It really captured the quirky humour of the picture and was a really well composed piece. Well done all.

Mornats Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Great bunch of tunes! I had to go for Dad's in the end. I just loved the interplay of the strings and brass. It just hits that old-fashioned kids TV feel bang on. Al and Skol's were also great tunes. Hmm, could I register a few more accounts and put three votes in?

the_skezz Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Amazing efforts from all involved, loved Leonard Smalls' effort but for me Dad's just about had the edge so voted for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Bloomin' 'eck! Just catching up with this and wow... I don't think we've ever had two such clear front runners before. Great tracks all round and well done to everyone on the voting. There are still several days to go, so keep it up! I've yet to vote myself.

xgsjx Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 A bunch of awesome tunes, but one just fitted the pic perfect for me (& not something that I would have thought of either). It's a close fought battle! The winner should be proud to wear his BC polo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Great tunes again this month, you guys have got real talent. Dad got my vote, his tune put a great big smile on my face.

the boy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I can't stand this suspense. Every time I check in they are edging in front of each other. Is this a record vote???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Not sure about 'record', but certainly the closest-run between any two (assuming, of course, no last-minute sprint from the other worthy candidates...). Suspense, yes, but I feel that, in the end, quality will out, and I'll be very happy to concede defeat if/when Big Al passes the post. After all, I voted for him..! Still, another whole day to go, and, who knows, enough folks could be sloshed enough to tilt the balance another way. Yet another reason for looking forward to 2014, maybe..? We are well past the 30-ish which I thought would be a decent turn-out. Far short of the 220 or so on other votes, but decent enough (although, as they say, the 'Fat Lady' hasn't sung yet..!)

EliasMooseblaster Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Bugger me, and I thought it was a difficult choice last month! (And apologies for my non-participation this month - I barely had time to sit down and play around with any ideas, let alone to get any inspiration.) Dad: daft as a brush, in the most entertaining possible way. I love the march feel on the drums. Al: gorgeous bass playing - I would expect nothing less from you! Lurksalot: this is a damn site better than the usual barrage of Slade/Wizzard/Cliff Richard/etc that forms the background of every winter. Really nice vibe. Leonard: I love this. I started listening through the final entries yesterday before I got interrupted, and that chorus has been going round my head ever since. Theboy: lovely. Really lovely. As everyone else has said, you could have stretched that one out for a lot longer - but maybe best to leave 'em wanting more, eh? Skol: sinister. Really sinister. I think I might be sleeping with the light on tonight. (If I'm sober enough to find the light switch in the small hours) I still can't decide who to give my vote to...

[/quote] For me this month there was a track that ticked all the boxes with a very close second place. Thank you for your kind comments EMB I normally write the months entry then chop it down to entry/verse/chorus/exit... I think that's enough for people to get the idea. However this month I genuinely wanted to make this one longer but didn't have the time. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Cruelty, it is; sheer downright cruelty. I was nicely resigned to coming a splendid 2nd, and now this. Really; some folks have no consideration. Luckily I don't have heart complications, there's always that. Still... Pff... Some folks, eh..? (...[i]stumbles off, grumbling faint grumblings into the darkness of the fading year... "Some folks just can't leave well enough alone. I should 'ave known better, and done a rock opera, instead... ...and what if it's a dead heat, eh..? Half a polo..? Where's the good in that, I asks yer..?"[/i]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
