...well - I suggested things like that about a year ago - workshops to be held by academics or pro's to attract people to the Sawubona site. I even stated that if Ken Hensley would have been asked to make the same working efforts here online in such a workshop than "condensed" at the Cebit trade fair, we would have had great and lasting opportunities.

You know those transcript workshops in musician's magazines? That would be a level to share skills, while participators get tasks to perform "homeworks" and get feedback on the results.

After all, we still could build our own workshop - with a democratic amateur approach - call it an "open source music workshop".

The only thing that is keeping me back, is that we (not being famous pro's) may not find an audience for it - so I will hesitate in doing so.

Meanwhile - if you have a special task for me for your song, let me know!

Here is the newest Version with voice of NZ Worldclass Soprano Gina Sanders.
She is giving a Workshop in early summer in Stuttgart and would like to perform the song the first time live. So hopefully also Dieter Huober will read this and hear the song. I have a bit problems to get in touch over my computer cause i can not open my page .So for the first time with Lyrics. Hope to put it soon on the sawubona main page. If someone need the complete notes, please mail under sponsarts@gmx.net.

Hi Petra,
a long time i did not hear anything. Hope you are ok, and Winnenden is slowly coming back to normal life.
If you like to to something musically together i would be happy to meet. I asked Si Shen to try to make a video. Let's wait and see.

Warm greetings from a cold appartment

Moin, Conny,

you did not promise too much - Gina's voice is really world class! And it shows your composing was great too!

Do you have her voice as a single vocal track you could provide to let me work a little on the sound quality? Though a life recording sound has some characteristic taste, still I feel this song is demanding for some more cream and sugar ;-)

Hi Carsten,

i met Si Shen yesterday who is studying at the "Hochschule für Medien" in Stuttgart. She has the possibility for to make maybe a recording in a "Tonstudio" so now we will look for live musicians to do so together with gina when she is here. My / our plan is to make a video to this song with a better sound quality if it is possible. Now i need also Dieters support to realise it. I will ask her if she has her voice as a single recording.

See/hear you

Conny,

I was able to record my version of The colour of the rain today. Thank you for asking me to write a song. I listened to your song over and over until it played like a record in my head. I then picked up my guitar and played only this song for about two weeks. I am pleased with the results. I hope you are as well. Enjoy.

Hi Billy,

thank you. It is a really nice instrumental version but sounds also a bit melancholic. But i like it.
Is it a mexican guitar? Hope to hear news from you.
