Wayne “Led” Sorbelli’s Led Zep Tribute Show “Rock & Roll” on electric ukuleles Key West Theater 7/31/21

‘Twas a beautiful July 31st evening, 2021 at the Key West Theater benefiting Nicky’s Celebration (a local non-profit helping local families fight pediatric cancer).  

Me and my very recently assembled Wayne “Led” Sorbelli’s Tribute to Led Zeppelin Show band consisting of 12 of the loveliest, hardest working musicians I know, rotating duties as their personal and professional schedules provided, worked up 12 of Zep’s greatest hits for the event.

I am very proud of everyone I worked with and the results. Look at song credits for a list of a names of my friends/players/cancer fighters/cancer survivors/and those like myself who had lost someone very close to them via cancer.  We assembled and kicked cancers ass on that night.  We raised peace signs, fists, hope, and many screaming testimony’s!!!  

No better way to start something like this than to come out of the gate shooting from the hip with my little electric ukulele – it’s the smallest thing I play but makes ME feel way way bigger than I am – so it empowers me on stage – funny? – I guess – but it’s the truth.  So I felt like a giant on stage playing a pretty easy guitar song (that’s a joke) on a little ukulele with a guitar pickup installed in it .   It was a way to empower me and set the theme for the night’s comings – we were going to kick cancer in the balls on this night like giants.  Like the Hammer of the Gods!!!! (But in our own Key West kind of quarkie weird little island way)

Greetings my fret loving friends! Wayne Sorbelli here on the island of Key West. My music store is is OPEN. I’m am teaching private in person, or online Skype, FaceTime & Zoom students but using my other time to record some songs and make some lessons and lifestyle videos. If you enjoy the content, please subscribe and share – many thanks in advance !

I took a walk to a secluded beach while writing a song i’ve been calling “The Lemon Family Tree” and then played it while sitting in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s about making the best with what you’ve got – you know the classic lemons into lemonade – or my metaphor of bagging cow pellets & selling as fertilizer lol

Lyrics :

  • We all know, the story of Family Lemon
  • Made their fortune, with drinks, stands and sellin’
  • they Didn’t sit around cryin, bout what Santa didn’t bring

jammin

  • If life Hands you, a pile of cow pellets
  • bag it up man, bag it up and sell it
  • somewhere right now, someone’s got a garden to grow

jammin

repeat

Greetings Wayne here! I sure hope everyone is staying inside, brushing the dust off their ukuleles and guitars and getting busy on them while doing your part to say inside and stay safe and help stop the spread of COVID19 virus. Unfortunately all UKEOUT jam sessions, ukulele open mic nights, and the Monthly Green Parrott Ukulele Orchestra Meeting Night is canceled APRIL 2020 and until notice. Pleased check back.

In order to pass the quarantine “state-of-settle-in” time easier and maybe even with some benefits and true life satisfaction and overall happiness increase, i’m pulling out the old guitars and musical instruments and taking advantage of the time instead of sitting around crying about being locked in.

I’ve got live 1-on-1 SKYPE ZOOM and FACETIME lesson spots open 30 minute or 1 hour. Now is abetter time than ever to give it a try or pick up where you left off – weather it was right before quarantine or not since you where in college – time to get back to it – its the perfect time .

I teach any size Ukulele, banjolele, Uke Bass, acoustic electric or nylon string guitar, Bass guitar, or Cigar Box Guitar or any other stringed home made guitar type instrument. I specialize in slide guitar in regular standard tuning listen to and love everything from Abba to BBKing, Hank Williams to ZZTop, Metallica to SRV and all between.
