Ken Middleton May 25 Ukulele Lesson on "Sunny"




Uploaded on Mar 26, 2009
A "quick and sloppy" improvisation based on the song "Sunny" by Bobby Hebb (1965).

This turned out a lot better than I expected. Lots and lots of gorgeous wrong notes. The ending is particularly awful. I didn't do a second take on either part.

I had also half ripped off my thumb nail. It was held on with super-glue. Unfortunately, I also glued by nail to my thumb so I couldn't really use it.

I am using my Kanile'a K1 Concert and my Kala JazzUke.

Bobby Hebb about his song "Sunny" (released in 1966):
All my intentions were just to think of happier times basically looking for a brighter day because times were at a low tide. After I wrote it, I thought "Sunny" just might be a different approach to what Johnny Bragg was talking about in 'Just Walkin' in the Rain'
