Here ya go folks. For what it's worth. Did this in my living room with the 18' ceiling, so I ended up with a bit of natural "room" reverb.

Anyway. I think y'all will figure out the rock lyrics and the folk music mash up. With limited skills and having never really successfully recorded anything..... Went with some props. Fire in the fireplace. Bottle of JD on the table (although I had Buffalo Trace in the glass). With being a broke musician, I placed the case in front of me and seeded it with 30 cents and an IOU since most likely I'm gonna owe you guys for listening. Hopefully this works. Enjoy????

Nope. FB won't let me post it.

Give this a shot guys and let me know if it worked. Tried my drop box acct. Just click the link.

I really wanted to throw some spare coin in the case.
The sigh in the beginning got me though. lol
It almost said, “the crap I do for these knuckleheads”

Very nice! Worked well! Thanks for sharing!
 
WOW!!! A last minute entry by @iblive confirming the human urge to R&R (restfully relax) all night, and go potty every single day is another one of those universal human truths!

I myself do try.... Boy, do I. Don't always make it sadly.

A heartful and homey submission very grateful to see a sideliner jump in at the 11th hour! Easy on the booze soldier! Watch for it in the vote!

Good job Rick!
 
It’s time for our second RiffMasters Main Event Vote!
How exciting is this? Man, I've sooo been waiting for this!!!!!

Prior to voting, ALL MEMBERS OF TTR are URGED to check the wonderful and painstakingly catalogued (whoops! LOL!) selections shown,
or linked-to below. Please refresh your memory before voting, some entries came in weeks ago.


Going to take some time, but there's great listening to be had! I know the submitters will appreciate your carefully-considered choices.

During the next 48 hr. period, ALL TTR Members have NINE Folks To Give! You will cast those nine valuable votes blind. You will not be
able to see who voted for whom. You do not have to drop all nine, but once you vote, you cannot go back to vote again, or change a vote.
TO VOTE: Watch for Ballot Box Dick below! Directly above that sick pervert is the link to a fun new vote poll site.
You will need to enter your forum name/handle to vote but I think that is all. If you have issues PM me. Voting issues.

We are voting to decide on the best “Folk'd Up” entries.
Competitors were given five weeks "folk up" a rock tune, OR "rock up" a folk tune.

Your votes are your own, but... I trust all TTR members / competitors will judge responsibly.
I suggest preferred "RiffMastery" criteria should include your impressions of the following:

1. Musicality / Creativity
2. Song Choice / Presentation

3. General Entertainment Factor

I think I can speak for most who wouldn't much care for votes gained simply on forum "popularity" or "seniority."
Please judge the work, not the worker. Votes & points are a distraction from the Creative Musical Fellowship
goals of the game, in place only to spur our competitive spirit. We all win just by taking part, or cheering on.

Here's your super-fab choices in order of submission for Main Event Stage 2:

Down with the Sickness - C-Grin


Symphony of Destruction - TVvoodoo


If I Were A Carpenter - ClockworkMike


Fight For Your Right to Party - LiveeviL2000


That Woman is Driving Me To Drinkin' - SG John



Pussie Willow - Sapient

Top Vote to be awarded 10 RiffMaster points. Second / Third place 7 points ea.
All other “Opening Act” submissions earn 5 participation points just by submitting.
In the event of a tied vote for any position, the earlier submission rules over the later.

Now YOU get to pass judgement on these twelve sweet musical selections submitted for our enjoyment!
A variety of tunes, folk songs rocked, rock songs folked. Even one original. Thank you to all brave enough
to submit. Hope you had fun! And I am glad to see nobody opted out of the vote!
Once this poll closes Saturday evening, points will be awarded and Main Event #3 can be revealed.

Please feel free comment below to discuss your votes, why and how, to keep this thread boosted
and active for the next couple days!

I do recognize that you have a lot on your plate sir, but where’s my kazoo masterwork? Am I missing it?
