onewilyfool Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've been putting this off for years. I think I'm finally ready to pen a song. I was HOPING that some of you in the forum, would agree to jump on the wagon, and pen your own. Let's choose a date, and by that date, we will have written and recorded a new song, that we can share with the rest of the forum. I feel a lot of support in this group, and it could be fun and a great way to encourage each other to go beyond our limitations and get creative? Should we have a theme? A genre (folk, blues, country???)? What is a good date to aim for? Let me know if any of you are interested. NOTE: This would NOT be a contest (PLEASE) just a way to join in and encourage each other to try something new and exciting. Any takers????

ksdaddy Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I couldn't write a song on the song-writin-est day of my life with an electrified song writin' machine. And if I did, it would probably be dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be fun, write a love song to your Mrs. There may even be brownie points for that one.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuff Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Well I've never recorded a song but this might actually make me do it. Hell I'll give it a shot, I don't exactly write masterpieces and I'm a bit greasy but springs in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkharmony Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm pretty much always writing. I'd be glad to share with the forum, particularly if it helps others get productive. I've been working on Doo-Wop and Celtic stuff so much lately, it'll be nice to do some country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc McMaster Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Heck I'm in! Selecting a theme is a good thought.......we could see how each contributor approaches the same subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefleppard Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 what's the approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodehopper Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 what's the approach? ohhh....that would make a good title for a song Cunk....of course if KSD is helping you will have to come up with lines that rhyme with "from the rear" :- Heck....I will give 'er a go. I had an idea a few months ago and the piece of paper has been sitting on my music table untouched ever since ....maybe this will get me motivated to attempt my first composition.

onewilyfool Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Well....maybe we could set up a poll....I don't really know how. BUT I'm open to a blues theme or a Country theme? Any takers???? OR, we could just say write any song , any genre, etc. Let's see if we can get some consensus???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean blues or country or folk would be good..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefleppard Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 how about you (OWF) start with a line, order the participants and the next guy on the list is responsible for the next line. dont worry about genre, just write as many 4-line verses as we can, going in order. if and when a theme evolves, we'll try to formulate a chorus based on the content of the verse. each guy can take a whack at writing music, record it in any pc/mac friendly way and post it to you tube etc....

Jinder Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hell yeah! I'm all for this. Love it. I might write a song about the sainted Mothership that is Gibson...that could make for a great country song. "I don't know whether to throw hands/or reach for the tissues/when the UMGF keeps carpin' about quality control issues..." in a seriousness, I would love to be a part of this.

C'mon Wily whats the first line? How about Precious elbows caress my inner being........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 John t.....rather than do a round robin type of song with everyone writing a line of a song, I was hoping that all of us could write our own song and then share it. Right now, I am leaning towards folk or country for my first attempt.......wish me luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 i thought you were a lion tamer? Only at weekend, when I'm called Margorie. That's another good idea for a song. Thanks Cunk. I'm going to like this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
