alittlebitrobot Posted May 25, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted May 25, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted May 25, 2015 Share 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.

lurksalot Posted May 26, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted May 26, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted May 26, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted May 27, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted May 29, 2015 Share 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..?
