Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head

Posted on September 13, 2020 by Anne Ku

For participants in my half-hour workshop at Port Townsend virtual ukulele festival 2020, I gave a 14-page slide presentation of the hit song “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” from the movie “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”. It won an Oscar for best song.

The introductory tune was played on a ukulele. The one page song sheet of my arrangement of”Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” is given on page 13 of the festival booklet (or just click on the sample image below).
