Oh, and I thought I'd add our vocals to Thorsten and RTZ's previous mix to give people an idea of how it's shaping up. I can't wait to hear other people's vocals added.

This sounds soooooooo good already.  Great job everyone from top to bottom.  The MAN has been keeping me so busy lately but hearing this has re-energized me tonight.  I'll get to work and will have no problem making the deadline.   This whole thing is shaping up to be the cat's spat.

Very nice Louise & Vinyl this will be fun to see how it turns out.

Remember submit your vocal without effect no matter how much it hurts

your pride, it will sound so much better when it is mixed!

good morning, everybody (8:00 am in Austria). This is very very nice. There'll be a huge, overwhelming choir, beautiful choir if it goes on like this. Thanks everyone for the vocals, I'm really looking forward to matching these tracks together.

Guys, this is just great.   Exciting.  

Okay,  I listened to Louise doing the chorus alone and to Vinyl's mixed vocals.   Nice.

Linda and I really want in and will get it done soon.   Will try first with what I know - making a video - just singing the chorus then convert to mp3.  Thanks so much to all who are doing this.

Here's my go at the vocals.  Did a bunch of takes and never felt great about the verses especially after hearing Vinyl and RTZ.  I'd be happy just to be a member of the choir.  But here it is in all its naked glory.

I also did a clap track (claps throughout) and a bass track on a cheap acoustic bass (not CBG).  I'm no bass player, but here it is if we want it.  I only miss a couple notes ;)

Here's the clap track and my mix to see how its sounds.  I like it.  Thorsten will make it sound superb with all of the individual tracks.  This has been a good lesson in singing for me.  I usually sing alone and this is my first real attempt at harmonizing at all.  Hopefully I'm at least adequate.

Aaaannnndddd the hits keep on rollin'' in!

Jimi Z, thanks very much for your submission; great tone!

Thorsten, Vinyl, RTZ, and most especially Louise, watching y'all collaborate on the fly continues to be a thing of wonder and beauty. Uncle John, as usual, you did a very, very good thing when you suggested this song; there's an amazing energy flowing through this project. I feel so lucky to be part of it with y'all.

Uncle John, for recording, there's a coupla ways to go. You obviously have a computer. Download the free sound editing program, Audacity. If you are using a laptop, it likely already has a mic built into it, but if you want a standalone mic, you could: 1) Go to Rad Shack, and get a cheapy "computer mic" that plugs into the 1/8" mic jack on your computer. 2) Go a little more upscale, and get a USB mic, online at Zzounds, Sweetwater, Harmony Central, or even Guitar Center, or maybe from your local guitar emporium.

Here's a link to get you started in looking at USB mics, if you so choose: http://usbmicrophonereview.com/

You could also look at the iRig mic, which I have, which works nicely for around $45, but you'd need to get a tabletop mic stand for it, as well as for the Blue Snowball mentioned in the above review. But there's no real need to go this route; a Rad Shack mic is enough to get you started.

The CBN community is definitely watching this space, with nearly 2200 page views already! I think this album is going to, lessee, slay the naysayers (not that there were any;-) ), kill the killjoys (nope, none o' them, neither), and convert the unconverted (of whom there may actually be quite a few). Viva Townes!

I just logged on to the front page and the TVZ tribute was knocked of the forum list.

Hope it's a sign it's slowing down but not dead.

RTZ,

 

Easy enough to get back up there; just gotta post a Reply, and it jumps back on ;-). We ain't even close to bein' dead yet, not with over 2400 page views - the album's not finished!

I'm still buzzing! If a little tired and emotional, from long rehearsals.
