Hey gang, I have this idea. thought I'd run it by ya's.I have this idea,I've had it for awhile now, You know we all occasionly,some more than others,love to stand up and let loose that thing we call our voices. What if you had the chance to karioke to the Hip. When the Hip do their tour,they have in tow this traveling mini recording studio where you can sing your favorite hip tune,live or studio and for a certain amount of coin you can have your performance burnt to disk.And a portion of this money would go to a charity.You would also have the option of letting the crowd hear you or not. I don't think any band has done this,not that I know of,so the Hip would be breaking new ground. I have no idea what kinda dough it would take to get this off the ground,but I assume with todays advances in technology something could be scared up.But I guarantee whatever the cost,people would be into it. I'm not sure about anyone on the Hipbase but I'm a closet rock star and the Hip inspired me to be. At first I thought poeple thought I stank,but now I don't even care what poeple think. I get a tremendous feeling when I hum(Hum=sing) along to their music. Really charges my batteries.I'd bet $27.39 that every member of the hipbase would try it out,because we all now that feeling of pure ecstacy when we get behind the music,any music. Maybe 20 years hence we could play the recording for the grand kids and say"yup back in 0dd 4,the Hip,bless their souls came out with a travellin music machine(tryin to sound like a grizzled old prospector) Hey it may free up the beer trough. :mrgreen: Maybe some of our favorite bands will add this to their shows.I think we all sing,in one form or another.Maybe I'm venturing off topic but, Music is not just one of life's pleasantries-the laws of harmonics are some of the most basic in our universe.The elements,the planets and the stars vibrate at specific frequencies.Music is structure.Giving form and substance to the naked air.Held together with harmony and released by melody,it reaches everywhere. The human voice is our instrument,which is capable of imatating all others.Crying out loud,yelling,crooning,growling,Nothing cheers someone up so much as to sing out loud. Not knowing music is like not knowing how to swim.there's no reason for it except neglect.Some people say they have no ear for music,take heart, an aptitude can be developed. This to me is more so about cosmic awareness,not a career in rock n roll. I really think this could work with of course the help from the Hip.Whatever the cost it will pay for itself,not to mention all the money for charity.I know there's alot to this but hopefully someone from the Hips camp reads the forum.You know how you can see into the future,I've seen something great about this!It can inspire,bring people together and we all need more of that. And lets face it,if our favorite bar had any selections of TTH to karioke to we'd be there every night,well i'd be every night.I just feel so much good can come of this.People could make friends,possibly start a garage band.the possibilities are endless I tells ya.
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!
