    Default When Is The Cover Fest Reveal Deadline?

    I've got a simple idea for turning a rock song into country. I don't play country music, so this should be a little bit challenging for me. Perhaps, I should find a country song to turn into a rock song just in case.

    I have no idea, but I haven't started a single song.

    Maybe, we have a few weeks. I can throw something together in a few days as long as it doesn't have to be good. In fact, extra time probably won't add much polish to anything I do.

    TO be completely honest, I always finish mine the night before. So I guess the deadline doesn't really matter.

    I mean I may *start* early but it never gets finished until right before. Probably why my mixes always suck.

    I think it's due on the 31st of June.

    I just have to sing and learn how to play like Joe Pass and I'll be done.

    That does rather resemble my songs as well - though I sometimes finish one day early....

    My wife and I recorded a cover of "something stupid" but it's not particularily different than what you'd expect that song to sound like (based on Nicole & Robby's version) so I guess it doesn't qualify. I played everything on it: drums, percussions, bass, electric, nylon... and I sing.

    The theme is recording a cover of a song in a different style/genre than the original, but you can submit anything you want really.
    Themes here are more of a challenge for those of us who like that really.

    I have a great idea for a song, but don't know when I'll get around to learning and recording it.

    It needs to be a medley with a vocal arrangement of the drum solo from Inna Gadda Davida
