Celtic Tune Book Just in Time For St Patricks Day

I just received my copy of "20 Celtic Fingerstyle Uke Tunes" and it's a book that's long overdue. The arrangements are wonderful-some simple,some more complex,but I'd say all the tunes are more than certainly do-able by any player who gets this book now should be more than ready to visit the Irish pub with uke in hand my March 17. It comes with a CD so you can get a grip on what these melodies are supposed to sound like. I'm expecting this book to go quickly and if the one I have in my Bonanza store is gone by the time you click on the link,I have an additional copy in my ebay store
The list of songs are as follows:

Da Foula Reel
Drowsy Maggie
Fairy Dance
Flowers of the Forest
Jig: Queen Margaret University
John McHugh’s Jig
Kesh Jig
Sleepy Maggie
The Bank of Ireland
The Blarney Pilgrim
The Congress
The Connaught Man’s Rambles
The Glass of Beer
The Humours of Glendart
The Humours of Tulla
The Lilting Banshee
The Mug of Brown Ale
The Star of Munster
The Wind that Shakes the Barley
Tripping Upstairs

Certainly enough to keep any true Celt happy! I give his book 5 stars-a must have in any uke players library.

Happy New Year! 2012 is Near

First off,an apology for falling off the map. In truth,since my last post I got so busy running the store when the hours at my part time job went to full time unexpectedly due to winter & spring semester registrations,I was coming home from that job and then packing up orders to ship for about 2-3 hours on most nights. I'm still playing catch up on leaving feedback for customers-in a word,I was truly worn out.
I knew I was exhausted when for the 1st time in my life,on the 24th,I nearly said to hell with putting up the tree or decorating. I wasn't upset or depressed-I was tired. It was my Father who coaxed me into the ultra last moment decorating,and I'm glad I did.
After the holiday I rested & shipped items that needed to go out & am catching up on leaving feedback for customers, but aside from that,I haven't done much except play music on uke,my new electric violin,and mandolin, & classical guitar. I seriously needed that time out to recharge.
I was playing Spanish baroque tunes on my Zither Heaven uke last night-lovely compositions and I love the fact I can play tunes that were penned in 16-something.
A New Year is just before us,and I have a good feeling about this upcoming 365 day trip around the sun. What uke playing resolutions have you made for the upcoming year? To start teaching? Performing? learning new tunes or a new style? Lets strum our ukes into 2012!
