I’ve just added a songsheet for Teddy Bears Picnic to my collection of free downloads. It’s done for sopranino ukuleles in F tuning but, like all of them, can be used for other instruments and/or tunings.
There’s a little more info here or you can right click it’s title (above) to directly download it. Alternately, you could check it out on my free ukulele songsheets page which also includes a number of other free downloads.
Let me know what you think of it in the comments!
In my continuing efforts to avoid duplicating too many entries between here and my site’s “news” section, please pop over there and read about how my latest video has hit a personal milestone.
And thanks much for being part of that!
For a variety of reasons I’d like to do some touring this winter, possibly extending into spring. One of the main reasons is that my primary source of income–that is to say, busking–falls flat during this season. You might have heard the huge thud on January 1st as far away as Europe! I figure if I can tour a bit and arrive home without losing money–i.e. I’m not worried about big pay–I’m at worst no worse off than how the winter usually goes. And, best of all, I’ll have an adventure, break out of the usual rut, and get to actually meet some of you fabulous peeps live and in color!
If you, or anyone you know, lives along the I-5 corridor–or within say… an hour’s drive of it–and are interested in hosting me for a house concert and/or helping me find a gig I’d like to hear from you.
Gigs would include opening up for other acts at “traditional” venues, the aforementioned house concerts, and concerts/seminars at ukulele clubs.
If you’d like further details, send an email to tour2012@howlinhobbit.com, or pass this email address on to a friend who might like to participate. Please note that simply indicating interest in the details does not volunteer you for anything! Nor will you or your friends be snuck onto any mailing list.
(Of course, you’re always welcome to opt-in to my mailing list!)
If I get enough interest, even for a smallish tour, I’ll jump on it!
Please drop me a line and let’s get this thing off the ground!

If you were an “early adopter” and have already downloaded the songsheet from my most recent video (I Like Bourbon) I’ve just put up an edited copy. The download link for it is on my main site’s Free Ukulele Songsheets page.
Basically I’d been asked for a couple minor clarifications and whilst I was in there I found a couple oddly worded sentences and fixed them too.
First, I hope you and yours had a happy holiday season.
Second, yeah, it’s been a while since I blogged, but I haven’t exactly been idle. Amongst other things, I’ve written a number of new tunes recently, with the hope of getting a new CD out forthwith.
Which brings us to the third thing… my first new video in over 10 months.
Ten months! sheesh!
A quick warning. There are two small examples of what often rejoices in the title of “adult language” in the song. If you’re at a workplace where such things would be frowned upon, either wait until you get home or plug in your headphones.
With that out of the way, here’s…
If you’d like to strum along on your own ukulele, you can download the songsheet. (It’s in pdf format.)
More soon!
