At least 2 of the entrants must be forum members, one of whom must have been a member before October 1st.
Quick question, as I would not want to 'disgruntle' anyone:
I unexpectedly teamed up with Fourtwo (Neil) the other day to enter the competition. We have been in touch and I have written what I reckon is the bulk of the lyrics along with the structure (Yay me!

); he will be looking after the production end (as well as everything else I can't do)
I have a good friend who lives nearby and plays guitar (competently). In fact, he suggested this website to me when I started out. He is not a member of the forum.
I would very much like to ask him to co-write the music with with me (Lennon/McCartney

). I think I would learn a lot, but more importantly, it would be good fun.
Who knows, we might even gain a new member to the forum?
I would do the vocals and we would both 'play' guitar and send it off to Neil.
Is that within (the spirit of) the rules?
Cheers
