I partly agree with this suggestion. But, I *don't* think those with records
out should be excluded. And to add to that, I don't think anyone's
contribution should be deemed as 'not good enough'.

This whole thing was suggested to be a project by, and for, the Acid Jazz
list. So *everyone* should be included, regardless of ability or past
(and/or present) recording history. Maybe the only restriction could be that
those with records out would have to compose a new toon, specifically for
this compilation.

By the sounds of things we'll have no problems filling a CD - but, if we get
more than enough I think we should look at the possibilities of a 2nd CD, or
shortening the tracks (aaarrrghhh! did I *say* that) of everyone's
contributions, so that they would all fit on the one CD.

This is a once in a lifetime thing for most of us - imagine - having one of
*your* songs on a CD. It's the sort of thing you'll play with pride to your
grandchildren!! So, I think it's essential that no-one is excluded from this
opportunity.

yeah
