Well my latest idea for a song, which I haven't succeeded in making
work, is one about how greedy bankers, ruthless speculators and craven
governments have effectively conspired in stealing a good many
people's future and well-being. I wanted to bring it down to the

Robin,
Yea, it seems simple enough at first glance. But there's a lot going
on, as you're finding out. There are some timing issues, some odd
phrasing, ornaments that only make themselves known after a few
listenings, etc. In the end, if you hear it being played differently
on the ends, or the

Does anybody but me think that a month is too long to learn a song? I
mean, I've been working on Garfield's Blackberry Blossom for about
10 years off and on, so I get it, but maybe two weeks is better. Or is
there just too much to do for some to get it together in two weeks?
I'm a mind to think
I started a song once about artificial icicles but never finished it
cause I couldn't find a good rhyme with icicles. (ha ha)
Have at it.

I couldn't fit it into a Christmas song without being too melancholy
or too silly. So I switched gears completely and wrote one called
Neon Lights of Love.
It's both melancholy and silly.

The procrastination monster can be a big factor but being busy with
other life stuff can be too. Guess it depends on how much everyone is
looking to develop their repertoires.
I personally like to have 3 or 4 tunes I am working on at a time.
Perfecting a tune takes me alot longer than getting it
Every tune is different for me. Sometimes I get it right away and then other
tunes never seem to sink in and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do
with the difficulty of the tune. I can play along with both the youtube and
Hatcher's recording (of course I'm playing it on the fiddle and would

Oh, I get it. The new posts are at the end so you have to page thru

Depending on the tune(s) and how busy I am during that month/two weeks, I could
possibly hang with every two weeks. I like Kathy's idea of picking two at the
beginning of the month and then you can choose which one to learn first and the
quicker ones can learn both. Just my 0.02.

Mike,
I just click the link at the bottom of the discussion topic that lists
the number of messages and it takes me to the newest ones first.
As for the time allotted per song, I can see that maybe shortening the
time could possibly put too much pressure on. So, let's just leave it
as is. I need
Hey Deep,
Also remember that there's no rule that says you can't play the tune
your way. I'm going to play the form the way I hear it, but stick to
the nuances...up to a point. I'm sure the person Hatcher learned the
tune from might have had another take on it.

reasons). I'm definitely not up to speed on this tune yet.
