I wanted to introduce a new section here on the blog to keep it interesting- so on this page we'll be exploring the cowgirl/cowboy tradition of playing,and dipping into bluegrass....or as I coined the phrase......"blukegrass"!
When I first saw books on this,I thought it was merely a new fad. A little web research,an
d I found out how wrong I was. I now have two Patsy Montana songbooks,and both of them have songs for ukulele mixed in with the guitar music. Being a 2nd generation musical cowgirl,ukulele player,and guitarist,my genetic code took over and well,here I am! And I'll be sneaking in some guitalele stuff here as well.
And it makes sense that actual working cowboys and girls would pack a ukulele when out on the trail- the portability of them make it an easy choice,and they don't require the TLC that fiddles do. (I know cause I play fiddle!)
While I don't have a ranch or any critters to herd,I do have plenty pf cowgirl spirit to go around. So I'll be posting TABS here as well as going into Carter style playing and two finger playing. (originally a banjo technique) So if you have any song requests or questions,use the contact form and ask away!
