You are correct sir . . . reminds me of my very early years when this(back then old cat)would follow our band from gig to gig, find him a place not too far from the stage where he would play his spoons. I mean this guy would even show up at weddings and private gigs, many times we had to just say, "hey he's with the band". On a more serious note a featured solo on that baby would be a very change of pace during a regular gig. Heck I'd bet it would draw a lot of attention just sitting on stage awaiting it's turn!

Get into the habit - join Kemmrich and I and a few other PG'ers at February Album Writing Month www.fawm.org Goal is to write 14 songs in the month of February, each February. Thousands participate now every year and many of them reach the goal. My success rate is 75% at reaching the goal, and out of those 14 songs each year, I have 2 or 3 true keepers that entertain myself and others. Get into the discipline of writing your own material. There's lots of ways to go about it - copy a song structure from one of your favorite songs and replace chords, melody and lyrics, etc. I try to do something new for me each year as part of the practice. Last year, the new thing for me was to write a song without a proper chorus, just a repeated refrain line on the ends of the verses. -Scott My Songs, photos, writing,etc. My Sound Cloud

I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

When I fist built that one it had only 1 string and 1 washtub, but the economy was booming back then and so I added the extree strings and tub (wanted me a double bass). I also built a 4 stringer one outta recycled red wood (my old front porch),but gave it away to my brother in-law . Have built a few hillbilly fiddles and guitars too !

The technology is mainly used for rewriting webpages, so you can create copies of "articles" and increase your presence on Google. But they've also got programs that scrape webpages for content, and it looks like that's what's happening here. There's some pretty slick stuff out there - Google "rewrite article software." But there's better software available if you're looking for something to help write lyrics. Back in the days of shareware, I'd flirted with the idea of putting together something similar, to allow students to automatically pad their papers. (In my naivete, the possibility of using it to rewrite existing papers hadn't occurred to me). Given that my target audience was also the least likely to pay for software, I decided to spend my time elsewhere. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
