Hi Will,
I have some time now so I will post the Mp3 together with some new
pictures to my website this evening.
Some people in my house tonight listened to your song and they
thought
it was pretty amazing.
I think it is important we shouldn't rush things too much. I will
write another Zorro poem which I will write especially for music,
so it will flow more nicely with the wonderful arrangements.
So our project could take a bit longer to finish but it's the quality
of
the result that matters, right?
I think it would be great if you could record two other versions of
the
existing Zorro poem: one in a kind of 'Kenny Rogers' voice over (the
english' and one in which you will sing the dutch version - I know
that's really hard but I think the result will be worth it.
I am also thinking: maybe some female backing vocals with the Kenny
Rogers part? A bit more gospelish.....
As to the video, I think, if you don't mind of course, I will write a
short screenplay for it. It will be a like a minimovie.
Let me know what you think. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
M.H.Benders

I agree that the result would be have been worth it

Listen to Phantom 309 by Red Sovine, feller stops at a "Truck Stop",
good ol' song, also, Tom Waits does a good version of it.
Oh yeah, I remember Red Sovine well... and living off a main highway
in the rural deep south
(pictured here):http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kelly_H_Dockery.jpg
as a child, I'd lie awake with my cousins late in the night, listening
to the big trucks crossing back and forth to and from Alabama, telling
ghost tales of Phantom Dutchman truckdrivers and their spectral
muses...
