Musicals I’ve Written

Thy Silver Halide Vampyre:

Symphony Number One by Gary Jugert

I have about six minutes finished of what should end up being about an hour long symphony.

GadzUkes!

The Bloody Rebellion of a Voodoo Zombie Cheerleader and Her Vigilante Ukulele Jazz Orchestra

This zombie cheerleader musical is finished and some of my favorite stuff is posted.

School Girls vs. Aliens:

The Erotic Space Opera for Ukulele

This is my first musical I wrote. It’s finished and a lot of stuff is posted.

Still my favorite thing I’ve written.

And I saved the Harmony ukulele I used for my own personal museum.

Tiger Woods in Therapy:

A Psycho-Analysis by Ukulele

This musical is finished. Get this: single setting, three actors, and skimpy attire. Yay!

¿Creepy?

Transvestites in Paris Hiltonville: A piccolo (and ukulele) concerto

First draft done. Backing sheet music posted. I have plenty of work ahead to finish the melodies for the piccolo. Will tie it all together in April 2012 when I write the script.

The Praise of Folly:

Moriae Encomium by Desiderius Erasmus

This will be my project for summer 2012.

 Muddy’s: The Last Great Coffee House 

I just bought this book, but I already know it’s a musical just waiting to happen. If you were a patron of Muddy’s, please contact me with your memories.

This will be my project for summer 2013.

Ukulele Instruction

Jumping Flea Arpeggiator:

A gradus ad parnassum of fifteen stupidly difficult pieces in every major key for high G ukulele.

Play the Ukulele the Flying Spaghetti Monster Way:

A new method for ukulele filled with evil and disparaging remarks on the nature of humanity.

Poetry I’m Setting to Music

New Yorker by Ukulele:

My first songwriting project. (Don’t Go Here)

Mammoth Gardens:

The Story of Another Civilization. (My on-again, off again dactylic hexameter project.)

Songs Collections by Others

My Pious Friends and Drunken Companions for the 21st Century:

Drinking songs done old school. (Still trying time to research these. Maybe this is why Frank Shay did such an incomplete job.)

Melody Book:

Mostly vintage and a few modern songs I like. Stuff that I’ve worked on that doesn’t fit anywhere else.

Christmas Songs:

Nice arrangements for solo ukulele. Seriously … these are nice. You want them in your life.

Helpful Ukulele Items

Ukulele Circle of Fifths:

Very helpful for writing songs.

Random Key Generator:

Very helpful for forcing yourself to learn new keys.

Sheep Chord Finder:

Don’t forget to switch the tuning to C.

Toy Piano & Sound Engineering Stuff

My Toy Piano and Sound Engineering Page:

I’m working on some stuff for my Jaymar. And some other racket flops out of my Macintosh. They get along … mostly.
