OK, Joe, I might want to do that in the future. But, for now, this project is altogether different. That will become apparent as we get going.

It's OK if we sound awful. The idea is to build a conglomeration of lyrics, singing, rapping, harmonizing, writing and composing. It's a sort of exercise in the folk process, since the music will be made by the Mudcatters as a community - similar, but not quite the same to the old days of community music & song making.

For instance - You can take that electronic sound I filed and record a traditional folk song over it with your voice, using the pitch as a jump off point. If you don't like the electronic sound, it may be ommitted in one of the versions that this whole project will be diverging to. We are going to be doing all kinds of wild stuff. We will be changing the lyrics, the melody, the instrumentation. You do not have to use what is posted literally. Or you may do that. That's why it's a process.

So, I've posted some lyrics and used a text to voice converter to get a comuterized vocal. You can use the lyric and sing it with your voice, if you like. You can use only a word or a line if you wish and develop a better couplet or a whole different verse.

You can communicate your melodic ideas using musescore software or tyrn your cellphone on and record it with your piano. Anything goes. Eventually something interesting may emerge out of the chaotic mess that we are going to make and a New The Beatles is born!
