Mother's Day

If there is a ward in the history of the church that does not allow the primary kids to go up to the podium and sing a song for Mother's Day then I am fairly certain they are not following all of the official instructions of the church.  It is essentially universal that the primary sings for the mom's on Mother's Day.

That being said, we were on vacation for mom's big day and our kids were not at their home ward.  We still convinced our oldest to get up on stage and sing with a brand new primary group, but our middle child was too shy.

So, despite not singing the song they had practiced, we sang and played the uke versions, which, with our poor singing, did nothing to make up for the lost experience.  It is quite fun to watch the primary sing to the moms.  Well, some of the kids are singing, some are picking their noses, hiding, or just staring blankly into the congregation with.

Going to Vegas

This week my wife, three daughters, and I will be heading to sunny warm Las Vegas staying in a timeshare type condo with heated pools and nothing to do!  We plan on doing some hikes maybe visiting family in St George, but mostly, sitting on our behinds and being lazy. 

So, to honor our trip to the city where all your dreams come true, I present, "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief."  While the song is about helping others and when we help others it is as if we are helping God, I am very very very loosely interpreting the title because if I gamble, I will become poor, and then my wife will not love me as much (girls dont love boys, girls love cars and money...right?), which will cause me such grief, resulting in me wayfaring about with a giganormous beard pushing a shopping cart.

Favorite Hymn

My favorite hymn: Although not in the current hymn book.

Everybody probably already knows which hymn I am talking about: Come, Thou Font of Every Blessing.  It was taken out of the 1985 version of the Hymn book, but is a super popular hymn since BYU and MOTAB have done amazing renditions of it (you know, that 80's video of the lady crying while singing...with like gallons of tears flowing out her eyes).  I transferred it to Uke tablature and it sounds good too.  It is not too difficult to play.  Enjoy!

My Favorite Primary Song 

Probably my favorite primary song is, "Love is Spoken Here."  My kids here my wife and I sing it so much, but they dont know the real title.  They just call it , "Mother kneeling."  When they say it, they sound more like, "Mudder Neelin' " 

The girl's part is first and is on top, then the boys part is below.  Fortunately, it is a fairly easy piece to learn and play.  The chords are all pretty easy as well.  However, I can't stand the Bflat chord.  It is like torture on my big fat fingers. 

Anyway, without further fuss:

Moroni's Ukulele

This is a blog dedicated to providing Latter Day Saints hymns with ukulele tabs, chords, and vocals (along with the piano notes). I have transferred many of my favorite songs, please feel free to comment and request a favorite personal song for yourself and anyone you love.   I will add as time permits, and situations allow.

To get a song, you will have to navigate to "LDS Songs Tab" page and then follow the links to the songs you want.

You will need a PDF viewer obviously.  Go to Adobe and get it, if bought your first computer yesterday and don't have one (or if you recently emerged from 30 years of hibernation).

Also please feel send me errors and omissions in the PDFs.
