Ben One Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 BTW, I owe an apology to dB and the others for forgetting even for a brief while that they do so much work for the Forum CD for nothing...I appreciate it, and I can't speak for others, but I bet everyone else feels the same way.

b_3guy Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I don't mind contributing my services, as long as I'm doing a track on the CD. This is the first one that I didn't do a track & that was because of the genre (originally suggested that it was a live synth solo track & I'm a combo kind of guy). I will continue to contribute tracks, so I will continue to contribute my services, unless someone else wants to do the graphics. Janet will most likely continue to contribute the painting. If she doesn't, we'll do another theme for the cover. I really don't mind Jim getting the extra money. I don't recall him doing a track lately, so perhaps for him it's not a labour of love. Heck after doing 11 I'm not going to quit. It'll break the tradition, if it can be called a tradition. Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I'm not the slightest bit resentful if Jim does feel he needs to get more compensation - I sincerely hope it didn't come off as if I am. Quite the contrary - I think of Jim as a friend, and if he's feeling badly my natural instinct is to want to help. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpine Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Heeeeeey you guys..... I REALLY wasn't complaining. When money is exchanged fairly anonymously over the internet, it seems some what of an accounting should be given. My point in laying out the finances was an attempt to insure every one here that I personally wasn't getting rich off your efforts. I do this because I want to. I enjoy the interaction with all of you and by golly I have ended up with a few CD's of some pretty damn good music. Steve, Janet and Dave put as much or more work into this project than me. The reality is that I end up with the money.... I just wanted to inform .... not complain. Really. It's all good. www.relayerstudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wake Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I got mine today. Being a newbie both here and to the piano, I thought $10 might be a little steep. Now that I've listened to it I think it's a little cheap. Nursers: I'd be willing to pay a couple more dollars just to know where the "little people" poetry came from.

Bob Rinker Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I hope the "tradition" doesn't stop! I have purchased the last couple of comps, and certainly the entertainment value has been more than worth the cost. Part of the enjoyment is getting to hear the incredible talent of the people I have had the privilege to meet and listen to on this forum and am honored to call my friends (even though I wouldn't know you on the street). Someday I hope that I can contribute, either in a contribution (probably not happening any time soon!) or in my time (my expertise isn't in this area either!). The cost to me is immaterial - I would gladly pay twice the price for the privilege of the listen. Even at that price, the time and talent put into this effort is undercompensated, I'm sure. I really don't much care about the charitable contribution either (although a very nice idea) - I hope the people doing the work are able to recoup the costs they feel they should - and I find no shame in them asking! Please keep up the good work! It is definitely appreciated! - Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadyb Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Ok, here's my suggestion... Volume 11 - A Scottish Highland Jig Compilation 4 minute time limit (trust me, most Scot's can't keep a jig going for more than 4 minutes in a row anyway) Real bagpipes ok, but sampled or synthesized bagpipes preferred. The word "crap" can only appear in a verse. No "crap" in the chorus. No obvious Midland Valley or the Southern Uplands influence... these must be specifically "Highland" jigs. Bonus points for clever use of the word "thistle". Other than that, it's wide open. Most importantly, have fun!!!

Are there limits as to how often we pepper the composition with these words, or perhaps we get Extra Credit if we do? Just wondering...

DafDuc Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Cool, finally a challenge I already have something on the burner for! Don't let the hip hop undertones throw you off, or the choir - definitely a jig. Or else a reel. I get confused sometimes. We'll get all jiggy with it and crap. Reelly jiggy. I played in an 8 piece horn band. We would often get bored. So...three words: "Tower of Polka." - Calumet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Can I just do a Black 47 cover? "So here I am up on Bainbridge Avenue Still in one piece but glad I'm alive Drinkin' dirty big glasses of porter Playin' me jigs and me reels and me slides" They SAY jigs, AND reels... that sound pretty jiggy to me!
