Gilroy CA. Ukulele Zoom Jam June 6 2020

Given the times, songs of comfort and inspiration were requested. I remembered this lullaby. The chart at https://shawnsukulele.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/boats-and-birds.pdf describes my arrangement. Godreau stays on the minor chords for the instrumental and makes use of the guitar’s bass strings. Finger picked songs are challenging for me. I am somewhat reluctant to do them for a Zoom meeting because of the inherent unkindness to any kind of subtlety and dynamic. But what the heck, I need the practice. I lost conscious track of the one beat at some point, but clocked in at the same time as the original. See the chart for link. Played using a Blackbird Farallon tenor.
