Ukefarm Radio has recently added our song "Junebug" to it's playlist. Oh yeah! John Baxter (Ukefarm's founder) is quickly becoming one of our biggest supporters with five tracks from "Constellation" making it to his airwaves so far! Go Ukefarm, Go!
This tune started out as a piece Timothy Jay came up with and then Chris and I added our two cents. It burst into existence in full form the very first time we played it together, just improvising our way around TJ's initial musical inspiration.

To me it feels like there are three melodies playing at once in places, like our three instruments are out for a walk together, each with their own particular gait. They all come together for a moment occasionally and then go on walking. Timothy Jay's on an acoustic uke, (a DaSilva pineapple tenor made entirely of bamboo!) Chris is on an electric bass and I'm twangin' my RISA LP electric uke, which is doubled here and there.
Check it out, along with many other incredible uke-centric artists, both up-and-coming independents and well-known staples of the instrument over at Ukefarm Radio:
AND…. If anybody knows where the flying elephant image at the top of this post came from please contact us and let us know. I'm not sure why it seems to fit with this song. There's no cat in it, and the animals aren't out for a walk, but for some reason it just feels right to me.
We're not releasing a single of Junebug, but if we were I'd want to use that image and I have no idea who to ask for permission or who to give credit to (or who to expect to have to pay!). And yes, I've searched the interwebs and came up empty. Anybody know of a search engine that takes images instead of words?
