"When it's all gone wrong...it's hard to be so strong." ... - @jerrycantrell (of @aliceinchains) This hit hard last night, and while I know it has nothing to do with our shittiest staycation ever, too many of the lyrics just seemed to feel relevant. I have no right attempting this on ukulele, but I'm doing it anyway. . . . #AliceInChains #OverNow #MTVUnplugged #ukulele #KamoaUkes #PineappleUke #ukecover #fingerstyle #guitarriffs #grungeukulele #Isolation #SocialDistancing #StayHome #MoonFilter #BlackAndWhite #ColoradoMusicians #Boulder #coversong (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-JAhYan3lj/?igshid=anv69kil3660

New instrumental 馃崪 tonight on the Kamoa 馃崓. My voice is slowly returning after an unexpected bout of laryngitis, so I've spent the past few days in deep rest, discovering hot tea again, and playing instrumental things. This one plays off #jameshill 's #BoosterUke theory with B7, Em, and C6.

Took these photos to send to one of my younger ukulele students. Eventually, I'll overlay chord charts over them.

My last Jar of Flies cover isn't even a week old, but I started to work on "No Excuses" tonight after a long day of violin and ukulele lessons. Vocals and pleading for a drummer coming soon! . . . @aliceinchains #JarOfFlies #NoExcuses #ukulele #KamoaUkes #ColoradoMusicians #ukulelecover #ukecovers #90s #MTVGeneration #alternative (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4RNvpUHOSw/?igshid=1mru2vi0zxrhn

Thursday Studio Noodle! I was trying to see what I could come up just using my index finger barring "cheat". Then, because I have 3 other fingers all doin' nada...I add color! . . . #ukulele #KamoaUkes #ColoradoMusicians #songwriting #songwriters #Boulder #FiftyNinety (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzzDgmYFxCI/?igshid=2sbvi6bl85ub
