Kudos to you big time

Well done! A brave attempt, but not quite there yet... :wink:

Unfortunately, I can't deal with the corrections until after Nelsonica as every hour of every day is needed to get things ready for the convention. Plus, of course, I'd need to listen carefully to JTA myself to correct all of the above because I don't hold this stuff in my mind. (The lyrics were written many months ago now and I've recorded at least four cd's of music since then! But I'll try to straighten the lyrics out for you later.)

I am really looking forward to hearing this CD; and that will be sometime tomorrow afternoon!

Of course Bill i will grant you Leave!
Are we saying that you don't have hard copy of the lyrics for reference,Bill?

No, there are no hard copies of lyrics. I never type up the lyrics...they're either scribbled, almost illegibly, on scraps of notepaper, (with tons of crossings out and alterations,) or they are completely improvised, spontaneously, as I sing to 'tape' during the actual recording process. Consequently, to inform you guys of the correct lyric, I have to go back and listen to the damn recording, line by line! :wink:

I don’t understand. Surely someone here can understand what Bill is singing? I’ll assume he still sings in english and hasn’t gone all Liz Fraser on us. :lol:

Can someone help out PO with the correct lines? Bill appears to be busy. Probably painting the shed or summat. :lol:

Do you listen to the lyrics? Bill uses some obscure references from time to time, as well as sometimes the vocal is not front and center. I have to applaud PO as well for a heroic effort. Good show! I would make some small changes but agree with 95%. The one small complaint I have with the vocal songs is the lack of printed lyrics. The good news is the music is so good I can deal with a few mysterious lyrics

asterisk · **Posted:** Sun Aug 05, 2012 2:33 pm

Of course. The lyrics are just as important as the instrumental bits. May even take longer than the music to complete. But I was just asking if someone could help Puzzle oyster out. Seems someone may be able to. I would but I don’t have the album in question. :oops:

And I agree, printed lyrics would be very nice indeed. :wink:

I assumed someone already had corrected them with red text. Probably felixt1 :wink:
