UCL LEVEL 1 - WEEK 2
"DEM BONES"
As we head into October you will explore some of the spookier song repertoire starting with DEM BONES. This song was composed by the Johnson brothers back in the 1920s and first released by The Famous Myers Jubilee Singers in 1928.
Both a long biblical version and a shortened simplified, (Ukulele friendly) version of the song are widely known. You will explore the simplified version but with a key change!
