CharlesGBS:if anyone here does download the recordingds (instrumental) take a hard listen to Hit the Ground and Run. You can clearly hear Alan's voice in the song, albeit its him 'lightly'' singing, but i think that ruins the point of you trying to sing the song on your ownThis is probably because they lost the original recording without

Aaron1:I've checked with the band's management, and yes, you can change the pitch if you wish. Aaron Woohoo! Contest just got better. Thanks for checking. :) 

Cathie:I'll forward your question directly to Admin. I appreciate it!  

I'd just -really- like to know if I'm allowed to raise the pitch on Nothing But a Song.

Although it's kind of weird that Nothing But A Song has a blank pause where the acapella bit is. I just don't think the song choices are friendly.

I'm just wondering if it's against the rules to say, move the pitch up a little on Nothing But A Song. I'd want to do that one, but it's too low for me to be comfortable singing it.

Seriously? Those songs are not very singer-friendly. Especially not for the female cast. :/ Songs like Yankee Sailor or even Dear Home Town would've been better picks. Hit the Ground and Run is not an easy song to sing, I can't stand Good People and Nothing But A Song has too many low notes. 

Kestrel: TheYoungSpaniard: MaryB:Russell Crowe is also a singer? I did not know that. Does anyone know what songs he has recorded?He released a CD called My Hand, My Heart with his band a few years ago. Alan produced it, sang harmonies, played some guitar and co-wrote many of the songs. Personally, I found the songs nice, but can't stand Crowe's

Nick:How is that Nautical?Sailors used to get these tattoos... lol... The swallow was tattooed to symbolize always coming home... the stars were tattooed as a guide for sailors to find their way home. It's also in an old school style.
