Book Description
This book features over 100 traditional American folk songs newly arranged for the ukulele, with chord diagrams and melody lines in tablature and standardnotation. This extensive collection makes Favorite Old-Time American Songs for Ukulele a treasury of the best songs from the American tradition. Nothing in this book is out of range for novice ukulele players. The songs are in keys that are both easy to sing and that fit the melodic range of the ukulele. Of course, not every voice sings comfortably in every key, so information on transposition and a short discussion for players of the baritone ukulele are included. Although you do not need to read music or tablature to use this book, short introductions to each are included. In putting together this collection, the author was inspired by the old Americanpractice of making a sampler: an endearing needlework design showing off various stitches and techniques. The book presents a sampling of the best American songs for folks working in schools, churches, hospitals, coffeehouses and other public performance spaces, or for anyone wishing to expand their repertoire and brush up on a few old chestnuts. There's a little of everything here: sentimental old hearth songs, laments and lullabies, ballads and play-parties, the sacred and profane. The overwhelming majority of songs come from pre-industrial rural traditions, because this is the kindof music that seems to go well with homemade music-making in any age. Includes access to online audio

Book Description
FROM THE REVIEWS OF THE 2008 STAGE PRODUCTION:". . . this show is this year's jewel in the crown . . . A fast 90 minutes . . . charms with ease, rightly wearing its limited ambitions as a badge of honor: to provide a little entertainment in a troubled world."Christopher Murray, Back Stage"It has been a very long time since I've had as much fun at a musical as I had at [Ukulele Land]. I was also unexpectedly touched. And I was thrilled . . . . we can't help but listen and, perhaps, become enlightened and enlarged . . The plot effectively reminds us of the need to be true to ourselves and to question any kind of arbitrary authority, without ever feeling polemical or hackneyed and certainly without resorting to either irony or scare tactics. The activist spirit . . . is strong and authentic, yet it is very gentle. . . . the sometimes pointed, sometimes poetic, always honest lyrics by Jackson, are charming and infectious."Martin Denton, nytheatre.com" The show is set against the backdrop of a pharmacological dystopia in which The Corporation mandates people take drugs for ailments like sexual desire and the Love Police hunt down illegal monogamous lovers. . . . The mash-up commentary on our overmedicated culture, corporate dominance and ignorance of love and art is a big mandate for the play. Lines like "If this ain't love, Jesse James was a girl" and "Chemical emancipation - that's the new gyration" punctuate its songs with a goofiness that relieves some of that burden. . . . the playful strumming and the endearing innocence of the characters, who dub sex with a loved one 'monogomation', left a mostly optimistic feeling . . . And damned if I wasn't whistling the kitschy, plucky refrain on my way out of the theater." "...take a blue bit of sky, put it in your pocket..." Emily Meredith, NYPress.com "Never has a musical been so infectiously delightful . . . with jazz legend and ragtime scholar Terry Waldo's amazing compositions, choreographer Celia Rowlson-Hall's campy moves and a cast and chorus that are irresistibly charming in each and every scene, the joy was contagious. . . A spoof on the music industry, our increasingly corporate culture . . . a camp tour-de-force that manages, somehow, to also be steeped in American roots music."Rayhané S. Sanders, Show Business Weekly"When drug companies take over the world , sex is illegal, so is failure to take your drugs. . . . retro romantic comedy of the future . . . nostalgically inspired lyrics by Jackson particularly "Good Music," "Ukulele Land" . . . it's a Hoot! . . . delightful . . ."Dan Kassell, Jazz Journalist Association, on nytimes.com "Finally, the poodle of the guitar world gets some respect when a plucky band of ukulele strummers defy the authorities in the music deprived, sexless future of Uke Jackson (book and lyrics) and composer Terry Waldo's dystopian musical comedy."Time Out NY
