First off, I didn't mean to kick Spaz off bass. I somehow remembered that he offered to add vocals but forgot about bass. My bass is a rather cheap Squier MB-5 (because an odd number of strings is an absolute necessity
for me.) It's blue.
I need a scorecard here. Anyone else?
Elric - guitar
Yesspaz - bass, vocals
Roger.Lee - euphonium
roger - keys, vocals, bass, drums, vocals, some horns
tobyGnome - cello
moses - guitar, bass (trumpet if necessary, given the other horns available)
VAX - keys, 12 string guitar, trombone
sharcnorris - keys
fremder99 - drums (electronic kit)
progdirjim - drums
If we're starting with an instrumental then vocals are not necessary (unless we want backing "ahhhs" or something) so if Spaz wants to play the bass that's fine with me.
Elric - if you came up with an idea we can start with - even if it's just one 30-second section of the song - we could start there, even if it's not the beginning. Like kirk said, we can (digitally) splice away if we need to. The initial tracks should probably be played to a metronome (let us know the tempo!) or else the drummer could have a really rough time following the rest of us.
Drummers aren't meant to follow.
