This is a place to play around with some ideas and maybe come up with some actual music. Or just play around, period.
In case you’re wondering, Buddha-ball is a game we used to play when I was in college. Someone found a basketball-sized tennis ball, and brought it back to our cottage. When we got bored, we’d bounce it around the living room/ kitchen. Somebody “won” if they knocked over or broke anything; surprisingly, we rarely had a winner. We did have a lot of fun though. It helps if you’re not particularly attached to any of the stuff in the room (hence the name), and if there’s not a lot besides furniture to begin with.
We still play every once in a while, but we use a normal-sized tennis ball these days.

How do I put a file to the site?
August 13, 2016 at 9:08 pm
It’s been a while – I don’t remember for certain. Probably I would have to add you to the site as a contributor. Pretty late here, but I can figure it out tomorrow 🙂
August 13, 2016 at 9:16 pm
Awesome!
Goodnight Zzzz….

Is there an email address that can receive a wav file?
September 3, 2016 at 9:50 am
Hi Doug,
Sorry this has taken so long, I get very distracted with two munchkins running around these days 🙂 Let me see what I can do here…

OK – there should be a message in your email from WordPress inviting you to be an administrator.
September 3, 2016 at 11:53 am
Got it, Thanks

I still can’t figure out how to put the song on the site.
I emailed it though. I hope it worked.

Hi Julie
Did you get the email I sent you?
September 7, 2016 at 5:31 am
No, I’ve been checking both inbox and junk folder, but nothing from you has come through. I see from the WordPress admin site that you were trying to start a new post, which is probably the best way to do it if you can get it to work. In theory, it should be simple, but I know sometimes these things don’t work the way they are supposed to.
I have a little time this morning. Can you tell me what the issue was? Maybe we can get it to work.
September 7, 2016 at 11:46 am
Sorry I’m late getting back to you. I worked until 4:00 this morning.
I set the file to
donotreply@wordpress.com
Is there a better address to send it to.
It’s a song that I think would sound great if you were to sing it, IMO.
September 7, 2016 at 12:04 pm
I have to head in to work till midnight.
“See” you later 🙂
September 8, 2016 at 9:00 am
You can try sending the song to me at:
snjcork ~at~ mac ~dot~ com
(Written that way to keep spambots from having fun with the address)
Depending on the file size, though, it may not go through. I forget what the limit is. If it goes through, I will post it here; if not, we can figure something else out 🙂
I should tell you in advance, I won’t be able to add any vocals this time from my end. We have added two kids, moved a couple of times, plus gone through a couple of computers since the first time round, and I don’t have the setup anymore to make anything like a sound studio. Nor the privacy to get through it without being interrupted. Just drawing with them at home is hard; singing would be a whole other level of insanity.
Unfortunate, because it would be a fun project. I’m looking forward to hearing what you have, though!

It’s basically a completed song of a project I was in on years ago.
Written by my good friend.
A fun song that would be better with the right vocalist.
September 8, 2016 at 9:31 am
Congratulations on your new and busy life!
I can understand all too well the chaos of it 🙂
September 8, 2016 at 10:26 am
Wow, that is great – I love it! I’ll try to upload to the playroom from here.
September 8, 2016 at 10:39 am
D’oh! Now I see why it didn’t work. I’d need to upgrade the site to a paid subscription. In the past you could upload audio and video files for free.
One way around that would be to make a video by adding an image (or slideshow, or actual video) and uploading to Youtube. Then you can embed the video here. What do you think?
September 8, 2016 at 12:30 pm
Great idea
I’ll work on a youtube channel with my wife
She is more tech savvy than I
September 11, 2016 at 9:15 pm
lets see if this works
September 12, 2016 at 4:29 am
Yes – great!
I’ll post it on the main page 🙂
