Been sketching a few “faux folk” songs lately – just writing new but kinda in-genre tunes for lyrics from this 1890 collection, without reference to the tunes given. Here are three that are recorded all through.

Some more Winkworth song lyric videos
Roundup of some more lyric videos for the recent hymn/songs, plus I think one more I hadn’t posted here yet:

Still working on those ukulele skills… They definitely have a Ways to go. But I recorded some of my old (from all the way back in March, so old) songs again and I think there’s definitely progress!
I also wrote a couple new ones. They are in a slightly different style, not sure if there’s any one reason for that… Again I’m using some old children’s poems, in this case from ‘Enchanted Tulips‘.
Sometime I might add chords or music — that and organise all these into sets now there are getting to be more of them… those are some possible next steps.
Hello ukulele 2

Hello ukulele!
This week I’m learning (some basic chords) on ukulele. Yesterday I wrote a bunch of songs. Words from an old book by Hannah Smith, except for “Look at the Moon” which is (adapted from) Eliza Lee Cabot Follen.
And I’ll put the rest in a new post.
