Thanks for the Templeton link. It looks like a great collection. The only problem is there isn't a single song on there I've ever heard before!
Regarding fees for tabs, I guess it's in line with everything else out there. But it would mean the site needs to weed out a lot of the "junk" tabs, as I'd be pretty pissed if I paid money for some of the user-submitted material on the site now.
Well said, teimoso.
And thanks for the Tiny Tim tip. Being 44 years old, I remember Tiny Tim from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In in the 1960's. Most ukulele players would rather not be associated with "Tiptoe Thru The Tulips," though.
The songs I am learning are more like "Ain't She Sweet" and "You Are My Sunshine." Vaudeville was not an accurate description, as these are really more in the category of "Roaring Twenties." Most of these songs would be long forgotten without mediums like Chordie to keep them alive.
Man, if only lawyers understood. Why don't they get that it's sites like these that keep the songs alive and make people want to go out and buy records they haven't heard in years?
Having bought my first ukulele this past year, I've been scouring this site for old vaudeville-type songs to have on hand when my family gets together for the holidays. There are still plenty of old folks who are going to love it.
To make sure I've got all the melodies and lyrics right, I've actually been buying Mitch Miller and Al Jolson CDs that I never would have thought of buying if this site hadn't inspired me and reminded me that these songs exist.
As a former professional recording musician, I am dead set against illegal downloading of copyrighted recordings. However, the chord changes???? C'mon. Those with the publishing rights will make up for the loss through the sales of albums that haven't moved in years!
Not that I'm "two-timing" this excellent site or anything, but recently, while searching for some tunes that aren't available here, I've been running into tab sites that have been shut down due to legal actions taken against them.
I'm just wondering if I need to start hoarding tabs in anticipation of a shutdown of this site. That'd be the saddest day of my life...
Thank you! NOW life is good!
This is an excellent site. My only frustration (aside from occasional bad formatting on certain pages) is that I constantly have to click on that dopey little dropdown box and select my instrument for every tab.
Now that I'm a "member," is there any way to customize my viewing options so it can automatically go to ukulele/C-tuning?
