Just check out tabs and lyrics. Look into some of the more musical, less crazy stuff.

He's gonna come home tonight all fired up about this.

He's gonna give me grief because Mule Variations is in storage.

We'll have to download it from iTunes.

We'll listen to it over and over.

He'll try it a few times, only to decide that his voice is too pretty for the song.

He's gonna make me scream until my voice is raw - then I'll get to do the song.

He'll accompany me on our wok and frying pan.

I've got garage band. by molasses (2.00 / 0) #54 Mon Feb 27, 2006 at 06:01:07 PM EST

I'm assuming that works? :)

We've got a mic and little mixer, too. Rizzo is doing podcasts so we're set up for that.

Let me know if you've got a song in mind and i'll see if i can get a copy to start listening to. Admittingly, I'm a little traditional when it comes to sticking close to the song, but i'm willing to try something "out of the box" if it's not too crazy.

I know, lame. LOL!

No worries by cam (2.00 / 0) #55 Mon Feb 27, 2006 at 11:39:25 PM EST

A big spectacular erection. This is good timing because my bass will be back in my posession soon and I just bought a jaw harp! Me, my cheapest guitar, my bass, my jaw harp, cheap wine, and you just may get a rendition of Coattails of a Dead Man....or maybe Waltzing Matilda. I've got a good feeling about this one. Hope to hell I find time!

guitar noodle entry with voice over by TPD (4.00 / 1) #64 Fri Mar 10, 2006 at 06:13:51 AM EST

inspired by "The Piano has been drinking (not me)" (very very loosely), took roughly twice as long to create as it takes to play (because I can't record the guitar and my voice at the same time).

Very Poor!
