CONGRATULATIONS to Jane Fisher, a member of The Nancies!!! She won first place in the Open Section of the APRA Ukulele contest with her song "Dreamin'"!!!!
She was inspired to write the song after one of our practises where we had been discussing our dreams earlier in the week. Here are the lyrics! Listen to the song on the Art of Nelson

"I'm in a deep sleep and I'm Dreamin', oh yeah,
I'm lookin' ahead and Stevie Nicks is dancin'
Her arms float in the air her black dress blowing in the breeze
Now tell me what on earth does that mean??!!
I'm in a deep sleep and I'm Dreamin', oh yeah,
I'm walking around inside a beauty parlour, oooooooohhhhhhhh
The walls are filled with hanging mirrors of every shape and size
Now tell me what on earth does that mean??!!
OOOOOOhhhhh, I'm going to the library
OOOOOOhhhhh, I'm gunna take a book out
OOOOOOhhhhh, I'm writing them down don't help me
I'll see what Freud does with a goodnight kiss
I'm in a deep sleep and I'm Dreamin', oh yeah,
I'm reading a mag and waiting for my Dr oooooooooohhhhhhhhh
His white coat and his stethoscope are all that he has on
Now tell me what on earth does that mean??!!
I'm in a deep sleep and I'm Dreamin', oh yeah,
A couple o' guys and I have got to choose one oooooooohhhhhhhh
He coated me in honey from my head down to my toes
Now tell me what on earth does that mean??!!"
Isn't it great!! I'll let you all guess who dreamt what................................wink wink say no more.
She is going to be in the Leader next week and interviewed on MoreFM sometime soon.
Well done Jane - she's very modest actually, but a very very clever song writer, singer and musician.
More about our gig at Riverside soon.............

Congrats to Jane (and Kath for the Little help)and the rest of the band for giving us so much pleasure when you sing together...
I also like the song about gays and lesbians being everywhere!! Hmmm, I wonder why?) Who wrote it?
Catch up soon, Busy Bee?
Thanks Debs!! Nice to know we give you pleasure - that's a very cool feeling......And yes, I wonder why you like that particular song????? ;)

Oh and I think a NZer wrote it - although I was under the impression it was an Aussie....I'll check with Jane!
congrats, Jane. I've blogged a piece about you over at Ukulelia
Hey Gary! Nice to have you comment! I've been to yours - it's cool! Jane will love it!!
Congratulations! The song sounds great. Are you planning to make the chords available for aspiring ukulele players?
Hi Ukulele Mike! I will have to ask Jane about that! I'll email her right now!
Well, I'm not surprised at all... Albeit belatedly. Her Ukulele is like an extension of her arms and she has such a lovely voice.
