I am a singer songwriter, ex semi pro who can also play a little guitar. I have a very wide scope in music inc. some clasical,.. but I love doing vocal harmonies, and have songs on YouTube,.. https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=U This is a great idea to split into 3 groups,.. each group can share ideas.! Among my fav's are... 'The Eagles'--'Pink Floyd'--'Crosby Stills Nash Young'--'Smokey'--'America'--'James Taylor'----'Supertramp'--....and others.! I would like someone to send me an mp3/wav somg so I can add harmonies.! Tally (Paul Robson)

I agree with most of whats been said,.. I did all the rock stuff in 3 bands in the past,. Deep Purple - Led Zeplin - etc etc. . but although I still love some rock, I got rather tired of all the long drawn-out lead breaks most obviously are improvised! But these days I'd rather sit down with a couple of guys/girls, and do accoustic stuff with 3 nice voices.. but thats just me,.. in answer to your question,.. The pubs have quite a few rock bands.. great live music.! thing is these days, it's good looking, sexy singers that are taking the limelight,.. for eg. .. 'Take That' .. 'Boy Zone' .. 'Westlife' .. 'Girls Allowed' .. 'Spicegirls',.. Now it's 'One Direction' .. to mention just a few,... I don't think any of them play instruments... grrrrrrr.. but they get the girls/boys..lol Tally

Hi John,.. that is a very very good and valid question. .. I am a huge lover of harmonies, as you may find out when you listen to my stuff,.. I love anything from Choirs .. Opera .. Barbershop .. and do all of my own vocals,.. having said that,.. a production can also have to many harmonies,.. I always say you can get too much of a good thing.. in the past bands like, E.L.O. .. Smokie .. and some others .. had a distinctive harmony sound which I still love .. and then some bands just put a beautiful harmony in a couple of places,.. and lifts the song. I supose its just down to personal preferences,.. but I think harmonies have to be produced in the right place.... I love doing them. Tally

'Castles' is my own compo, and all voices are mine. It is a simple love song,.. and when a man is in love, he is high.. sad though, because in the end,.. like castles,..Love can come tumbling down. [media=]

I think musicians like to hear thier songs played in the room,..also they like listening to others own stuff as they chat, so.. maybe like a juke-box room with a song list made up of members songs,.. I am sure if a person gave me constructive criticism on one of my songs I would listen,.. maybe it would start some sort of collaboration where couples or more can record a song.. I have an 8 track which is good quality,.. all it neeeds is for someone to send a wave/mp3 file and build on it.. I am game. Tally
