I would like to show....

[MarioD]

Kara, rharv suggested I put a lead guitar part into this project.  Being the late bloomer that I am I noticed this is well on it’s way to being a collaborative winner as is!  I really couldn’t feel a spot where another lead was warranted.

So I laid down a rhythm track.  If it’s not too late give a listen.

Feel free to use any, all or none of it.  NO problem.  If you have suggestions feel free to express them.

PS- you guys did a fantastic job on this.

[rharv]

Cool Mario- thanks for jumping into the fray!
 We try to do a lot of these collabs around here.  The next CD will have a lot of collab work on it, so I hope you jump in there too.
 I'll go plug this into my version amd see what comes out.  I know there were a couple hollow spots in the song, so I'm glad you picked up on that need.
 Still needs a solo at the end tho'.

[MarioD]

Do you really think the fade out ending needs a guitar lead over top of the horns?

[rharv]

The horns may not stay (probably aren't). This is a Kara project and he has ideas for the ending.  I just shoved those horns in there to fill it in for my example mix.

Thanks to MarioD, we have a new version, with rythmic guitar over the first sections after the intro sections.

It took me some time to mix those in, mainly because i migrated the whole project to my Linux daw( and thanks to rharv for syncronising the guitar track).

I think that at the moment the song is 2/3 ready, to me its ok until after the second vocal section. So, now we need contributions for the last bars.
I propose that we wait until i have the final solo played by Oren, to see what we can do around this solo.

Allso, don't forget that I need the spoken vox for the ending

I can do a reasonably posh English accent. If I can get hold of a mic how about:

"I say, I do believe some scoundrel just shot the drummer."

[rharv]

I wasn't trying to avoid the vocal action. Everyone in the house but me had some kind of cold for a few days now. Coughing, raspy...not the best for recording Michelle, and my lines were suppose to follow hers...so things are on hold here.
If someone else wants to do it- go for it. No need to hols up progress.

Go for it Will !!

Great idea! I was going to bark something out, but I get really tired of hearing my own voice 

With the "folderol" vocal and the "MarioD" guitar action, I'll just wail something strange Kara can use as a  sound effect. Today...

Oren.

[folderol]

I hope this makes the grade.

A tad echoy I'm afraid - crap mic and poor environment

[kara]

Great it's in the mix, sounds great, very britisch indeed sir.

Remember, I need the answer from another voice
"good timing, I was about to shoot him myself"

I hope this makes the grade.

Thanks.

... just as long as nobody thinks I normally talk like that

[Oren]

Here's a follow-up to Will's effort, but I'm hoping someone else has already sent one in....

And a "cyber guitar" thingy for the end. It is phrased so that if MarioD comes up with some tasty riffage, Kara can just use just the last 1/3 of my contribution to usher out the gunshot....

[rharv]

Kara- to time the 'about time' comment we need a copy of the song with Will's line in it...I don't see the finished product with his line in there posted anywhere.

[kara]

okay (did you hear my american accent here  ) new version with the end in it.

The last section has oren's guitar now.

Here are some toughts
- Oren is right, we'll need some rythmic support for the last section, Mario or James or somebody...?
- I do like the vox of folderoll wich has that distinct english detached & cool feeling in it, I like less the Oren reply... it is a bit to detached to my feeling, hard to explain.
Let's say that it doesn't realy sound as an answer to will.. it sounds to much as a ripped sample from somewhere and not realy in the right context.

Other comments and ideas are allways very welcome
