STEVE i HAVE THE FINGERBONE RHYTHM GUITAR PART FOR YOU. Play around with drums,bass and solos, then we can start putting Bill in where he wants and piece the song together. I have the lyrics now too. I want space for a 3 part harmony chorus atn the end but first things first. We can break up the rhythm part as needed.

Gee - it'd be nice to hear this song!!!!!!??????

Feeling left out Pete? Wanna contribute? Go on - I dare ya!

I'm content just watching this one. If Scrumpy is involved, the results could be hilarious.

No SERIOUSLY - if Scrumpy's out do you want in? I'm sure Steve will be happy to stand aside for you.

I just downloaded it Allen. I'll e-mail it to you. Do you want vocals?

Hey Bill,
Since hearing that Holiday Jam I'm keener than ever that you stick a bit of your wonderful guitar skills on my Sin-thcity...
Just to give it a bit of class

I ain't hounding you, you understand.

DONE

Ok Allen. As soon as I finish eating I'll get right on it. Thank you!

Bill and Steve and whoever else is involved,

Is someone already playing a bass part?

Quite nice Stratman... great arrangements , playing. This is the first time ever I've actually wanted to outright steal someones elses music.

Allen, I want to re-do everything I did past your solo, if you don't mind. I just want to extend my ride cuz the way I played that section didn't properly develop the outro.

I need the tempo you used so I can insert the revised section.
thanks again!

Just to be clear, I understood this was a blues collab between the two of you.

If I remember correctly, I simply offered to do the drums as a result of a bit of banter about using MIDI in a blues song. Now there's talk of bass and lead and guitar etc from all over the place.

Personally speaking, and as I said before (I think I even suggested it?) - a blues based collab between you two would be awsome; I think that's maybe how you'd both like it to stay.

It's obviously up to you two if you want others contributing, but why don't we also resurrect the idea of a GT Forum collab on which we can all join in? I think with the talent we've got in here, a blues tune of some sort (but not jumping on Bill & Bills project) would be ideal for such a venture, but that's just my opinion.

If anyone's interested, we can start thinking about what we should do, and take it from there.

Steve

Do you still want to add the drum track?

Doc,


To me its all about the kids and the food.

Bah Humbug!!!

Steve

That's the way I see it Steve - us 2 Bills will see what we can do together (and maybe sub contract out parts where we need to - and I've got a sneaky feeling that the drums are going to fall into that category ). The old sayings "A camel is a horse designed by a committee" and "too many cooks.... etc.

That said, what is stopping anyone else starting their own collaborations? I think they're fun, it's good to bounce ideas off fellow musicians. There should be more of it here - such as Bill's recent collab with Allan. But if you keep it tight it's easier to manage. Organising musicians is a lot like hearding cats!
