Mr Blue

A ukulele cover of Catherine Feeny’s 2006 song

A breakup song; I can hear it as someone trying to fend off depression.  Earlier versions are here and here.   I heard the song at the end of the final BoJack Horseman episode.   I fingerpicked this time; I prefer it to the strumming of my first 2 attempts.  I also included the late Glen Baker’s harmonica and my own ukulele solo; this time, the ukulele notes are more audible.  The acoustics of my previous recording spaces, with the soft furniture, carpets, and curtains, were better than the drywall office environment I have now.  I used the low G Blackbird Farallon ukulele for the rhythm.  And I used a tambourine from the Logic Pro percussion library.  I played the bass on my Taylor Mini-e Bass.  No video this time.  I’m not sure there is much point, given the camera’s usual side view.  I was working with some sound engineers to improve my recording quality, and part of that meant supplying a vocal/rhythm ukulele track. Their efforts sucked, but I’m using the track here, as adjusted by me.
