I want to do a duet thing with the Ent/Entwife poem that Treebeard sings to Merry and Pippin... I'd need some one to do the entwife part and... well, I'm not sure how to actually do that, because they alternate...

Oh, and curse my error-riddled computer... it went blue at the sound of a flute.

Ya, with a flute it would sound nice. I just relistend to it to try to catch your voice and it got really clear on that last note. You have a nice voice from what I could catch.

*comforts about the comp* Don't comps stinck at times?

Lol, but when in doubt... SPEED IT UP! HAHAHAHA!

I was working on the entmoot hop just a little while ago and... well... HAHAHAHA! I have GOT to put that up for yalls. I sounded like a chipmunk!!!! Hehehe. Almost died laughing.

Well, this computer has seen better days... I'm surprised it holds up as well as it does...

I took out the file for that previous one. I don't like it much anymore, but it was good practice. I might just focus on comedic peices now because I'm no good at sounding serious.

"The Entmoot Hop" sounds promising... and funny.

It's not much so far, but I'll be doing some more recording (and re-recording!):

http://mr_delish.tripod.com/mus.html

Lyrics as follows:

Protagonists endure
While antagonists deprave
I’ll emulate the former
In hopes I’ll never fade

Though darkness may surround me
Like heroes you’ve contrived
I’ll uphold my honor
As long as I’m alive

I read your classics, with thoughts to self-refine
Some others view it solely… as a profitable mine
Forgetting of the spirit that your works truly bear
I wish they’d reconsider, I wish that they would care

Thoughts? Suggestions? Is my voice coming through okay? TELL ME.

Oh, and our new computer is soooo sweet.

That portion comes from the middle of the song, obviously, but is a good example of the mood. By the way, the words are directed toward Tolkien himself (as though you couldn't figure that out on your own)... I really do enjoy the character he gave his characters.

I would appreciate any honest feedback... but not just praise, because I know it's not perfect.

It appears as though we have plenty of people that volunteer, but produce very little results.

That is to say, of course you can! Just do something. AIM me if you want help or suggestions.
