600489?l=pieku.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pieku(lele)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15936504503356062768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401367763068404128.post-1108987263600754502009-11-11T22:08:00.000-08:002009-11-12T00:19:32.169-08:00Hello everyone.&nbsp; As you may or may not have heard, I have been trying to learn new songs on the ukulele to play for everyone.&nbsp; In the last few weeks, I have posted several new videos to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/pieku">youTube</a> and I have been making new ukulele friends along the way.<br /><br />The main purpose of this blog is to encourage you to have a listen and rate my music.&nbsp; I don't care what rating you give me, just give me an honest rating, and forgive me for the poor video/audio recording devices that I have at the moment.<br /><br />Meanwhile, if there is anybody out there that wishes to collaborate with me, I am open to any sort of collaboration that will help me become a better musician.&nbsp; I am also accepting donations of an old web-cam if you have one, so I don't have to keep borrowing a camera.<br /><br />The other purpose of this blog is to highlight my experimental journey through music.&nbsp; It is my intention to post a song once a day that is completely improvised.&nbsp; This will no doubt sound really sketchy and of even worse quality than the songs I'm trying to show off, but I will label those as "Experimental Song - Song Title" on my youTube page so that you can tell them apart from the stuff that I'm NOT pulling out of a hat.<br /><br />That said, please subscribe to this blog and leave feedback, and subscribe to my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/pieku">youTube</a> page for video of Experimental Songs, and have a listen to some stuff that I've recorded to audio on my <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bobplummer">Myspace Music</a> page; No rejoining MySpace required, unless you feel a need to leave a comment or download an mp3.&nbsp; :-)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1401367763068404128-110898726360075450?l=pieku.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pieku(lele)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15936504503356062768noreply@blogger.com0
