Ukulele song book index, and chord tracker
I like to play the ukulele everyday. I know a bunch of chords but not all of them.

A lot of these I've been playing at campfires in my community for years; some friends bugged me to record some before I move away, so here it is... The 'Flyball's Lament' track is a verbose reinterpretation of the MeFiMu classic by The Great Big Mulp. [more inside]
