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!

Frank
