    Mmmm... I wrote and recorded a song for my 5 year anniversary... it's not specifically "in the style of" anyone but myself. Maybe I should just enter it.

    Meron... I've sent you a PM regarding this.
      Wracking my brains. I think I poxed myself with this challenge. So many ideas and so little time........
      Hopefully this weekend
        Got some ideas, was jamming something out last night. I can manage on bass, but guitar is going to be a big stretch- which is good
          Also had a jam last nite, wanted to get a bass groove out of my head.

          Was going well until I tried to add some guitar, then it went down a familiar route I'm wanting to avoid this time around (ambient). So easy to get back into old patterns!
            I have no idea what to enter for this. Most of my playing style is what I learned from the books used during lessons, so mostly Randy Willhite...
            I took up guitar because I wanted to play killer metal riffs and shred like a boss, but I'm past that now.

            So I really do not have a clue.

              Sometimes, but not for this one.

              Lullaby? I've a few up my sleeve for nephew & niece...surprisingly the irish sister in law frowns upon whisky in their <juice> bottles :?
                Don't think i'm gonna make this one. Too many work engagements and year end approaching at warp speed. I might throw something in on 99 if I get the time.
                "In the style of" - sjoe...that's impossible for me right now. Thinking of doin a cover, if i can find a decent place to figure out what is in the public domain... any resources? (found some beetles stuff...but...nah, not my cuppa)
                  I wrote a song over the weekend (sheet music). It will require some finger-picking in parts (not very difficult), but my level of finger-picking involves me attempting to learn it over the past 3 weeks, in-between all my other playing.

                  Anyone interested to collaborate?

                        This!

                        Makes me really happy to see a collaboration - nice one gents!
                          I purchased Band in a Box by PG software.
                          I am quite chuffed and really inspired to get my entry going before the deadline. BTW nice one Hasie and PaulE for the collab

                            It seems like we're going to be three. Lu22 will do bass and probably a lot of the mixing and mastering. I hope Paul does not mind. ?

                              This is great stuff, do it!

                              I've got two idea's, both via jams. One funky (ala Vulfpeck) and one kinda Pop-ish (ala Violent Femmes) . Hmm...which one. which one...

                                Nice one gents! I was "this" close to volunteering for the part Hasie, but wasn't sure if I was going to have the time and didn't want to disappoint.

                                Looking forward to hearing the entries.

                                  Got it, thanks!

                                  How's everyone else coming along?

                                  I've chosen an idea, it's kinda fun - and, unfortunately, I'm not straying too far from my comfort zone on this one 8)

                                    I've got an idea, have sequenced some drums and fiddle, just need to pull the trigger on recording. Hoping to rig up a recording buffer tonight, based on this, then I can lay down bass (looking forward to) and guitar (freaking out about).
