It's a short attention span home songwriting extravaganza. 10 songs in around 10 minutes.

Keep an eye on the forums, and the forum off-topic area. Read those music magazines. Remember the "Place Name" challenge and send your one minute songs in if you have them - try it's it's extremely liberating.

Let us know if you want to add lyrics and vocals to Dave's tune.
