Diki, you mentioned this in a previous post. Sounds like a fun project. How would we do it? What tune? Who would do what? I could get my drummer to put down tracks from the DM10 but I'm not set up to mike acoustic drum tracks (you'd have to do that if that's what you wanted). Could we get a few other SZ guys involved? Would any want to . Russ plays both guitar and organ so we could possibly get some real guitar tracks. Then of course, there's Rory (if he would do it) who could probably do any part from kazoo to tuba . Russ could probably also do some nice horn lines (I like doing those but mine sound kind of amateurish). Plenty of good singers, depending on the genre'. Once we came up with a basic track, maybe one or two would volunteer. I'd love to get Randy (Saxxman) in on it; I really like some of his stuff, especially the Boney James/jazz fusion type stuff. Naturally, in addition to your piano duties (and anything else you want to contribute), you would have the honor of mixing and mastering this masterpiece. If it's a hit, after I take my 50%, you guys can split the rest .

Seriously, this could be a fun project if we don't take it too seriously or rush it. If there is a conflict of ideas, we could always do alternate versions once we agree on a basic rhythm track/(s). Just no midi and no arranger styles. What do you think? No deadline, no pressure. Any other solid players, amateur or pro, that want to participate, speak up (preference given to those who have played in a GOOD band and/or have good arranging skills/experience). No guarantees, though, that your contribution would make the final cut (decided by committee ).

LET'S DO IT!
