lurksalot Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Here we go for the June vote , all compositions were based on the following picture chosen by last months winner .. Skankdelvar He noted ... "This month's pic is Forge Valley, Scarborough by John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836 - 1893). No great significance, it's just a picture I like." 6 entries in total , so I think we shall go to 2 votes this time , If we still get a tie I will use a 'lurksalittle lifestyle' tie break question The entries are as follows 1 @Dad3353 The yellowing sky gave me the impression ofa storm brewing. A bucolic scene, but could be deceptive. Some heavy raindrops, a brief shower..? Maybe it'll turn out fine after all... 2 @Leonard Smalls Being laid up with a broken leg has some advantages (arguably!) - I had time to produce a fine example (arguably again!) of "Doh" music (*). I suggest either headphone, or a big hifi to listen as it's dribbling with big 'ol stereo stuff. 3 @Nail Soup The picture made me think of tranquility and solitude. So I decided to go for a kind of 'solo' thing - a single performance into a single mic, with minimal number of takes. So just a guitar tuned to open D and vocal. 4 Lurksalot Well I thought this shouted 'Folk' so I tried it, and it actually turned out a little bit folky 5 @upside downer The image is of a bucolic scene so I decided to take a relaxing ramble through the musical countryside with not a care in the world. 6 @skankdelvar Something a bit more basic than last month's kitchen sink production number. An admiring nod to Richard Gaughan and Peter Maxwell Davies. So there we have it, a slightly reduced quantity maybe , but certainly not reduced quality 2 votes then please Voting to close at midnight on 30th June good luck Edited June 25, 2022 by lurksalot 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) How odd. 9 + 6 = 15. 7 x 2 = 14. How odd..! Now standing at 19 votes from 9 voters. Edited June 28, 2022 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I can see a day coming whereby all entries get equal votes (deservedly so, so often...), and every entry earns a Winner's Certificate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Nope... I prefer pasta to pasty. Though I quite like the Cornish flag, and sea cliffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
