Handy links to learning the ukulele online.
Some incredibly great music manuscripts from “Hidden in Plain Sight: Musical Treasures in the Penn Library”, from University of Pennsylvania’s Otto E. Albrecht Music Library.
I’m loving “The Hippopotamus Polka” cover (circa 1850), and I appreciate the notes scribbled on Fantasia on a Theme, but, seriously, back to that hippo…
Part of the reason I’ve resumed work on the tablature conversion “software” (JavaScript is software? sure. why not?) is so I could learn to play a song’s melody— you know, music that sounds like “music” as opposed to just the chords (I cannot sing) — with people asking, “ummmm, what are you suppose to be playing now?”
However, in order to do this I needed blank manuscript paper, paper with the musical staff (just treble clef, of course) plus the tablature “bars”. Naturally, I made my own… because I’d never heard of this Google thing.
