Vina, Big Thing, Chickengrease, and all the other great keyboarders in this org. I have a song - my original direction was like "If You Want Me To Stay" by Sly. But, with me playing the keys, it comes too close now. I want something different but similar.

So, I've mixed the song without the keys and would like one of you guys to please try to add some organ to the thing, but so that it DOESN'T totally sound exactly like "If you want me to stay".

Yes, I know, the bass line and vocals already push the song in that direction. That's why I'm asking you real keyboard players to take a stab at the song.

A minor. You build it from there. I wanted the verses to be C major and the chorus return to A minor, but what the hell do I know.

Yo B, I like your vocal dude. You r getting better and better.

I'll check it out for U and get back. Organ playing is the shit, I'm not the greatest but I'll see what comes to mind.
It will either just come to me or not.

Sweet!

i'm gonna get in on this too. i'll post a link when it's finished.

Ooooh, if you were kinda going in a Sly direction, then Manki is your man. I'll send him a note about this thread. He's got some groovy vintage keyboard sounds too.

I like the song a lot. Dig the baseline and your vocals.

I gots lots of projects going right now, about 4 songs I'm working on.

I agree with Vina, Manki would be perfect for this tune.

Another really cool direction/sound for you, don't forget us when you make it big.

I would love to do something with it but it turns out that i am only a half decent keyboard player (and even then only on my own songs)

I love the song though!!!

Hey, if u ever need a kickass solo too, I'm here!!!

Go ahead and put something on top of the song if you can - do you use software to record? I'd be interested to hear what you'd add.

I use cool edit pro. I'll see what flows.
What type of solo would u go for?

I would do the same old solo I always do - whatever flows at the moment.

Cool, thats what I like to hear, I'll try a few things. make a few copies for ya. I'll dick around with it tonight.
I'll even try stuff through out the whole song, see what happens.

Ooooh-weee this shit has got me brainstorming hard. I love you, man!!! If I get a chance, I'm gonna play with it this weekend. In addition to organ, I hear wah-clavinet and rhodes.

Eeeeh-xactly. And thats why you're in my band!

Hey otan, u get my org note with link to a version with my guitars on it.

FIELD TRIP.

Imagine y'all getting together for a 'live' jam. Hell if Prince can do it...so can NFO. Should get together with Ben on this for the next Org Celebration.

I'd buy a ticket.
