Thrice Tosse These Oaken Ashes (Thomas Campion – Renaissance Ukulele Cover) – 52 Covers Challenge #1

Posted by on October 1st 2021 @ 4:45 pm

I’m singing this beautiful English renaissance song by Thomas Campion about trying to win over an indifferent potential lover with various spells and charms to kick off two things: 1) It’s October! and every Friday this month I’ll be releasing a new recording of a song worthy of the season. 2) I’m also kicking off a 52 covers challenge, where I’m going to be memorizing a song (not written by me) and recording it each week. I’ll also be releasing sheet music or a cue card (a memorization aid) for each of these songs at http://patreon.com/uke for my supporters. For those wondering, a renaissance ukulele is actually a 4-course renaissance guitar. Did you know GCEA tuning has been around since the 16th century?

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
