I cannot think of a greater pleasure right now (well, there are a coupla things, like winning a zillion dollars and stuff) than to meet up with you two in the Canaries and sample some of that "Formulae Especial"

I am convinced we'd have an incredibly enjoyable time!

Cheers,

You can bet anything on that ! But that's also the reason I stopped drinking 2 years ago.

Wich means that my house is now filled with all kinds of beer, wine, licors, whatever... 'cose I didn't stop buying it (it would have meant the complete breakdown of licor business on the island).

Mello isn't a big drinker either; after half a pint he starts already dancing the Mazurka on a table ! So we could use some help indeed...

Mello is an Obelix-case; I think he was born in a beer barrel on some plantage and that did it.
His only vices are heavy sex with his girlfriend and a sigaret after.
He smokes a lot though...

Smoky Max... .. .

just the verse is a bit confused, refrain is great
Thanks for the words liqih

The 'Brazilian Country Music' lyrics might have been less confusing if I had written them in Portuguese eh?

no, <grin>, sorry I meant the arrangment of the verse not the lyrics

Liqih - you're track is great!!! So minimal, concise and clear! And again it's a extremely pleasant way of universal folk. Elegant!

oh! thanks so much thomekk!
actually I was worried it was too simple,

but your words turned on the light,
really big thanks, <grin>

Has anyone successfully retrieved goldbaker's "Dies Irae - Day of Wrath". That fileden link just isn't working for me.

I don't know how, but every month I can download everybody's song...

I still don't know if that is good or bad either...

I'm having problems with Duncanparsons link. The file stops loading after about an 8% download as well as streaming.

Anyone else?

Edit: Nevermind, it's my internet connex. I can't get anything

Oh I see..

Indeed I suppose it does. I'd like to propose two reasons for that:

1. It's a very difficult task to meld one's style to that of a quirky genius like Freezey, but I certainly did enjoy trying

2. Since the above is merely a nonsense excuse that I made up (except for Freezey's genius), the truth is that, if you listen to any song I have ever written and posted to KVR (and 99% of those I have never posted to KVR), none of them follow the standard verse pattern, and I do that on purpose because I am adverse to the standard verse pattern (dumb pun).

Sometimes it works, and other times...

For this song though, it just 'felt' right to me.

I thank you sincerely much for the observation though -- you are indeed exactly spot on about it and I thought about it a lot before I settled on that pattern as being better than the others I had tried. But I can blame this mainly on my prog-rock & jazz background also.

Also, because of the amount of attention I tried to pay to doing a true-to-form cross-genre addition to Freezey's original tune, I am listening to all the other songs much more deeply than I would have in the past in trying to discern the differences and mixes of genre -- some of them being quite subtle -- and when listened to in that frame of mind, turn out to be excellently and thoughtfully contrived.

So, in effect, what I thought was going to turn out to be more of a humourous exercise than anything else, I am hearing some very well done & professionally considered attempts at a real cross-genre product. Cool eh?

Hard to believe the talent in this place sometimes

Cheers,
Alex
