Let's not chase away a fairly large % of this forum's singers. If this project is going to succeed, I don't think a group of us should be taken out of our comfort zone. I'm a singer first, then a kb player. I think several others are also...

If guys want to do this, let's keep it an ongoing project. Let's start with a song from the 1990's or newer...Call that the June song...you wanna sing, cool...just an instrumental, equally cool...

In July, we ask for renditions of a tune from the 80's...

In August, the 70's, in September, the 60's and so on till we hit the 20's and before. Perhaps start all over again and keep repeating. Who knows?

We'll cover a variety of different popular styles. What fits one person like a glove one month, won't the next...We'll all do stuff we feel great about...and some stuff that maybe isn't our favorite.

Pick a month for country...it merits its own...

Something like that...No "best of" awards or ratings systems, etc. Every poster does so with the knowledge that some will like it and some probably won't. Play nice...no cheap or personal shots, it could be fun.

We're not trying to split the atom, just share music amongst cyber acquaintances. For simplicity sake, I would say...since this is an arranger KB forum, the submissions should be arranger based, with no overdubbing. Once a tune is covered, no one else can submit that one. (That will avoid direct comparisons to keep it friendly...) This isn't a recording project, its something to see how guys approach a tune and utilize the tools they and their arranger have to perform it...

Thoughts?




I think that I agree to everything.

Actually started to write a post like "if you want to sing, then sing if you don't, then don't sing, just play the music"... then I realised you wrote the same thing.

And I agree with Diki, ANYONE can do it. Anyone that wants, that is.
