Well folks, it’s been a wild ride.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This project was directly motivated by Ms.\u00a0Shelley<\/a> and the PDX Fun-a-Day project.<\/a>\u00a0On the record, the York Uke 30 project took a little longer than 30 days due to unforeseen schoolwork and illness. To view the full playlist, go to the York Uke 30 on Youtube<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I think I’ve been the most shocked at the videos with the most views: Public Property<\/a>, I Am A Wizard<\/a>, and Decomposing Composers<\/a>. I’m not sure if I filled a certain ukulele youtube void, or if it was just the luck of the digital draw.<\/p>\n

From the player’s perspective, my favorite songs are the\u00a0ones in which I sing the instrumental breaks:<\/p>\n

24: Friend is a Four Letter Word<\/a> by Cake
\n21: Something<\/a> by the Beatles
\n17: Sad Songs and Waltzes<\/a> by Cake
\n13. Where Is My Mind?<\/a> by the Pixies
\n8: Then I Met You<\/a> by The Proclaimers
\n6: Mother of Pearl<\/a> by Nellie McKay
\n4. I’ll Follow the Sun<\/a> by the Beatles<\/p>\n

I also lean towards the sad songs, and my favorite songs to sing are the most heart-breaking ones:<\/p>\n

23. Mexican Wrestler <\/a>by Jill Sobule
\n20. Paper Bag<\/a> by Fiona Apple
\n7. Wicked Little Town<\/a> from Hedwig and the Angry Inch
\n5. Sally’s Song<\/a> by Danny Elfman
\n3. Every Time We Say Goodbye<\/a> by Cole Porter
\n1. Public Property<\/a> by Danielle Ate the Sandwich<\/p>\n
