I couldn't miss the 1st day of the new fest so I wrote this about an hour ago. This track comes in at 1:27, just 2 tracks me and my baritone uke recorded live.

"Another Song"
written & performed by Hook

Rogue baritone ukulele
I don't have to talk for hours
I don't have to go on & on & on & on
I don't have to fill a page full of words
Every time I sit down to write another song
I don't have to search for meaning
& I don't need no metaphors
I'm not setting off with answers
& I'm not knockin' on anybody's door

I'll Try not to be long winded
& I'll try not to ramble on
& I'll try hard not to get sidetracked
By the banjo and another song
& I'll try to remember to make a list
& when I leave I'll try to remember that list
&  once at the store I'll try not to leave
The list and my wallet on the dashboard

       Cause she rings up all my crap and I can't pay
       & I'm running back to my car
       & when I get there I don't care anymore


I'll make a point to get straight to the point
& I'll avoid all unnecessary facts
I won't dance around the issues
& foot for foot I'll follow in all of your tracks
I'll stay on course & not steer you wrong
But look a mandolin and another song
& since I forgot what I wanted to say
I don't think this was gonna be a good song anyway

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

This is great! Sharp lyrics and works so well as a live recording. I'm impressed you got all that out in one go! I would have tripped over the words. Very nicely done.

Great little song - you can certainly let the words flow, most would have trouble keeping up with that catchy pace. Brilliant performance all round.

Yeahhhhhh, love it man......great song.  You got it going on.  You got me laughing out loud from your witty little story, a real steam of consciousness beauty.

Wonderful tune with great production.  Lyrically, it's way over my head.

I really dug this one. I'm glad to see you're getting a lot of mileage out the uke. Once again, I am loving these uke posts.

This song made me feel exceptionally happy today - I'm still chuckling over some of the lyrics. Witty, fun and charming with a smooth and pro delivery!

Yes - I love it.
