Get ready for the Summer community AVOYP!

Is this legal ? Bonfires were banned in France back in 2011 :rofl: Yeah took me several years to discover that and had some good burn outs in that journey !

So be selective with your fire pits and ensured local restrictions are adhered to.

TBH burn your house down if it floats your boat ! Just play some greeet toons. Simples.

I’m sure someone will! I can’t wait for it! Though I’m still on the high seas with my song…Jasmine @AvalonJ how is it going with you? I so hope you’ll take part to this!

Deborah, I’m sorry to read the heat is affecting your health like this, take good care of yourself.

So sorry to hear that. I have the opposite problem. It’s starting to get cold in Australia, I live in an old rundown house with no heating, It’s the same temperature inside as it is outside. I haven’t played at all for nearly a week, my fingers are too cold to move. I had been doing some practice on Summer of 69 but I won’t be ready to post it anytime soon. :frowning:

Thank you so much for your encouragement Silvia! :blush: I’m working on my song (and my courage :laughing:) but getting there. I do want to participate but probably won’t be the first to post :grimacing::joy:

@GrumpyMac Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well and not able to play. Hope it gets cooler soon and you feel better :mending_heart::sunflower: look after yourself

Hope you’re able to play again soon too @chris_m .
I have a bar heater to warm my hands but so far it hasn’t been as cold as usual for this time of year where I am

Don’t worry, the posts will start rolling in right after the start.
My video has been finished for a while now. It’s not quite what I had in mind, but my family doesn’t like the song, so I had to finish production early :smiley:

thanks a lot

I will try again today but will give up sooner than yesterday if I feel unwell
yesterday I tried for 1h30 and I ve never been able to play a song

The heat is a trigger for migraine crises and my mind is just blank … so when I play I just forget the notes … the more I try the more frustrated I become and the worse the migraine gets …

still no sign of cooller days in sight

so I rely on you guys to start the topic :slight_smile:
Witkatz and Boris are both ready !

Good luck to our Australians friend who suffers from the cold
( I envy you :open_mouth: )

Hope everyone suffering from heat/cold is ok. My summer song is written. I recorded a version with electric guitars, bass, drum loops etc, but I’ll do a video of an acoustic version for the challenge.
