Paul's point is reasonable but I'm more aligned with virtual 
collaboration presenting fewer challenges of the variety I've 
encountered.  YMMV.

I wanted to comment on a couple other messages - Hey Marc, I wouldn't be 
AT ALL surprised if this turns out fine.  Great even.  Given the thin 
talent I have access to here, umm...myself included, if the players here 
are accomplished and talented, and I've listened to some postings that 
suggest so, and if the base track proves empowering and fruitful, and if 
folks apply themselves, I truly believe that EVEN a complete work or 
album is possible.

Julien - that's a good name for the project.  Maybe even the band.  
Other names for the "band" acknowledging its virtual nature might be:

Cloud
Ghost
Strangers
Links
whatever...
