Charlie Chaplin wrote a lovely music theme for his movie "Modern Times" in the 20's but lyrics for Smile did not happen until much later. Here's my ukulele double-stop score/tab arrangement and a video at youtu.be/S5wr8ge5yVA?...

Can't Help Falling In Love--- For Valentine's day: an ukulele duet with tab scores (display full and right click to save as .jpg: youtu.be/phJkS_zdtJ8?...

My favorite ukulele cover is Woody Paul's Compadres In The Old Sierra Madre. I found that starting with a closed Em, up 1 fret to closed C7, drop the pinky 1 fret to C6 (Am), drop the other fingers 1 fret to B7, and back to Em. Chords & melody arpeggiate in 2 frets! Sweet!

There's nothing quite like spending a few nights and days singing, playing, and learning a little more about music and yourself with a group of like-minded encouraging folks... Life on the Ruhstahller Farm near Dixon CA. rivertunes.net

Do you know how it feels when a friend takes your arm
And pulls you aside from yourself
If you were not paying attention
Or not listening closely you could
Miss the warmth of their grasp and recognize real affection
Humanity is often about closeness and contact,
isolation and celebration.

Had fun putting bass and guitar with ukulele and voice on Meredith Wilson's "Til There Was You": youtu.be/dY1MvUb8Ulc?...
