Guy,
I got it downloadin right now man. I gigged last night, and am just sort of re-cooping today, and if I can get the net long enough, I'll get it downloaded, seems to download faster from Jacks site than those other ones.
Had a really great gig last night, Hats off to Jeff, he rocked for not playing in so long, I wish I'd have taken the 840 and got a cheezy board recording, man I BLASTED out the lyrics to "War Pigs" the crowd went wild, and I suprised myself, after this pnemonia bout, I dint know if I could pull it off or not, but I have to pat myself on the back, now if I could only play the Bassline like Geezer Butler...lol... I totally simplify it so I can sing, (thats a good reason to say that I simplify it, fact is, I'm no Geezer on da Bass... 
Jack

Oh Guy, You are a freakin' genius!! I just love your version of the tune!!! I am totally speechless.
I added your entries to the index file. Also, I change the name so it will always be at the top of the list.

I put an official 'index.html' in there that will come up automatically, with Bill / Guy's entry. I used yours Den, and did a make from, pasting typical html start and end file stuff, and used an index created from WS-FTPLE to generate the file list. Also put a return to PARENT INDEX in there. I think I'll put up index for the other 2 song directories - and may re-name the other directories or tamisong directory so it is consistent. The other directories, by our names, don't need an index - the but the 3 song directories seem like they're more for completed works? Will get it figured out. Perhaps after more eggnog.
Thanks for the help Den.
...
Guy - that song of yours is SUCH a kick! Monster build up to complete face-busting fun.
Loved it man!
Jack

Guy, the mandolin playing sounded great to me; As did the whole tune.
Actually, the server put those 20%s in when I copied the URLs. I think they do that for any files that have spaces in the file name.
The only sample I found so far for that drum is this. Maybe you can crop out some hits.

Guy, I'd get a real Bodhran (most people pronounce it "Bore-ran" for those not familiar).
I've got a couple I could sample for you, but there are so many different tones from the things, you'd really want to capture a particular type of hit to suit the tune.
The time is surely coming where we can each put a CD together with the "hi-fi" versions of our efforts and share them around. This would also be a good opportunity to exchange any samples, soundfonts and such anybody requires.
Bronwen just bought a large Bodhran off e-bay, nice, deep martial tone. Only pity is it has tacky-fake celtic artwork on it. I'm told you cannot remove it without damaging the skin.
On the last page of the thread, Jack444 spoke of BPM calculation. Maybe this deserves its own thread, so I'll start one. Then I'd better have another go at catching up with all that tunage!

Oh yeh, having said I couldn't see my way to contributing a Remembrance Day tune, ideas have suddenly sprung forth and I'm jotting down ideas at odd moments. Be warned that it seems to be taking a "prog-rock" turn with different sections, 5 of them so far. It's anyones guess if it makes it into a finished piece!

Ok,
I think I've downloaded and listened to all the takes on Tami's song. I have to say that they are all fantastic!!
I really dug Den's "Hard Rock" Take on it of coarse.
I liked Jacks new verson with "Less Verb", thats just me though, when I first got into "Multi Tracking" my mentaur, the guy who also taught me how to play Bass, told me that all songs have "some" reverb, but that a little bit goes a longgggg way, I know I have been guilty of using it way too heavy at times, but these days, I just use the Roland presets.
I really dug the guitar parts that Mark added to it, made it sound alot brighter and bouncier, of coarse Mark is an awesome guitar player, for some odd reason, on my version, theres like 1 minute and 40 seconds of silence at the end? I can crop that out in Magix though, awesome job Mark!!
I really dug what Bert added to Jacks version, just wish it was added to the one with less verb, but awesome job there Bert!!! Filled it out alot.
I thought OleBillBuxtons Boogie was really cool, but I have to say, and no offence to anyone here, my fav was:
"BillBuxtonsBritrock" I think it's because Guy seems to have slowed the tempo a tad? and the way he cut parts of the vocals and pasted um here and there, way cool effect!! that one thing she did, the arghhhhhhh was actually a mistake that she said to leave in there cause it sounded kinda cool, and I liked the way Guy used that on it too.
Plus the cool instruments, thats a Mandolin huh? At one point I thought I heard a Sitar in there. In anycase it rocks!
Please dont take offence anyone, I thought ALL takes were better than the one I did, I thought they were all "Radio Worthy" I guess we all just have to have a fav huh? I'm sure Tami is down there in GA all bigheaded at how cool all these takes on her tune is.
Thanks everyone, and feel free to do more if desired.
Myself, I'm off to try and install my Jaz drive and get a cool Bass line for Jacks tune, and maybe try once again to get my Remberance Day song going, I am just really drawing a blank on that tune, I have written and thrown away so many lyrics its unreal on that one..lol...maybe I should do the melody first thing on it?
Hope all are well!
Jack

LINK for Guy's new tune.
Guy, does the link you are using work from your PC? I wonder if it's because you have a cookie enabled or something that it works? The link doesn't work from here - I have to use the address above to get it to work.
It's been added to the index already.

I really dig it, Guy. Sounds great. You did exactly what I wanted to do with my soloing at the end of the tune. I wanted them more in the background like that.

LINK to Mark's version.
http://helserj.temp.powweb.com/vs840/songs/TamiSong/tami_444_mark.mp3
Mark - am I hearing overtones in the first minute, or did you do some double-lead - at about the 45 second mark? Your opening lead reminds me a bit of the Boston UFO album ...

WOW, I just listened to my latest take, the one with 444s music. Man you guys can delete that right now!!! LOL That solo at the end I played is LAME!!! You must forgive me as I did it while I was gearing up for the Packers football game. While Im gearing up, it usually includes a six pack of beer. I thought it sounded great yesterday. Its pretty amazing how 3 or 4 beers can affect your playing. A lesson to all the kids out there....Beer & wah pedals do not mix!!
Sorry again for the ear-sore!!

Snail-mail isn't too expensive - but then again it ain't nothing, but I guess only one set of copies needs to find it's way across the ponds and/or borders. If we use a DVD-r, everything will fit on one disk and one person with the facilities can produce the DVD-r from his fellow countrymens Cd's and also deal with the distribution of that recieved from abroad, posssibly having to produce a set of Cd-rs for anyone not having a DVD reader.
Once everybody has finished polishing their work (and we'll have to impose some sort of cut-off date so the perfectionists amongst us don't take forever!), we go thru distribution again only this time everybody ends up with the Perfect comp.
I suppose Guy and I can fight over the job over here!
Actually, Jack (Bass) may hold some sort of record for the number of CD's mailed in one jewel-case. Along the lines of "how many people can get in a phone box" or an Austin Mini.
I like "Unsupported and Obsolete" a lot Jack.

Id be so proud to put a cd together as long as all you wonderful & gifted musicians names were somewhere in the vacinity of mine. A player is as good as the musicians he\her surrounds themselves with.

I in too. Once I get settled here.
Mark, lead sounds good to me. I wish I could be play lead half as good.
Like both new version from mark and guy. Just check in and had a listen.
Cool mix guy.
Bass, when the dust settles here, I'll redo. It was a quicky to give an idea. I used Jacks cause it had the beat and rythym I was looking for without spending much time. Thanks for letting me hack your version Jack. You are so kind

I put up a different take with 444s & Tamis music & my crap across the top. Im thinking this song does not need a guitar solo, unless Im just not finding where one would go....I dunno. Im not a huge fan of "solos". In the end Ill be the first to admit that the song must dictate the direction of any "soloist". I might just suck too, thats always a possibility!!!! LOL
