Issue 4 of KAMUKE Ukulele Magazine


Here's a link to that Australian published magazine I was telling you about last Tuesday.

http://kamuke.com/

Issue 4 of KAMUKE Ukulele Magazine
has landed and is available now either individually or as part of a subscription
(see left).

The 36-page issue features an EXCLUSIVE interview with Hawaiian jazz great BENNY CHONG, as well as shorter chats with VICTORIA VOX, RALPH SHAW and
San Diego luthier PEPE ROMERO JR.

ARTHUR GODFREY takes his rightful place in the Hall of Fame and we get a
good look at an absolutely stunning 1930 MARTIN 5K in 'Uke-In-Focus'.

And there's a NEW SECTION! In response to readers wanting playing advice, we've introduced a 'Pro Tip' page where we aim to bring you handy hints from the world's best. In our first installment, Benny Chong presents '4 Bar Turn-Arounds (Vamps) For Intros And Inbetween Verses' in C major.

Happy reading and thanks for supporting KAMUKE!

Mahalo,

Cameron Murray

TUG Song list for Tuesday the 9th‏


Hi all, just some house keeping before I get into the songlist.
This is for our get together at the next Queens Park Market on the 21st of Oct.
We get a site for the entire morning so I and anyone else who wants to volunteer will stake our claim at 7am and we can have 20 to 30min sessions from the top of the hour. That's 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00 am. 12:00 noon if we're still keen. Also seeing as we are there all morning we should do our best to promote TUG so any ideas or suggestions on how we go about that would be welcome. If anyone has some A framed black or white boards we can use them to write info on, would be a help.

Now the songlist.
There was a few songs from the last songlist that we didn't get around to last time so I'll give them another run as for the rest, happy strumming.

1/ This Land Is Your Land. Pg. 243
2/ Y.M.C.A. Pg. 272
3/ The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Pg. 236
4/ He's got the Whole World in His Hands with extra lyrics (see below). Pg. 106 (I'll be organised this time, I'm printing copies as I type)

VERSE 5
He's got the [C] sun and the rain in His hands,
He's got the [G7] moon and the stars in His hands,
He's got the [C] wind and the clouds in His hands,
He's got the [G7] whole world in His[C] hands.

VERSE 6
He's got the [C] rivers and the mountains in His hands,
He's got the [G7] oceans and the seas in His hands,
He's got you [C] and he's got me in His hands,
He's got the [G7] whole world in His [C] hands.

VERSE 7
He's got [C] everybody here in His hands,
He's got [G7] everybody there in His hands,
He's got [C] everybody everywhere in His hands,
He's got [G7] the whole world in His [C] hands.

5/ Eight Days A Week. Pg. 81
6/ Click Go The Sheers. Pg. 61
7/ Stuck in the Middle With You (check the 'song' form on the top right of your page). Pg. 220
8/ Bye Bye Love. Pg. 52
9/ Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. Pg. 194
10/ Ring of fire. Pg. 197
11/ The Gambler. Pg. 233
12/ Baby Face. Page 27

Back-ups
