Greetings fellow and aspiring Seasonistas!
Data (n=1, last week) shows that posting a SOTU theme early didn't seem to bother anyone and was appreciated by at few, so allow me a slightly early introduction to the Season of the Cuckoo'kulele!
I'm doing something a little different (*ahem @joo ) than I've done in the past by putting a together short intro video, below.
It has some basics of the theme and an intro song, but the most important bit is after the song... and I mean every word!
To expand and add few additional thoughts...
The Theme (options)
The theme for this week is to bring a song that has something to do with mental health.

Cheers and have fun! or get serious... or feel feelings or reflect or share or reach out to someone who might need you to reach out or reach out to someone if you yourself need to reach out.

The Theme (options)
The theme for this week is to bring a song that has something to do with mental health.
- Songs with words like mental, crazy, mad, insane, loony, lunatic, cuckoo, bonkers, bananas, depression, etc
- Please note that I'm not downplaying the seriousness of mental health issues by my Season title.. it just rhymes
- Songs need not be serious! Seriously crazy is fine by me too.
- These words should be in context of mental health... bananas or mad as in crazy... not as in fruit or angry.
- All mental health disorders welcome... OCD, bipolar, anxiety, eating disorders, Schizophrenia, PTSD, narcissistic personality disorder, etc
- Songs that are uplifting or supportive or provide coping mechanisms for folks who might be going thru some tough times or deal with mental illness
- Songs that are written or sung by an artist going through some or dealing with mental illness
- Songs that are written in the perspective of a person going through some or dealing with mental illness
- FOR YOU CLASSICAL PLAYERS!! Bring a piece by a composer who had a bout with mental illness. A quick google search found me this...
The Rules
- No limit to number of entries. Play away and free!
- Videos should be recorded for this week. Usual exceptions apply.
- Collaborations and multi-tracking are welcomed. As always, the 'ukulele must be in the forefront.
- No videos should be posted before 12:00 AM Hawaii time, Sunday 3/3/2024.
- Season ends at 11:59:59 PM Hawaii time next Sunday, 3/10/2023.
- New Seasonistas may sing any song they want in any style with any amount of production or lack thereof. BE FREE!!
- I'll be choosing a winner (or two or three or whatever I feel like) to receive a postcard painted by me.
- Any new Seasonistas this week will receive a postcard painted by me.
- If you've been thinking about joining and you've read this far... DO IT!!!
- Any Seasonista who signs up to host a future season at any point during the week will receive a postcard painted by me.
- If you've been thinking about hosting a season and you've read this far... DO IT!!
- It may be a bit time consuming, but it's also fun and rewarding and a completely different SOTU experience.
- I truly hope I get overwhelmed with the amount of postcards I'll have to paint after this season!
- The traditional tattoo world has applied this religious image called the 'Rock of Ages' for decades.
