Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I have an urgent request for ysi/sendspace of some good/recognizable cover songs to be played at a public event this THURSDAY. I have some on my computer and elsewhere, but I would appreciate any links you can send my way (PM if you're uncomfortable posting them publicly, although this request doesn't violate VC rules as I read them). I would guess we need a couple hours' worth, preferably with no repeats. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Welll that kinda kills my idea...

It's novelty stuff for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 I finished downloading and burning this morning, and dropped off the last of the tunes at the office today, and they are working out the playlist for the event. Everybody is very excited. A gigantic THANK YOU to everyone. You've come through with much more than we had any business hoping for, in two days no less. It looks like we have all that we need and more for the fashion show, and I'm looking forward to diving into the big pile of covers as soon as things calm down a bit around here. Thanks again!
