As a member of the Westside Ukulele Ensemble, I have been exposed to a lot of great ukulele music. As a film editor, one of the small perks is being able to choose music to be used in the projects that I work on. I recently had the opportunity to do so for the ABC TV series Castle, which airs Monday nights at 10PM. The song is "Longing to Belong," by Eddie Vedder. This lovely ukulele song will be featured in the episode that will air on 10/15/2012. You can hear the song here.
One of our members is also a cellist, and she was kind enough to bring her cello to the last rehearsal, and accompanied us on "Eleanor Rigby." It was sublime. Now, I am hoping to see if I can get her to accompany me on "Longing to Belong," which also features a cello!
That's one great thing about being part of theis group of people, most of whom are in the Venice, Santa Monica, or Mar Vista area. We get to find all kinds of connections with each other, through the ukulele!
