Set Choices

by Alex

As a new father, I am facing a dilemma that men before me have faced for generations: what songs should go into the first set that I learn to play on the ukulele to my adorable children? After some serious thought I’ve settled on:

I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning (Bright Eyes)

It’s You I like (Mr. Rogers)

Horchata (Vampire Weekend)

Lei Pikake (Hapa)

Patience of Angels (Boo Hewerdine)

Flowering Spade (Sean Hayes)

Also-rans include: Billy Bragg, Great Big Sea. Maybe for the next round.
