Welcome to Season 673. I hope you can bring me a song about an empire, or with the name of an emperor or empress. This can be part of the lyrics, the song title, the name of the artist/group.
Option 1: Songs about empires, be they ones from the many cultures from our past, or modern empires
Option 2: You can also bring music from films or TV series about emperors/empresses or empires, from popular culture/literature/etc. Both historic and fictive names are allowed.
Option 3: (new Seasonistas only): jump on board and bring any song you like or what you're working on.
Other rules as usual (see the Seasons of the Ukulele FAQ if you don't know what that means)
New videos only please (with the usual exemptions), posted on YouTube so that they can be added to the playlist, and please say either in the video or description that it's for Seasons of the Ukulele 673 Empires. It'd also be really nice to put a link to this post so that people who stumble on your video on youtube know what we're up to.
Please, do not post more than 8 videos. The end of the week is just as good as the beginning, if you ask me. However, if spreading your entries out doesn't work for you, then post them when and as you can.
If you are fortunate to have an open mic locally, and you put together a set with several songs that fit this theme, I'll happily listen to your set. The songs from your open mic video will count as separate songs since I don't have as much spare time as I had last year.
Originals, multitracking and collaborations welcome. I always enjoy having several versions of a song. Nobody 'beats' you to a song, for only you can do 'you'.
I would like to ask that you include the songwriters or performers in your post if you do not want to include the information in the YouTube description. Every week I hear a lot of new music on the Seasons, and it's nice to know the name of the song, band and composers if I want to check out other versions.
Don't forget to listen to and comment on other songs too! It's very inspiring to hear and see the different playing styles and techniques. Let people know how awesome they are!
You can post any time from 00:00:00 Sunday 5 January Hawaiian time, right up to 23:59:59 on Sunday 12 January Hawaiian time.
