The piece comes over as being put
together, rather than existing in a natural acoustic setting.
Oh it's a composite alright - recorded in three different
countries, and played by people who have never met each
other.
A circumstance that makes it very hard for the players to listen to
each other and co-operate stylistically and rhythmically. It's easy
to phrase together when you can see each other (a little rehearsal
doesn't hurt either :-)


What I would like to see (hear) is dozens of people in different
locations
playing in a great big, brought together Bonzo Dog 'Intro Outro' type of
piece - then we could YouTube it!!

That would be great fun. BD were were a very good band.
Maybe The Temperance Seven is more our style?

Hmm....

A) I never liked them that much

OK. Only an idea. We could play highlights from
Meistersingers instead, but with a drum machine, some
sampled French horns, and Madonna shouting "Hey"
at various points. Or......


and B) It is a very *virtuosic* playing
style - is anybody up to that yet?

It's only a matter of practice, and blowing into
the sharp end and waggling your fingers, just
as the lady said.

Not to mention the vocal - but I bet SN could do it!

I had you in mind for that, Keith.
Bring your own megaphone.
