Dont Laugh At Me - Ukulele Cover

SOTU239 Country Folk. "Don't Laugh at Me" is a song written by Allen Shamblin and Steve Seskin, and recorded by American country music artist Mark Wills. The song received Country Music Association nominations for Country Music Association's Single, Song and Video of the Year in 1998.
Peter Yarrow attended a performance by co-writer Seskin at the Kerrville Folk Festival, which led to his recording the song with Peter, Paul and Mary. The song helped inspire Yarrow to found the non-profit organization Operation Respect, promoting tolerance and civility programs in education. The organization distributes curriculum programs under the "Don't Laugh At Me" name.[10] In conjunction with this program, the song has been made into a children's book including an afterword by Yarrow. Part of the proceeds from the book go to Operation Respect.

Such a special song! Having another listen.

Stunning vocal in a phenomenal song. I've heard this one before, but it never sounded better than right now. Right here. As beautiful as beautiful gets, my friend. So so fine!

[berniarmstrong]

This is a heart wrenching song, sensitively sung. The chubby kid who was useless at sports that I was is filling up here.

[MrSjpsjp]

Don't think I have heard this before, but from your performance I can see why it got those nominations. Superb.

[Frisbeefred]

Folk songs really suit you. Very nice. Love the design on the fretboard.

[Jazzbanjorex]

Wow. What a song you have chosen there Linda. You did a wonderful job of playing this song the way it should be played. Made me do a little introspection.
Darn you! Lol.

[AlanThornton]

Wow! A great song and a great story!
Thanks dear pal!
This is a beaut.

[kolibriuker]

Wonderful interpretation of a great song!

[TootlinGeoff]

That's a terrific song, Linda and really well sung too.

[lauriemilliron]

Very pretty! I had to read through your introduction because I knew that I knew the performer. When I finally got to the part that said Peter Paul and Mary I felt relief. You know, like when you think you recognize someone in a movie and you finally have to google it:)

[limousinlil]

Oh, what lovely lyrics! You're cover of this is beautiful, Linda!

[Astronomater]

another masterwork of yours Linda. great effort!
