My father in law is in a motorcycle gang. Not really, but he is organizing a motorcycle rally next summer in GA (2016). He, and a couple of his gang member buddies, are responsible for the promo video for the event. He has been searching for the perfect song to use in a 3-4 minute montage to help promote the rally but has not found "the right one". This is our challenge for the week. We (you) will write them a song to use in the video. I called him yesterday and asked him to send an email with his thoughts/ideas. It is below. What may not be conveyed in his email is the importance of the title. I think you will have the best chance of rising to the top if your chorus involves "Come And Play In Our Backyard" and if that is also the title of your song... that would be helpful too. Upbeat and catchy. See the email below.
(As an aside (he does not know this)... I want to make a CD of all the entries for them to sell at the 2015 rally (more fundraising here) and on the sleeve will be your song, a link to your web site, a way to contact you, etc. It will be a promotional tool for their 2016 rally, a fundraising CD for MM3AM, as well as a promotional tool for all of you and your music. The CD idea deadline could be a couple months so you can really knock it out for that. And, we will probably have space on the CD for an additional song of yours too... to showcase your talents. It will be a cool sampler. However, we are still on a one week time crunch to write our songs. Happy to hear some feedback. And... more brain-storming (probably possible)... we will all play at the 2016 rally!)
