Ken, oh ye of little faith! I'm grooving on the tunes others posted and
working on the chords for mine. I'm going to post a guitar part and
maybe a lyric concept to that 552.ogg bass part you posted - very cool,
and work up a guitar part for Phillippe's "Under My Neon Sky" - another
very cool piece, and loved Julien's "Summer Sorrow," I swear there's a
vocal coming and some riff fills, and in Drew's lyrics with Jeff's take
on them I might add a second guitar accompaniment, some fills, maybe a
harmony or counterpoint vocal, or maybe a different interpretation since
Drew only posted the lyric.
Problem is, I haven't recorded a single second of music! Moved all the
gear around, polished a couple of guitars, gargled to clear out my
throat, touched my toes ten times, but not a second of music.
Still...it's coming, it's coming. You can count on me for at least
vocals and rhythm and lead guitars...been doing this for a while and
only suck a little!

To prove the naysayers wrong, I'd encourage more folks to join in on the
collaboration and start, not adding new tracks or songs, but working on filling out and
finishing the ones that are already up there.
What's funny to me to watch, is the pattern of open source development getting
mirrored in the collaboration site: everyone doing their own thing individually instead of
working together towards a common goal.
For example: Julian's track (Summer Sorrow) has a lot of promise, it needs drum
programming really, a GOOD solid danceable beat. Anyone like playing with drum machines,
beats, and percussive samples? Jump right in on this one.
Then maybe it needs some more subtle synth sweeps and textures, and perhaps a melody or
vocal sample, and we'll have the one complete online collaboration, linux-only song.
Until that happens, unfortunately, the naysayers are right.

Once upon a time someone might have written,
"you guys are funny"
regarding open source code development.
LOL. I wish I had a dime for every naysayer I've heard re: Linux and
its
software since 1995, I'd be a rich man now.
