BirchTree Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Congrats on Skol Jr.! Nice entries this month, looking forward to listening to all of them in detail! Quote
alittlebitrobot Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Mine was coming along, probably got to about half-way, and then work reared its ugly head unexpectedly. Ah well. What I had would sound pretty boring next to some of these Quote
xgsjx Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 A big well done to all who has entered. I just couldn't get anything done. Wasn't getting in the cowboy feel either. Gonna have a listen to the tracks in a bit & vote. Quote
lowdown Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Saddled up, trotted into town and voted. Well done all, some interesting takes on the picture. Now I will get the feck out of Dodge City before I get my head blown off in the crossfire from the composers I didn't vote for. Edited May 26, 2015 by lowdown Quote

lurksalot Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Some brilliant stuff in there today boys , well done , such a DOH moment when you vote and realise that by voting I have taken myself from joint lead, down joint 3rd Quote
Bilbo Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I lose interest at this point and just want to see the next picture Quote
lurksalot Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I tend to get all excited about trying to write and record something, then, when its done and published, I feel a bit gutted that I have finished it , but then when voting pops, up I am happy cos I know its not long till the next one Quote
Skol303 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 "Focus on the journey, not the destination" ...and never more so than when heading to Milton Keynes Quote
lurksalot Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Wise words Master Skol , I will indeed focus more on my journey as I keep ending up very left field Though in the next field to my left is Mr Smalls Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1432668455' post='2783840'] I tend to get all excited about trying to write and record something, then, when its done and published, I feel a bit gutted that I have finished it , but then when voting pops, up I am happy cos I know its not long till the next one [/quote] Luckily I'm also recording backing keyboard arrangements for the Weeds upcoming Sheffield Tramlines gig which will occupy me until the next piccy... And I've narrowed my votes down to 4! Quote
fingers211 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 My votes in.......took ages to get from 5 down to 3 !! Enjoyed them all,,well done folks.... Nige Quote
Dad3353 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Voted..! Sorely tempted to give all 3 votes to the same piece (technically impossible, I know, but I was tempted..!). Once again, need it be said, there's some great stuff in there; well done to all. Thanks, too for the choice of picture, which seemed to inspire very different reactions from all. That, though, is the beauty of it, isn't it..? Quote
paul h Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Well done to everyone. Great stuff and a difficult decision as always! Quote

lurksalot Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I do try , but I do have a story that is inspirational in this regard , though I will have to wait till the dust is settled before I dare tell well , maybe not , but I like to think so ........................still not telling though Quote
Dad3353 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 A tease, huh..? As if there wasn't suspense enough already..! Quote
the boy Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Voted..... Not an easy choice. Really good and diverse entries this month. Quote
the boy Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Working off my phone so can't leave comments/like on soundcloud but I will do that later at home. Quote
Dad3353 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Can anyone explain how 14 voters, given 3 votes each, can achieve 37 votes..? I'm finding it hard to square this circle. 12 voters at 3, then 1 more is only 13 voters. 13 at 3 each is already more than are cast. 14 voters, 11 of whom voted 3, 1 of which gave 2 votes and the last 2 folks only voted for 1..? Is that really credible..? I'm aware that this is a bass-players forum, but even then I'd have expected a bit more arithmetic savvy than is shown here. Odd, I say; very odd. Any better explanation..?
