Hey BB & Ferryman, thanks for the slowcoach support about 3 pages back - this thread is moving like wildfire...

FuzzFace, you're on fire, you get my vote to run the show

a group of musicians have success online sending mp3s wav files et al to and fro via the www. not because they have met over the internet and are taking advantage of new cyber technology, but because they all hate each other so much that cant be in the same room together, they even have court orders that insist they dont come within three miles of each other.

i can see it in lights now

What a great concept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did it go?  It just vanished, maybe that was part of the story, that is was all just a dream and it all went poof and vanished.  That is quite the concept Rob, so realistic too, I was reading it and it just vanished, I mean, I went to the bathroom, I was just getting to the ending, where all would be revealed, and poof, its gone.  Its like the meaning of life, you go to the bathroom and poof, its all gone, flushed down the toilet of time as it were.  Grand gesture there.

Very cool idea. If I can be useful to this somehow, i'd like to be a small part.

The vanishing posts .... that's a theme for the opera right there !

    I'm sure some of you freaks'll have heard this masterpiece. It's one of my favourite albums of all time. 'They fuck you up, your mom and dad...'

A personal fave, actually. Glad to be included with the freaks.

I'm also gonna throw my two cents in. I'd be more than happy to contribute (or not as is deemed necessary) but I'm thinking it would be fun to have a hodgepodge of musical ideas and genres. Why not have a country standard be followed by a rap? And if it were me making the decision (and I'm not volunteering) It'd be a rough outline (like the one fuzz has made) where people can add more specific parts of the journey or not and sign up for a section and just write it. Then at the end it is all put together.

It'd be a compilation album not by genre but by storyline. It'd be less 'the wall' and more 'Raunchy Business' (which is a collection of raunchy songs not necessarily genre related.)

A compromise between the two views (one is a limited scope of type of music etc, the other being a hodge podge) would be once the tracks were assembled there'd be some collaborations that would connect the pieces instrumentally. It'd be super fun trying to write something that'd connect that country song to that rap song.

ON THE OTHER HAND, if you guys do get it together and have it be a cast of characters throughout, it'd be a huge undertaking with lots of problems to solve, but it has a much bigger upside in possibility. I'd still be willing to help, but I'm not sure how/what to contribute. Possibly we could write songs and then the director could pick and choose the ones that fit the best (as was suggested earlier) so we'd have kind of an audition fest in the works. Plus there would be the possibility of the bonus second disc (or third) of alternate not used material.
