My father (1903-83) played ukulele and tenor banjo.
I was exposed to homemade music from an early age back in the 1940s.
My desire is to pass the idea of homemade music along to the next generation or two.

Cat In the Hamper (Lew Dite original)
Просмотров 7321 день назад
I wrote this song in 1984 for my dog, Jessie, and my late wife Kate's cat, Tigger. Based on fact… CHORUS: I'm a cat in the hamper and don't you tamper With my peace of mind Keep the dog away, while I lay In this hamper of mine You may think I'm crazy, if not plain lazy But this is not the case I'm lying down, hiding from the hound Cause I'm tired of the chase. Now a cat's life is easy, but stil...

I wrote this song in October 1997. Still true today if not more so. Now the stock markets up and wages are down What the hell's going on? The spin doctors say it is okay But we know there's something wrong. CHORUS: You know life is a gift and I wonder why We swallow all of this shit Why we sit around and don't hunker down And do a better job of it. Now companies move there production around The...
No Time For the Roses (Lew Dite original)

After posting my poem, "It's Over, It's Over, We Cannot Resist" it got me thinking about a song I wrote back in August 1996. I was visiting a friend at his country home on a lake northwest of Montreal. While sitting on a bench looking down the lake I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. I wrote this song while sitting there. We're rushing through life to get what we need We're told by the G...

I found this hand written poem on a loose sheet of paper in one of my old music books. I don't remember when I wrote it. Human Beings as we know them are on their way out That is the truth, there can be no doubt Life as we know it will come to an end Climate change is here now, we cannot pretend While we look for deals and shop at Walmart Life's essential needs we willingly depart More junk at ...

This is the last performance that I saw on Sunday, May 19th. This certainly lives up to the name "Porchfest" (a tight squeeze for the band).

Mark Pinkus plays original music. All pieces have been composed by him. His amazing talent is clear to see in this video. A beautiful way to start our Sunday afternoon at the NDG Porchfest.

Magnifique 😍
Great bird! Could you please sing a song with whistling?
It is lovely to be able to SEE what is around us, just to take the time & appreciate. I hope we can ALL learn to value the things around us & pick a very appropriate sound track 💕🥰
I thought arlo guthrie as a tribute to his mentor Pete Seeger
This is awesome! 🎉🎉❤❤🎉
Beautiful mate, adding it to my folk playlist for work, I've been playing this stuff over the loudspeaker of a night and people are loving it. Old fellas like you give young fellas like me faith- the important kind- faith in my fellow human beings.
Thanks for the feedback…
Life is almost always worth singing about. Another gem from the pen ! Cheers
Good song and finger bending! Could you play your original "Cat in the Hamper"? PS: You missed a verse. It comes right after the first verse and it goes: We pay our taxes, we pay our dues We do as we are told But the government's slick, so don't get sick And for God's sake don't get old
The 60s and 70s were a time when musicians dared to sing protest songs. Since then, they have become a rarity. We need more folks like this to try and open some eyes of the younger generation. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
What are you resisting?
We can't resist our environmentally destructive behaviour.
the good ones always die :(
👋
I lost you and Phillip and found he had passed so this is appropriate...I have his chapbook sent to me awhile ago now.. I am a dear fan of Leonard Cohen and found you and again now here...big hugs and love from New Zealand....
I wish I could disagree......but deep down I know there is a lot of truth in those lyrics. Maybe it's just our age? Thanks for sharing. Cheers
That's a rather bleak song, Mr. Lew Dite. I like the melody, though. Thank you.
I agree… that is why I did it in black and white video.
Well done, Sir! Sweet & old-timey…
How would you like to learn to play those harmonics, is there any special technique?
This is a classic.
Events like this make me wish I lived in the city...... sometimes 😂
I haven’t heard this song since college. I am now 82 and I still smile every time I hear it. Good memories . Thanks so much.
what an absolute treasure ...,,Love this kind of free flowing music that just carries me away on a breeze. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
So do i they should do one for the women
Thanks, John. The book is a real pleasure and has made playing favourite tunes very easy to pick through.
You are welcome… enjoy!
Thank you for demostration!
Well done! ♥
Love this!, thank you for sharing.
Would really enjoy it even more with a couple more verses . Please.
thank you i sang this song with my son
You sing good
Could you please play "A Little Bitty Tear" by Burl Ives?
Whenever I hear this, it feels like Christmas.
Hi there! May I know the title of the song?
love this
Thank you!
Truck
I like it!
Phenomenal job! Could you please play Hobo's Lullaby?
In my head i dance to the tune❤
Love this!
🎉🎉
Love it!
Sounds great, Lew.
What a great tune.....well done Sir ! Cheers
Beautiful lewdite. Could you play and sing “all jolly fellows” on baritone ukulele? It’s a very catchy English tune.
I'm sorry, I don't know that song.
Lewdite your music is very special. These old songs are what I was brought up with and I love music from England and the British isles. Your music influences mine. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback… much appreciated. Happy strumming!
