Rock Opera / Concept Album: The Picasso Album (working title)

[Greeny]

Expressed interest on original thread: Henwrench, Greeny, Bluesberry, TC Elliot IIRC (may be others.....)

Just to clarify, I'm the miserable party-pooper at the back who DOESN'T want to be involved, lol. I've got too many other creative things that I'm working on, and I'm one of those control freaks who get freaked out when they're not doing all the writing and steering themselves.

Duly noted Tim. Consider this party pooped :-)

If it's OK, I'd like to have a crack at 'Boy Leading A Horse'. I have absolutely no idea what I'm gonna do yet, but from the off, that was the title and lyrics that made old henwrench wanna lay an egg.
     If any of those members involved in the direction of this project want to PM me with any kind of parameters, please do!

Cool Henwrench, the list is now as follows:

Cup of Coffee 

The Lovers - Geir

Barcelona Beach 

Desmoiselles d'Avignon

Salomé - Cuthbert

Boy Leading A Horse - Henwrench

Blind Minotaur (Led By A Girl)

Guernica 

The Old Guitarist 

Joie de Vivre   

The Dove of Peace   

[Ferryman]

BTW, if no one else fancies the Dove of Peace I would be interested in doing something on that if I can encourage Fuzz Face to create a political edge to his lyrics.....

But only if no one else wants to do something for it.

Cheers,

Nigel

I'm in for Salomé. And I will resist the urge to tell a dirty joke...  

I've got a busy schedule myself (including another BeatlesFest entry), so it may take a bit of time. May I consider the lyrics a starting off point and adapt them if necessary? If I made any changes, I'd stick with the theme of course. Or if it's preferred to stick with the lyrics, is a little tinkering okay?

[Bluesberry]

I'll sign up for "Barcelona Beach", I can hear some real cool possibilities while reading the lyrics.  It may end up all prog-rock by the time I am finished with it.  As per my usual working style, I will do all of it myself, my control freak tendencies make it easier on my head to take something like this and do the whole thing (ie no colaboration).  I like the lyrics as they are written, but, like Cuth, I would like permission to alter lyrics slightly if I find a line hard to sing or desn't quite fit with the music.

Me and AK will jump in for Guernica if no-one else has chosen it

[Bluesberry]

Fuzz, the more I read your lyrics, the more impressed I become.  I have been studying "Barcelona Beach" here all morning, thinking about music for it, and I just have to say, what a great set of lyrics, really, really good writing.  I am getting pretty excited from your lyrics, thinking about what music to put...inspired stuff Fuzz.
