Since there is now a new thread, and to avoid confusion, it may be a good idea to close this one.

Just to confirm, I DO have a song from BOBERT and one from PEACE (and about 100 from others).

I may put up some youtube links to songs which will be on the new CDs (seeing as has Leej has started)--maybe on a new thread. There could be 20 or so. Is that something you guys would be interested in?

This entire thing was so convoluted... First of all, I really have no idea if my song is gonna be on this thing 'er not but...

...it all started with GUEST 999 (Brucie) askin' me to do a little slide work on one of his songs and then between my lack of technical skills, some issues with the recording and me having my studio guy record a quickie, one-taker while I was down doing the work on brucie's song things got messed up... I may never know what happened but seems that my song made it to the UK and brucie's didn't???

Don't ask me... I'm just a geetar picker...

But, if brucie's song, which BTW was/is a killer with the two of us, didn't make it then, hey, if mine does then the two hour trip to my recording guy's house (in the friggin' snow) won't have been a complete waste...

Wow! That's beautiful, Ernie, and such a haunting melody... Are those photos yours? Pics of relatives perhaps? I have some similar ones, in very similar poses and frames significant to the era.   Well done! Now I know where the muse has been!

Bradfordian,

Have sent you a pm & an e-mail with the info below (also containing my contact details). Hope to hear back from you soon...

Sorry to leave it so late to get back to you; have been trying to get one of my newer songs recorded, but have ended up falling back on an older one. So... can you cope with an m4a file, or would it be better if I converted it to an mp3 before sending it to you?

As for whether to use my Mudcat nick or my real name, is it a problem to use both? Also, I have a couple of friends accompanying me. I assume their names can be included somewhere, yes?

Finally, many, MANY thanks for undertaking this project! I know it must take an absolutely HUGE amount of time and energy -- no doubt even more than I (or most folks) would imagine. You have my admiration as well as my gratitude.

Cheers,

Vikki Appleton Fielden

Just sent one track from one group to the other list for Seasonal.
I will send a track from my other "smaller" group to you to.
I guess I have seen the thread but never really read it before.

100 songs... KEWL! Can't wait to get mine and a few more copies for family/friends.

Organizing them. I had not even thought of that Mr. Noble. Now you have given my sleepless nights another thing to ponder.

How about in the chronological (or reverse) order they arrived?

No decision or research to do.

How about sorting them in alphabetical order: if it's a song, under 'S' for song, if it's a tune under 'T' for tune ;)

Wow! 100 songs!

How will they be random or ordered?

By age, by beauty, by intrinsic value, by geography, by topic, by key, or alpha?

Inquiring minds have sleepless nights!

I'll tell you about this strange kettle of fish
Where you'll find to your taste, and whatever you wish
But for Mudcat their recipe is most bizarre
By burning their blue plates they serve the best dish

I hope the non-seasonal track I sent you is in good enough form (after going from reel-to-reel to cassette to cassette to digital).   Let me know if I need to do any additional "remastering" of the file.

Both songs harvested, thanks claireBear. The grey cells are in denial, took me 3 mins to place the tune for Sweet Perfection, but I know you guys will recognise it instantly when you hear it on the CDs come next Christmas.

Anyone who has not yet sent in their contributions are among the "straggling" fish but there's still hope for some because we are still within the time frame. Let me see now......so that's another

12 days to go

The leader of the pack, sorry, shoal, is still being coy though!

I just uploaded my 2 contributions and emailed you links, Bradfordian!

I don't expect I'm the straggling fish you're speaking of hauling in, as I don't play chess, but I do apologize for the time it took. I really have been ill! But ill or not, I'm hooked now .... save the net for the really big fish.

Thanks for all your good wishes fellow 'catters including you Barbara. A double event for you, as you also mark the vernal equinox!

I did TWO choir gigs today (different choirs), so no party today, but I'll make up for that tomorrow (Sunday) [Well I did party last weekend with my sis & bro-- as well as supporting the Ingleton FF fundraiser]

It's all go---- "What is this world if full of care, we have no time to stand or stare........"

I am thankful to be able to do that; that I woke up this morning, that the world around me was ticking over alright amidst the natural and man made turmoil of the wider world. And to think we moan about the price of fuel!

I am pleased with the progress of the project. I am gradually reigning in the stragglers.
However, there is one significant straggler still to net though! I was just wondering if I should learn how to play chess to catch this fish.

Cheers, Barrie
