Oh, golly.<\/p>\n

We have gone a little crazy in recent volumes of the Green Monkey Music Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can’t Wait For Halloween<\/a> had a whopping ten participants and fifty songs, while Geography Pop Quiz<\/a> had nine participants with over sixty songs.<\/p>\n

For this, Volume 9, we’re going to have a mix with only six participants, and less than thirty songs.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works. This mix will be called ABC<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Each participant will have letters of the alphabet assigned to them. The only requirement on the participants is that they must provide a song for each letter they are responsible for. The first word in the song must<\/span> begin with that letter. For example, if you are responsible for the letter “W”, the song “Waiting On A Friend” would be valid, but “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” would *not* be valid.<\/p>\n

Okay, so how does a participant sign up for a group of letters? Well, you pick one of the shapes to the left. I have already randomly assigned letters to the shapes. If a shape has already been picked by someone else, you can’t pick it.<\/p>\n

I won’t tell you which letters belong to which shapes, but I will tell you how the letters are broken down:<\/p>\n

A-E
F-O
P-T
U-Y
Z<\/p>\n

Yes, there will be one participant that has one only letter they will be responsible for — Z!<\/p>\n

This mix has five open slots. Each participant has to pick a shape when they sign up for the mix. I’ll be taking the sixth slot. I will take whatever shape is left after the five participants have chosen theirs.<\/p>\n

I’ll publish the key tying shapes to letters after we get a full number of participants on the mix (if you want to know what letters you got before the mix fills up, I can email the shape\/letter key to you).<\/p>\n

This mix has everything! The thrill of chance! The magic of the alphabet! And it’s not that long!<\/p>\n

So, sign up, already!<\/p>\n

UPDATE!<\/span><\/p>\n

We have our participants!<\/p>\n

Beth!<\/a> (Pink parallelogram)
J.D.!<\/a> (Blue Circle)
Barbara!<\/a> (Green Triangle)
Tim!<\/a> (Orange Star)
Dr Monkey Von Monkerstein!<\/a> (Red Square)
Splotchy!<\/a> (Yellow Oval)<\/p>\n

Participants, here are your letters! Since \u00fcbermixologist Beth got short-changed on the number of selections, I said she could still do five songs, provided they all start with the letter “Z” (don’t worry, she will have *no* problem coming up with the songs).<\/p>\n

Just post your song selections as a comment on this post.<\/p>\n
