Voted. I really enjoyed the varied interpretations this month, possibly due to the fact there's a video and a photo ? Well done all.... Nige

In for another go this month... https://soundcloud.com/nigel-jewell/does-paloma-matta I couldn't shake that first thought when I saw the photo, and that's that !!

+1 for the above.... I've stuck only with picture, and the first thoughts I had when seeing it !! Got nowt with the video , so stuck with the original idea.... T'is a basic ditty ,but I've just realised there's a bit of a "Pictures of Lily" theme in there !! nige

+1 to all the above.. Remember, the hardest bit's over.....well done !! nige

Images of my first tv idol (crush!) Paloma Matta........came back to me with that image. Waited for ages every show for her,but that bloomin boy and his dog got in the way....I was only little !! Nige Oh by the way thanks for the t-shirt people........normal service will be resumed this month !!

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1458137337' post='3005022'] I [i]do[/i] have an idea in my head, so I might try to flesh it out albeit very hastily one evening early next week. [/quote] So that's your secret winning formula ......one night only !!

Both 'the boy' and 'Lurks' have summed up this months' effort for me...... Struggling on with a piece that's slowly going up its own alley is not the way.....so I've left alone for a day or three and hopefully somethin' will pop in the empty space......!! Nige

Thin pick, play from the wrist and tap a couple of holes into the pic with a screwdriver for grip.......works for me.. and I've got a thumb and permanently broken forfinger (index) only on me right hand due to accident... good luck. Nige

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1457629068' post='3000408'] - "One day I want to be in spinal tap"...... [/quote] Brilliant........!!! Have a real hoot.... Just a tad jealous

Very neat prizes... augurs well for another bumper crop this month !! However , we would like it to be known that we shall not forsake our ' one monthly voter' ,(maximum) in the pursuit of riches,baubles and prizes. We shall endevour to keep our 'artistic integrity' intact and not pander to the masses..................mmmmm... Nige [size=1]but if i do win..large or extra large ?[/size]

[quote name='alittlebitrobot' timestamp='1456932740' post='2993713'] Here's a playlist for the 11 that are on SoundCloud [/quote] Ta much.........duly voted.... nige ,

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1456877169' post='2993239'] No, I'm not going to write up a 5-page diatribe [/quote] Diatribe.......One of my favourite words !! Nice image Skol......I'm getting Dorothy meets Angus meets Fogerty (John or Carl !) meets Sibelius !!!!!

Good stuff Skol, well deserved ........... .....next !!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1456763022' post='2991983'] Joint third? I'll take that. [/quote] There's still time for a late surge !!!!!

I echo all the comments above.... and will add that,for me, these reviews are as much a part of the competition as the pieces themselves... thanks Douglas, Nige

Voted..............Winners one and all !!

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1455109857' post='2975955'] I really enjoyed that. It fits perfectly. It sets a mood, and is very much 'there', without distracting from the voice, and allowing us (rather than you, if you see what I mean) to interpret what is meant by the words, and the images, and the point of the piece. Nicely done. [/quote] +1 Exactly !

Some rather good entries there,, But I'm putting mine up anyway.... https://soundcloud.com/nigel-jewell/divedivedive nige

Sounds like we're all making headway....... Whilst the good lady is working today, I've had a bit of a 'Spinal Tap' moment and had everything turned up to 'eleven'. Gone for a live feel due to my lack of eq/mixing ability in this area !!! Nige

A very worthy winner.....well done Doug !
