How the heck do you join this group? this is impossible. I will never be using gather, this is impossible to figure out.

What a great thing to do! I just uploaded my song, "Man Behind the Curtain". I'd love to have it added to the list....

Hello... I uploaded my video for Songs from Scratch in MY PROFILE, then I joined the Minnesota Music GROUP but I cannot upload my video in this group directly. How can I get my video to be posted in the group next to the other participants????

Hi Juan, that's a quick fix!

Head to your song.
Click on "edit"
Under "Who Can View this" expand to show all available groups
Select the Minnesota Music Group
Save

If you run into trouble I'll see if someone has screenshots!

This list makes it so easy to sample the talent out there - and there's a lot of it.

Kay, I am not sure if I posted the song right. Also, I noticed that the rules never said I had to put all the lines in order so I messed with that. I think adam was messing with us with some of those lyrics.... Seriously, Namaste and Ohm? what happened to laughing lips and eyes and hips? anyway, hopefully the song posted.
cheers

Hi. Could you put "All Rods Lead Home" by Ukulele Pete on the List? Thanks.

Ukulele Pete Jul 25, 2008, 10:54pm EDT

Actually, that's "All ROADS..."

And.......... I'm caught up with the list, but I need to take a listen.

Julie,
I uploaded my song and could not find the "Minnesota Music Group" in the drop down menu of Who can view this. I joined the MN Music Group - or at least I thought I did....
It's past midnight and I'm confused.

reply to this comment

Steve Smith Jul 30, 2008, 1:10am EDT

Me again....I think I fixed the problem. Could you please add "Ruby Slipper Girl" to the song list. That would be swell. Thanks Julie. I'm going to bed now.

Julia Schrenkler Jul 30, 2008, 9:14am EDT

Got, it Steve. Thanks!

Hello, I've just finished the final touches to a Musical Theater piece for the Songs From Scratch.

Check and check, That Guy and Rube DKB. I'll have to take a listen!

Please add our song "iimu" to the list above. We uploaded our song a few hours ago. We (The Plops) are returning for the second year, but this time my son is featured, as he created the melody, plays lead bass, and sings. We wrote the lyrics together and pulled an all night sesh recording to make the deadline. Result: sweet beauty. We had a certain feel we were seeking to match our concept and are happy with the vibe. Really fun project.

Julia Schrenkler Aug 1, 2008, 9:12am EDT

Glad you had fun with it, Pete! Your song is added to the list.

Dan Olmschenk Aug 1, 2008, 12:02pm EDT

beaufitul (wizard in us) is a great song... but.. Are you going to feature any other tunes on the main page? It just seems like it has been up for quite awhile.

reply to this comment

Dan Olmschenk Aug 1, 2008, 12:02pm EDT

Again, I mean no dis.

Julia Schrenkler Aug 1, 2008, 2:36pm EDT

No disrespect taken, Dan. I'll talk with the producers!

It was a fun challenge even though I hate deadlines. I got my entry in after this was posted. My song is called "Roads Home"

Thank you for the chance to be heard! This was a lot of fun, even though (as Kevin said) I hate deadlines... Please check out "Had It All The Time". See ya next year!!! :)

You know what I would love? An RSS feed with all these MP3's on it. Then I could listen to all these great songs as a podcast! Is that a technical possibility? Tell me it's so, oh please, oh please!
