Since the first blog I published about Murph picking my ukulele up and deciding she wanted one which I replied she has to prove to me she is still keen enough by Perth and have a couple of songs down pat. Well we are about a week or so away from Perth and the Murph is still tinkering infact she often greets the fellow caravan parkers in the morning to a new day with her practicing outside. Muerph isnt the most confident of singers so its a low volume hum I hear with her playing taking into consideration I am half deaf so normal listeners will hear different.

Having Mike and Alana around with their ukes jamming away whenever we catch up I am sure inspires her to play more so she definitely is getting better from when she first started (thank god).
"Somewhere over the rainbow" Israel Kamawhatshisname's version seems to be her favourite so I am getting to know that one quite well like all the neighbours.

After playing Mike's and Alana's ukes I think she has decided upon a concert version which is bigger and easier to play than my little soprano size (yet she always tells me "size doesnt matter"). While I was doing a bit of youtubing last night Murph was online checking out ukes and different stores around Perth so the hard foot is down again telling her to practice practice and more practice (while I go for rides or walks) to get "somewhere over the rainbow" down pat.
I will give more updates to keep you in tune with this blog (pardon the pun)
