Jeez, Tim, there are enough pictures posted on the Forum for filler. I'm sure there will be enough riding this Spring to get you piccies of Nat'l or State Park signs, City Limit signs, etc.

I didn't know you were looking for permission. So, go ahead, let's do it. I'll get you as many piccies as I can.

How about JB to do the video...?

 
Since I just now saw this, folks like me are saying, how the heck do you do that? Sounds great though and would be willing to help. Now if I can just get this screen to hold still long enough to type because my mouse is messing up real bad....PM. <>< <_<

It's not about looking for permission. It's about the idea, it's about the goal, it's about maybe doing something as a collective that we all can enjoy and share with others. (Did I just get all mushy? Oh, **** me... Groo must be right. Where's my Midol?) Anyway, one person alone can't pull this off, and if sufficient numbers don't jump in, it won't work. I've skimmed through some of the image posts and yes, there are some usable ones in there, but very few that add credibility to the concept tune.

By the way, I'm initiating the Jimmy Awards for NAFO. Groo and Scab just received the first nominations for Best Ranks on El Jefe During a Soft Moment. I'll be presenting the 'The Golden Boot' awards before dinner. Stand firm boys. Skooter will have a bucket ready for you just in case. :grin:

SWEET! I'll make sure to wear my LD rider approved Iron-Crotch underwear... "now with Inconel!" to the party... :thumbsup:

You don't, by chance, earn a living as a "motivational speaker," do you?

I didn't think so.

 
On a serious note, I'll be glad to help. I don't know what I can do, but I'll do what I can. I'll even go take some pics if needed.

Yeah, I got'cher motivation right here, Skippy. :****:

Well, we need a game plan first and that's part of what this thread's about, too.

Oh, I see, prostate doctor.

Now really...Shall we start with the song. Would you like to keep that one or is this open for discussion. I don't have anything against the song, but am only wondering out-loud. Are there other songs that would lend themselves to the concept and perhaps to the FJR crew just as well? This may be of importance due to the types of pictures that will be at our disposal.

Just askin'.

 
I think if we start with pictures of town and city signs and build the lyrics around those, that would prolly be the easiest unless someone thinks otherwise. Those cool shots of Nat'l parks, coastlines, mountains and stuff can be the filler. If we use the plot line to the original song, it should make life easier...

As for the song itself, I can't think of a better concept than 'Everywhere'. Got another tuneage idea?

 
No tune that would lend itself to the theme as you describe it. So, let me get this straight - Your thoughts are to actually write new lyrics for the "everywhere" tune? If so, cool.

(this may have been evident in the download, but I only watched the youtube thingy)

 
Another option, would be to write the lyrics, using maps or whathaveyou, post em up and get volunteers to fill in the picies.

Oh, for what it's worth, here's the lyrics to the Johnny version: (this is not a copyrighted version, but an "interpreted" version.

JOHNNY CASH LYRICS

"I've Been Everywhere"

I was toting my pack along the long dusty Winnemucca road

When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load

If your goin' to Winnemucca, Mack with me you can ride

And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside

He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand

And I said, "Listen! I've traveled every road in this here land!"

I've been everywhere, man

I've been everywhere, man

Crossed the deserts bare, man

I've breathed the mountain air, man

Of travel I've had my share, man

Yep, new lyrics, but somehow, keep the theme FJRF.com... Watch the TWT version. Killer.
