Write a Song Now! Ukulele Sound Files

Note: On a sunny Saturday afternoon, a neighbor visits the author to learn how to write a song. Over drinks and barbecued burgers on the backyard patio, the author has a casual conversation with his friend about simple song writing methods and techniques. He illustrates these methods with over forty examples using his ukulele. These are the sound files of those examples. They have been purposely recorded as the live, rough, and unprocessed files that the author plays outside on the patio. The files are provided for the use of readers who purchased a copy of the book “Write a Song Now! With Your Ukulele.” They may not be downloaded, copied, shared, or used without the express permission of the author. Contact the author at songsofsandyshore@gmail.com for information regarding the use of these files.​
