Musicals I’ve Written (Am Writing)


vampire

Thy Silver Halide Vampyre:

Symphony Number One by Gary Jugert

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


zombieGadzUkes!

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. And some of the stuff that’s pure crap too.


altoidSchool 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
Tiger Woods in Therapy:

A Psycho-Analysis by Ukulele

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


¿Creepy?Creepy Guy

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.


buttThe Praise of Folly:

Moriae Encomium by Desiderius Erasmus.

Coming someday.


 Muddy’s: The Last Great Coffee House Coffee

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


I Play a Little Piano Too:

I’m working on playing every piece published in Pianist magazine. I’m working on some stuff for toy piano. I make racket flop out of my Macintosh. It’s all very high brow stuff.
