[calling card]

Ok just adding to my suggestion of calling this thing Lying Brian, I butchered Kristies theme into this. Don't matter if it's no good to ya, just chucking in an idea.

lying Brian look at the mess you got me in
my bookkeeping is a pile of trash
who knows what happened to the cash

I know you aint real but my woes sure are
shoulda learnt my lesson by now
need an expert who'll charge by the hour

lying Brian you got it so wrong I feel like crying
lying Brian should be you who's dying...

[dayl]

Ah bugger, I wanna play too. No net n shizzle tho (cept fot the librarys 30min grace).

Choice. If anyone steps up the the microphone, they will have ultimate say on what they sing.
Any further ideas will be added to the pot.

Update: Bb voicing fixed to actually be a Bb...

Jimi has reported in on the bass front, more later when his schedule is known.

CD & Gelato, give me a yell when you have some idea about what you'd like to do.
There is space assigned for an 8-bar solo after the first chorus, some background widdling in the bridge leading up to the second chorus and the looooooong outro for potential twin guitar intermingling crazyness. I imagine you want a bassline in there first. Do you need vocals first too?

I'm sure BG will want to squeeze some keys and Freebird lick in somewhere, too.

Still need a singer!

[Bg]

If we don't get a singer by Friday, I'll do it, but another singer would be cool on the collaboration front

[ash]

Yeah, I may be able to squeak a few notes out if things are desperate.

Let that be a warning to you all!

Trying to think of members who sing in their bands...

[ash]

Jimi is unable to take bass duties until Friday night. Anyone else want to step into the role?

I'll see if my work computer wants to play in the meantime.

[ash]

Well, it looks like we'll have to rip up the original official unofficial schedule and make the time suit the people instead of making the people suit the time.

Hoping for:

Jimi's bass track maybe some time on Saturday
Greg and Richard's revised/finalised rhythm take
Enough parts down that we have something to play with on Sunday
A vocalist
Someone with a video camera at GF on Sunday afternoon.
