Clabber, Clabber, Clabber, Clabber-ation that is...
So a while back I posted the working tracks for this song in the critique forum and got some suggestions about what else would work with it. At this point, I'd like to open the floor and INVITE any of yall to grab the tracks, add instruments, vocals, comments, arrangement ideas, whatever with the idea that anyone interested can help me in getting this song out of the scratch-pad form and into something finished.
The working tracks can still be heard at:
This Link Here (http://dikledoux.com/mp3_files/TheSunWorkingTracks.mp3)
And if you want to get individual MP3s of the drums, guitars and vocals as each a stereo file you can go to:

I also have the 24bit 44.1k wav files, but I figured I'd hold off on that until things move along. For now, I believe I've got the bandwidth with my webhost to handle uploads for days, but if everyone can keep their submittals to 128k MP3 files until things get sorted out it'd be a help.
Song Notes: ALL OF THE EXISTING TRACKS ARE SCRATCH TRACKS. I don't intend for these to be final tracks or even this arrangement to be necessarily final. I don't even wanna be the singer on the thing cuz I KNOW there are those amongst us that can absolutely nail this song. The tempo is at 85 bpm and the key is somekinda general C major. I wrote it when I was trying out "new standard tuning" (as used by Robert Fripp, I believe) because it was too glorious sounding to pass up. I stumbled across the entire thing, so I don't have the slightest idea what the chord changes actually are, and they're open for alteration just like EVERYTHING ELSE.
The only direction I can give at this point is: Think of what it feels like when you're outdoors on a gorgeous day and you look up at the sun and close your eyes and you can't HELP but grin like a kid. That's what the chords I stumbled on made me feel like and that should be the guiding vibe.
So...
I humbly submit to the whim of the mob and anyone who wants to have a go at it all the way through mixing is welcome. Whatcha got?

PS - yes, I know that CaPE is coming up (and you can bet yo' ass I'll be involved in that). But I'm going by all indications that the clabber forum isn't just about CaPE, it's about pushing the envelope on the idea of collaboration over the web and I've made a pre-NewYearResolution to get off my ass and start writing again. I figger this is the best place to start. No time like the present, no?
