July Composition Challenge----- Voting time ----

[lurksalot]

Welcome to the end of July folks!

 

We have another splendid crop of entries from the gang this month based on a phot provided by last month's winner @AndyTravis

 

He offered some words of encouragement with the photo ... "Taken a good few years ago, walking home from the pub in a storm.     Lightning and Street Lighting…"

 

 

Here are your entries this month , please vote for your favourite 3 

 

 

 

1  @Dad3353    A stroke of luck, a lucky strike...

 

 

 

 

 

 

2  @Leonard Smalls  In my ongoing series of Songs From The Shows, here's my version of Rogers and Hammerstein's classic from South Pacific, "Happy Talk", as done by Captain Sensible. The lightning dictated the use of a vocoder and hence, the slight title change...

 

 

 

 

 

3  @NickD   A tune about racing the weather home... probably from the pub.

 

 

 

 

 

4  lurksalot  A bolt from the Black , I'll never get it back, did I ever have it, yakkety yak . 

 

 

 

 

 

5 @xgsjx  I'm in.

 

 

 

 

 

6 @upside downer  Yet another drunken evening. It helps him to pass the time here. He's waiting for something, but what? He explores the skies every night but, so far, nothing. When will they come back for him? He waits and waits. It's all he can do...

 

 

 

 

 

7  @Doctor J  I couldn't shake off the feckin Street Lightning idea so tried to make it work. Conspiracy theorists wearing tinfoil hats and attracting sky-based electrocution was the best I could do. 

 

 

 

 

8 @AndyTravis   all I could think of was Ride The Lightning ....and then when I set about it, I realised I haven’t played any metal, let alone early Metallica for about 25 years.

 

 

 

 

 

9 @Wolfram   I thought I'd get back to bass-ics with this one. I present a haunting solo bass improvisation to conjure up a surreal, distant thunderstorm on a long, dark night.

 

 

well pick the bones out of that lot, I reckon you'll find it very difficult.

 

get your favourites down to 3 , then tick the boxes.

 

superb selection I reckon 

 

Voting will close at midnight on 31st July
