I have been thinking lately that it would be cool if we could get people on
this list to do covers of SDRE songs. I am in a band, and I think it'd be fun,
after all there is no better way to gather a love for a song than to plaay the
song yourself. Maybe if each band that is affiliated with the list could do a
song and tape it, then someone(possibly me) could put them all together on tape
or CD and distribute it to list members. Yeah, it will problably never happen,
but I think it would be an enjoyable experience. If anyone on the list is in a
band and would be interested, then post your ideas on the subject.
