Skol303 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 ...now updated with a late entry from the boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Another great week - glad to see the one I didn't vote for is currently the early leader as it was so close in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Voted. Struggling to get ot composing at the moment. Very time consuming when you haven't got time. I started something and got it off the ground but just haven't got back to it in time. Bugg**y b*ll***cks [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Done..! Well, actually, I voted, and then changed my mind..! Not recommended; it's better to reflect for longer, or listen again, but there were mitigating circumstances. Once more the sheer quality of the entries makes deciding almost painful. Luckily the music is worth it. Who got my vote..? It finally went to... [spoiler]Al, of course, initially, but then along came the late entry from the boy, which made me listen again (to all...). Much as I was impressed by Al's artistry, I really felt that the boy had the edge as far as respecting the photo was concerned. Sorry, Al, but the boy sings..![/spoiler] Great entries from all, as usual.

Roland Rock Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Wow, The Boy's late entry! I'm really impressed with this talented composer for the second month in a row. Superb tune. I may have to rethink my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Been a while since I was in this here neck of the woods, but i had a bottle of booze and half an hour spare so I thought I'd catch up. Great set of entries as ever, and eventually voted for the one that I both liked the most and thought went well with the image. Having said that, well done everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkintheuk Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That picture is beautiful what a great idea to use a picture from Andalucia where Paco de Lucia was from. Brilliant inspiration idea... and the music is all sounding amazing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Got half and hour on it tonight and this is where I got to. Not finished and very clunky but I wanted to show willing as much as anything. This is as far as I got and have abandoned it as time was up and, frankly, I know how much work is needed to get it up to par and I don't want to spend the time on it but thought I would post this anyway. I was thinking waltz of the dead kind of thing. https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/waltz-at-the-hanging-tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfordStone Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 all the entries were great, but one for me captured the vibe of the picture and the region, so I went with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well done AL! It was a close call in the end, but I think you just edged it at the finish line Great track, very nicely played. Please message me with your choice of photo for April and I'll launch the new thread tomorrow evening. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another splendid collection of very differing themes, and, as I say each time, there's merit in all the entries, so applause equally for all the contenders. Let's see your pic, then, and we'll wind up the clockwork for yet another Challenge. Bring it on..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
