I'm currently away sans ukulele, but I'm going to try playing Lee Greenwood's God Bless The USA when I get home. I'm thinking this might be a future solo for me to sing with uke accompanyment.
I've never played it on any instrument it before, and I've only sung it once in public (probably accurate to say 'once, period'), several years ago. Coincidentally this was in a spontaneous duet with our current uke Music Director. He and I were about to attend a (small) Memorial Day ceremony when the thought occurred to me. I knew he'd have no trouble harmonizing if I sang the melody line, and he agreed, and proceeded to talk to the event organizer. We encouraged a singalong by anyone in the audience who knew the song.
Of course, there's no way I could come close to matching Lee Greenwood singing this song, especially having seen him perform live at a Monaco RV rally several years ago.
