Well, here's what I've done so far with James Stone's nice song. It's a rough draft because I have a week-to-ten-day trip tomorrow, it's after midnight (US Mountain Time, -7 UTC), and I have to get some sleep. I can't do any more until I get back home. The collaborative version is here: http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/ogg/james-stone_steve-doonan_shining-sun.ogg If anyone (who cares to hear it at all) wants to compare this with James's original version, it's here: http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/ogg/james-stone_shining-sun.ogg --and also at James's site (consult LAU archive of this thread). Thank you James for letting me "have at it" with your song. I hope I didn't wreck it. I just had fun with the process. ;-) Best wishes, Steve D -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- The more severe the problem, the more obvious the solution.
