Dear ForumMonkeys,

I am coming to terms with the fact that, at my age, and health issues, I may never see a stage, let alone attain popularity. I am a mediocre player and a horrible singer. Having given up my drivers license, due to stroke, and inability to play to modern standards, due to arthritis, I am coming to terms with the fact that I may have no other alternative than to sell my songs off, or donate them.

I, for one, do not like the idea of outright selling them, therefore, I would like to know if you guys would be interested in recording some of them, as a group. You would be free to alter the arrangements, lyrics and individual parts, to showcase your own styles. While it would be nice to retain the overall feel of a song, I am not going to be picky.

I want no compensation for any of them, only that I be listed as original composer, when appropriate.


With kidney failure a looming possibility, I do not know how many years I have left and would love to see some of my songs recorded, mastered and released by truly talented people.

Regardless of your decision, thanks for at least considering it,
Drew

Some songs are unfinished and a few are covers. Ignore the covers.

I for one Am honored that you would ask.
 
We'll have a band meeting (we actually call it a flinging party, but I digress) and discuss it I'm sure.

Hey Drew,
 
Our lawyers are checking into our record contract to see if we're allowed to do this.
 
So far it's not looking good.
 
We've run out of bananas.

What is it exactly that is blocking us? Written, signed permission? I can provide that with a decent address to mail it to.

We appreciate the offer but we're going pass on this opportunity. We've decided that we are going to focus our time on our own originals.
 
Thanks again for thinking of us. We wish you the best in your endeavors.

Sorry mate. We all barely get the time to do our own things.

No problem mates! I am honored you even spent the time to discuss it. =)
