     I’m cheating slightly in that it’s a recording a did a while ago, just need to get the file off my laptop. 

    It's not cheating. The rules don't stipulate that the recording has to be done within the time of the challenge. It just states you have to submit before the deadline. Older versions you've already recorded are absolutely fine 
    E-mail sent with the MP3.
    Got it... that’s 3 versions finished... are we all still happy to wait to hear them or do we start a playlist now?

    I'm really keen to hear what the others have come up with, bit I'd say wait till all entries are in.

    I don't mind either way. For the full Composition Challenge I hold of until the end, but with the '...of the Month' challenges I add to the playlist as I receive them. That's mainly because the full tunes of the Composition Challenge are more significant endeavours whereas the '...of the Month' challenges are a bit more off-the-cuff and it's good to get a discussion going about approaches.

    It's not a competition.

    Got a version finished.  I'll re-evaluate tonight.  It's not what I wanted to make but PC noise in the heat we've been having buggered all my plans right up!

    Will check I can tolerate it later and click submit!

    You should see the doctor if involuntary leakage is that much of an issue after a beer

    Submitted.
    I planned something different, but was scuppered so reverted to form  :o ... dodgy vocals and all ... oh and hand claps.  Because who doesn't love hand claps.

    Happy to go with the majority vote @poopot ;

    If everyone planning on entering has submitted tracks then we could pull the trigger. But if people are still working on their entries then it might be better to hold off until they're all in. 

    Speaking of which I'll email something over tonight

    Okay. It seems there's an appetite for a playlist of entries thus far.

    I'm mindful that there are still people who have expressed intent (such as @thecolourbox @sev112 @meltedbuzzbox) who wouldn't yet be in the playlist. There's still loads of time left to enter so no need to panic. You can leave it until the last second as far as I'm concerned - no extra points for being quick off the mark) 

    If everyone would like a playlist for amusement/inspiration then let me know and we can pull the trigger early. I'm also more than happy to wait until the deadline if need be

    I don't mind if everybody else is happy to hear stuff as and when it's done, whether or not anybody likes mine won't hinge on whether they hear it now or in a couple of weeks as it's bloody awful

    I probably won't listen before I've done mine in case it puts me off or I just think... Yeah there's no point sharing mine Haha but don't let that stop you

    I completely forgot about this :-(
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.
