Well, I haven't heard too much from anyone to see how everyone is doing with their gifts so I'm gonna put the pressure on. My gift has not only been completed a while back, but the video that accompanies now also complete.

The law of inevitability has it that you made me laugh my ass off. And you're right. There's something to be said for taking "taking it easy" to the extreme :)

Cheers brother :lol:

i believe Eddiebangs will post the instructions when the due date gets closer. So don't stress, you still have a month and a half before the deadline.

Hey all, just cheering from the sidelines. Can't wait to get the free songs - maybe next year I'll be able to jump in again myself.

Because I'm trying to get someone else's help so it doesn't suck, and there are scheduling complications, so I need to know the due date so I can figure out if my cohort will be able to help me or if I have to record it solo. Geez!

Ugh, I suck at playing cello. And my cello sucks. Guess I'll just have to do this with a more traditional-for-me approach.

Record it the "Trad-for-me" way, but then add the cello later... if you run out of time. We need to hear it!

Well my original plan was to do this as a string quartet, although I suspect my violin playing is also not up to standards for this either.
