’39

It is the only song I’m aware of that references Einstein’s special relativity. I used the 8-string Klos to get some appropriate jangle. The Zoom tour took a while, starting with South Bay Acoustic Music, then moving on to Monterey, Dani Joy, and finally, the Ukulele Rebellion Zoom Jam. Ukulele Rebellion often features themes; in June’s case, it was songs with 1-word titles—39 qualified well enough. I have a backlog of songs waiting for an appropriate Ukulele Rebellion theme. Sometimes, I can accommodate the themes with a song that is not in my production pipeline, but occasionally, they defeat me. Taylor Mini-e Bass, along with a few recorded Ebs and D7s on the backing track (courtesy of the Kanilea tenor ukulele). I watch a lot of science videos, so the subject of this song aligns with another one of my other interests.
