Lately, I’ve been trying to teach myself to play this infectious David Myles tune on the famous little green kiwi ukelele in between my weekly Thursday lessons. The song was the 2009 Great American Song Contest First Place Winner in the Contemporary Acoustic/Folk Category.
Then in 2012, this Halifax singer was named Songwriter of the Year at Canada’s East Coast Music Awards show. I’m such a big fan! While I’m noodling away here on this little musical project, listen to the original “When It Comes My Turn”, enjoy David’s lyrics (below), check out his new album In The NightTime, (while you’re on his site, watch the official video of his unofficial anti-bullying theme song “Inner Ninja” (with fellow Nova Scotian, Classified) and best of all, sing along OUT LOUD!
It’s so good for the heart. ♥

Q: Do you know an irresistible song that does your heart good?

I’m partial to Kelly Clarkson’s “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger” It’s been my mantra for at least a year!

I recently put together a playlist on my Hopeful Heart Songs 🙂
Also, do you play the ukelele or piano or some instrument involving strings?

Almost any song sung by Tom Lehrer —- but that’s just my twisted mind.

Oh, good one, Cave! Here’s a classic Tom Lehrer favourite of recovering Catholics everywhere, The Vatican Rag from 1967.

I LOVE IT! I can see you “noodling away” on your green ukulele learning this wonderful tune. The image and thought are SO good for the heart as well as the words to the song. Thank you for sharing this part of your life. It makes me feel like I know you a little better.
