Joe Caruso Music
Канада
Добавлен 12 фев 2019
Many of my elderly relatives were stuck in their homes due to COVID. Those in retirement homes were confined to their little apartment, not allowed outside. I did a concert for one aunt and uncle, but then decided to record/post/share videos on a regular basis - "Monday Morning Music". They may elderly and not too tech savvy, but know how to use Google, which is the reason for all the videos starting with "Play Me A Song Joe" - they can search and find them easily. Later, I came across the York Region Open Mic FB page, courtesy of a friend and began to post my videos there. I made great online friendships and with lockdown lifted, I'm thrilled to meet them in person.

Villa Da Vinci Retirement home. 97% Italian. They LOVE to sing a long. I didn't expect that and it was great thrill. I'm humbled that I have been asked back. Sound is not the greatest, we were very limited as to where we could put our camera. Thanks to my "roadie" Daniel (guy in the red hoodie).

A short and sweet song. My Dubliner friend tells me this is the unofficial anthem of Dublin. There is no evidence that there ever was a real Molly Malone as per the song. A statue representing Molly Malone was unveiled on Grafton Street by then Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ben Briscoe, during the 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations. This video contains a photo of that statue. I do not own copyright to...

Просмотров 322 года назад
"Summertime" by George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward. Written for Gershwin's brand-new opera Porgy and Bess, it is a jazz-inspired lullaby. It is likely the most covered song in history. I'm playing my resonator box guitar on this song, it just feels so right.

Written by Eric Bogle, a Scottish folk singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Scotland, he emigrated to Australia at the age of 25, to settle near Adelaide, South Australia. Bogle's songs have covered a variety of topics, and have been performed by many artists. He is a Member of the Order of Australia. I think you can easily pair this song with "River" by Bill Staines, simply, another song abou...

Play Me A Song Joe 61 Blue Moon
Просмотров 242 года назад
Cover of "Blue Moon", a oldie but goodie standard covered by many artists. Written by Rodgers and Hart in 1934. A big hit for Al Bowlly in 1934 and Mel Torme 1948. Importantly, it may be the first instance of the familiar “50s progression”, I-vi-IV-V, in a popular song. In 1961, "Blue Moon" became an international number one hit for the doo-wop group The Marcels and of course when you hear Sha-...
Play Me A Song Joe 60 Pussywillows Cattails
Просмотров 1102 года назад
My cover of the first song I ever learned to finger pick many moons ago - Pussywillows Cattails. Not much background available on this song. Lightfoot notes the inspiration for the song came from being around streams and wetlands when growing up in Orillia, Ontario. I had a very brief dialogue with Gordon Lightfoot one day. He frequents the health club in the same building as my family doctor's...

Просмотров 242 года назад
"Back Home in Derry" is an Irish rebel song written by Bobby Sands while imprisoned in HM Prison Maze. The song was covered by Christy Moore in 1984, who recorded it borrowing the melody from Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald“. The lyrics describe the voyage of convicted Irish rebels, sent to exile in Australia, in the aftermath of the Irish Rebellion of 1803. I do not own ...

Play Me A Song Joe 45 Don't Think Twice
nice review - and the sandpaper might be for the frets ;-) - I have an 8string Tenor Ukulele from Lanikai
Just got one in UK £70. What a bargain, beautifully finished and a beautiful sound, very bright.
very avant garde to have the lyrics of a completely different song on screen or maybe whoever made this was just too much of an idiot to write the lyrics down correctly...
The price of this ukulele has almost doubled in 1 year.
Thank you so much for the review. I've been looking at that one comparing to the kala 8 string E. I've heard complaints that the chord strings for harder to press down for sound on the Kala. What about this one? I have a friend who has an 8 string that is not longer available and it extremely easy to press on the chords strings. I sure would appreciate your thoughts. No one mentions the closeness of strings to bar or how hard it is or isn't hard to press down. Thank you so much...Cely from Florida
No longer available 🥺
Fabulous review!! I'm thinking maybe the sandpaper is enough to make the frets smother on the sides? Thanks for the great great review!!
My favourite song by Stan Rogers
This has to be one of the most poignant love songs ever written or sang! We, Canada, and indeed, the world, were robbed of this man's genius far too soon!
Excellent version. A big thank you, Joe.
This song reminds me of how I felt the 1st winter I moved from Texas to work in the oil fields of Wyoming. And here I am, 17 years later, still an idiot I suppose!
Fantastic review thanks
Thank you for the kind words! 😊
Terrific review, Joe, this is one to add to our collection!
Thank you for the kind words! 😊
I want it!!!!
the sandpaper (so I was told) is because sometimes the frets are sharp when you slide you hand up and down the neck. So I guess you can smooth the frets off by yourself with the sandpaper. (hopefully this would be done at the factory)
Thanks. Got it! I did order an Aklot Banjolele with frets that cut my finger - I did fix that with a fret file. I think the sandpaper would not have been enough.
Yes, them pickups are great. Got one with the volume adjustments.
What was the brand name? I didn’t know there was one with adjustments. Thanks.
Pretty cool. How do I buy it here in Asia?
I bought mine from Amazon. Suggest you check there.
I realised why this uke's strings go through the deck. They used to have a tiebar, and sometimes the bridge broke. The tension of 8 strings is much more than 4, so it is safer to put them through the bridge (and deck).
Good point Leena - thank you for your input
Thank you for this 🥰
You’re very welcome.
I found this song by a accident I actually like it normally don't care for songs the first time I hear them but this I just put it on repeat for 6 hours
I'm glad you're enjoying it. 🙂

I find it a fun, lively song to play and sing!
Stephen Colbert and Jack White brought me here... and I think I'll stay a good long while. <3
Enjoy. Pure poetry put to music in my humble opinion.
Stan was a pure poet! I'm so happy Stephen took some time to highlight his music! If Stan had lived a little longer, I do believe he'd be a household name, like Gordon lightfoot or Joni Mitchell.
Thank you NPR
You're welcome. Enjoy. 😊
I a idiot I suppose too lol
Oooh I think we're all guilty at one time or another. 😊
Thank you
You're welcome. 😊

You're welcome. 😊

My Name is Virginio Ricci and I want you to know that Joe Caruso is our nephew and we really like his songs. If it is possible I would like to put his songs on list with the rest of the singers. Thank-you.
