Oh, cool. I'm going to hold off and work on mine more. It's done, but I REALLY wanted to do a cool percussion bridge that I kept putting off. But I think my giftee would really get a kick out of it, so now I will do it.

I don't have a website, so I uploaded the collaboration I did to SoundCloud. It's a cover of .....

(Dang it, Niveous! I wanted my recipient to see it. Other people are posting theirs in links to their web page...)

Rachael and I will probably be late with our contributions, but we have not forgotten about them.

The extension 'might' help, but we'll see.

ROCK!

Boffo Yux Dudes are in - tho if we knew there was an extension, we would have delayed again as much as possible.

Looking forward to checking the tunes out!

Extensions are for wussies. (And people facing catastrophic natural disasters).

I have no excuse for not making the original deadline, but even if I don't make the extended one in time, I will eventually deliver a song.

One other thing, I have really gotten to like the original of the song that I'm covering, and I'd amazingly never heard it before this fight in spite of it being a band that I've heard a lot of other stuff by. This is the best part of the whole Gift of Music thing.

I am, as with everything, gonna be late. But hopefully only by a small ammount.

Time management is not my friend.

This is why I have such trouble actually finishing a fight.

Damn deadlines.

After several days of working on my song, I decided I had grown so hateful of the original I couldn't stand my version either. I was still going to go with it but fate was merciful and gave me a computer error. So, on one hand I lost the song I hate. On the other, I had to start from scratch on a new song. The new tune I enjoy more. I just have to add the bells and whistles. Hopefully I'll be done before midnight.
