I'm similar. Last night I came up with a lyric that featured "Bare Bones". No other words, just "Bare Bones" so far, so still some work to do before I can declare whether I'm in or not.

The only way is up from there...

Me too - solo entry idea has entered the building... (Just need to learn jazz guitar comp to go with it  :P)

Don't forget rule 63.3(g)(iv) "habitual finger pickers must use boxing gloves at all times". It's only fair...

I'll be in with a (probably) spooky solo effort (though it's very early days for the tune and i haven't written any lyrics yet) and have hatched a plot to hopefully get a collaboration entry in too :)

I'm in. This gave me the motivation to make something out of a scrap I've had lying around for ages. Just got to make a decent recording....ooh, my fingers :'(

OK...you can count me in for at least a solo effort, maybe a collab ::) No inspiration yet, but I seem to
do best when under the gun...pressure...two days before the deadline  ;D ;D ;D

I´m up for a colab as I haven´t done one for a while. I have a full set of lyrics and a basic verse which I think works quite well. I need someone to make a cracking tune out of the chorus though. Any takers?

This competition has been most inspirational already! I seem to have an entry practically writing itself! Probably put the mockers on it now by boasting. Oh well, I'm having fun at least.

I'm up and running with this now...

Got a bare bones acoustic guitar + vocal murder ballad on the go...I thought I might as well make it a little unsettling, seeing as it worked so well for me in the last competition (Adolf + Eva, anyone  :-X)

I figured i'd go totally bare bones this time and record it all on my iPhone...figuring how to do that now and finalising lyrics...

Might even chuck in some whistling. Dixie, perhaps   ;)

Keep those entries coming...and remember...

New songs, please :)
