Stairway to Ukulele Heaven



I figured out my version of Stairway on the ukulele this morning. I only ran through it a few times before recording the video so please forgive the mistakes and awkward rhythm. I'm playing a KoAloha soprano ukulele with Worth strings. If it sounds a little tinny it's because I'm in the bathroom recording on a cheap Sony point-n-shoot.

Here is the TAB:

Apple trees a possum

Apple has had a busy week. Earlier this week she treed a raccoon and last night she treed a possum in our backyard. We are convinced that mother nature is trying to hasten our departure from the neighborhood.

There was another dog here just a second ago...

We had Rufus in for his summer undercoat removal. THAT is a lot of dog hair! The Dirty Dog is donating all of the hair to the gulf oil spill cleanup efforts and I think Rufus may have singlehandedly saved a pelican or two.

Apple loves to chase balloons

Our pitbull Apple LOVES balloons... maybe a little too much. She will chase them and bark at them until they stop floating. After popping the balloon she will paw at it in the vain hope that it will re-inflate and start floating again.

Rufus's secret cache of moldy tortillas

A package of tortillas disappeared from the kitchen counter while Happy and Leo were house sitting a few weeks ago. Yesterday I came home to find Rufus in his bed working over a moldy, dirt-encrusted, leafy package of tortillas that I can only assume are very same ones that went missing. This might also go a long way towards explaining the moldy hamburger buns I found in the ceramic flower pot last month.
