The Challenge goes on! Two new mixes just in from the uber-talented and oft overheated mind of reclusive madman MC DD von H. Both build on the original piano number plus eb’s stellar vocals. First up is Radio Cauliflower, a…

Project “Fun-Time Challenge Project” Presents: Straight Up: Cauliflower
About a week and a half ago I posted a short piano number and asked folks to mess around with it. Here’s a brief recap of the excellent and harmonically vivid versions we’ve gotten back so far: Cauliflower Melon (the…
Project “Fun-Time Challenge Project” Presents: Tower of Cauliflower
To briefly recap, a week ago I posted a short piano piece and asked folks to mess around with it. Bob and eb tossed down swank slide and vocal interps respectively. Now the Dread Pirate Yaniv Soha joins the fray.…

For Every Man There’s a Woman
Good golly do I love the standards. A while back, you may recall, I posted covers first of “Bye Bye, Blackbird,” and then (with a lotta help from eb and Eileen Dahl) “Second Hand Rose.” Great tunes, both. Here’s the…
