Re: Nur Ein IX- Round One

Thank you for putting up with me; I am still trying to improve and to learn. I wrote a song for round 2, and will try to post it on that "Nein" section if I can find it. I like writing to a challenge. As to sounding like your grandmother singing....maybe it is because I AM a grandmother, l...

Re: Nur Ein IX - Round Two

Lunkhead- thank you for all the info you posted about keys, and the link to that page. It is really helpful. I have been trying to teach myself music theory for around 3 years, and have lots of notes in a notebook just for it, but my brain is made of Teflon- everything falls out easily. Got a couple...

Re: Nur Ein IX- Round One

My apologies for the accapella version again- I had to leave Thursday for a 4 day convention in Canada I was teaching at, and didn't have time to figure out an accompaniment or to get someone to do backing for me ( though I did have a friend who tried! Thanks John!). I am trying to learn how to add ...

Re: Nur Ein IX- Round Zero

Well...I got a song in, and it has potential...but no background instrumentation. Yeah, I know- I gotta learn how to play SOMEthing! Till then, and until I can find a reliable partner, it is vocals alone *sigh*

Re: Nur Ein IX

I'd like to give this another try; anyone in need of a female vocalist/lyricist? Or willing to provide guitar/keyboard/bagpipe accompaniment?

Re: Put your plans on hold and write some reviews

Wow, Jim, what a great review! Thank you for putting so much time and thought into it, I am flattered. Yup, the accapella was not by choice- my accompanist had life happen to him I guess, I never heard back from him. I'm working with someone else now, and Canadian Girlfriend is sounding fun. I don't...

Re: Nur Ein VI: Round Two

Hey guys- been missing the competition, but I screwed up my first recording of Blame it on Ginger and blew it fair and square. No biggie, because when I got home and re-recorded after the deadline there was a lot less time pressure so Caleb was able to do amazing things- please go check out what he ...

Re: Nur Ein VI: Round Two

Just got home an hour or so ago. Were you able to get to Calebs song link that Dantes posted (thanks Bram!)? My husband helped me figure out what got screwed up in the original version recording ( I should have awakened him when it didn't sound right on the speakers, but he was so tired...) Anyway, ...
