Some new and updated songs for your playing:
I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band) (Am Dm Em)_2022-08-29.pdf
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Baez) (C F G)_2022-09-03.pdf
And the word processing files for these songs: Word Processing_2022-09-15.zip
As of Nov. 13, 2021
These songs are either new or updated versions of songs on the website. Some will also be posted to other appropriate pages as time allows including new pages for "The '50s Progression" and "The Beatles" plus updates to the "Colors" theme and the TVUC Songbook. I'm currently working on updates for the 2021 Christmas Songbook, including a few new songs.
Also posted below is a new parody based on an invasion of trolls during Spooky Ukes 2021: Halloween in Zoom's New Tavern (Am Dm Em)_2021-11-02.pdf
All songs are in at least two keys so that almost everyone can play and sing a given song. Some songs have additional keys, usually to match the first "hit" of a song or if a song requires a large singing range, for example, "Unchained Melody." A capo will be necessary to sing in some keys (A Flat, E Flat, etc).
All song sheets are in PDF format. Compressed files have also been posted for both the PDF files and for the word processing files (Open Office and MS Word). Compressed files for individual groups of songs are available below.
Compressed files for all songs (as of Nov. 5, 2021):
Please let me know if you see any errors.
Updates as of early September have also been posted for both the Tennessee Valley Ukulele Club and the UkeQUESTors ukulele festival web pages.

Some updated files for this weekend's Zoom with an emphasis on thanks and Thanksgiving Day. We can also draw from the other "New and Updated" files on this page as well as the UkeQuestors Master Song List.
I hope to see you all on Sunday, 2:00 to 3:30 pm. The same link to Zoom will be used as last week (posted on Facebook).

Songbooks and tables of contents for these songbooks have been created for the songs on this page (excluding "Halloween in Zoom's New Tavern" -- just an oversight). Both Dispay and Print Editions are available although I'm not suggesting that you necessarily print out a copy just for the Zoom event on Nov. 14. All files are Adobe PDF.

Finally, there is this parody written to celebrate the intrusion by a group of trolls into the 2021 Spooky Ukes celebration on Zoom. It was written on Oct. 31 and sent to a few individuals who I thought might be able to improve the lyrics. No suggestions have been received. Perhaps it can serve as inspiration for another song (the heroic King, together with his Princes and Princesses, defending the castle keep against maurading raiders, etc.). Versions in Microsoft Word and OpenOffice are attached for anyone who would like to improve on these lyrics.
Select a tune and let your imaginations run . . . I'm currently starting work on an arrangement for the "Basin Street Blues," and that might have been my tune if I'd found dad's 1933 sheet music earlier. The tune I used was the "St. James Infirmary Blues" (more or less), which was the song that Keith was performing when the trolls arrived.
