Wanted to try the 10 x 10 challenge and then the skirmiash topic today was "Take Away"
Perhaps I got carried away. I wrote this all in an hour of the keyboard arranger but getting it into Audacity and then cleaning up the clips to be 10 seconds each took me another 2 hours.
Take Away-
1.) Land Ho (the only clip without the words "take away")
And the bard's maid played as the ship pulled into port
2.) The Takeaway bribery
Feel this yearning- The takeaway bribery
3.) Take Away your sadness
What more can I say to try and take away
Your sadness my friend
4.) Frenchette- Le Traiteur ( The takeaway)
Pret a Emporter Le Traiteur
5. Suburban Takeaway
(A suburban wife with no) life of her own
another meal take away dinner all alone
6.) Take Away Foundation
Take away another stone from the foundation
And it all comes crumblin' (down)
7.) Take away ( Country Blues)
Nothings gonna take away these country blues
8.) Take away Doubt
You left me full of doubt
please take away this aching in my soul
9.) Opera Take Away
Her opera glasses left behind
They tried to take away her sight and leave her blind
10.) Headlines Big take away
It's the news of the day
The headlines big take away

Wow-my head was spinning! So many different styles. I cannot believe you did this in an hour. What a take on the prompt. Bravo!

3, 6, 9, and 10 are my favorites. They could all be developed. I want to hear the entire opera of 9. What's the rest of the story? Edward Gorey meets Gilbert and Sullivan?

I'm working through all the 10x10s, and this is is as good as any. It was worth the production time, believe me. And there are 10 song gemrs ready to grow. All different, all good. Take it away!
@valeriecox Feb 2022
All the takeaways! So good. Cool how you tired those all together. Loads of fun. I life how you were able to do so many styles. Fantastic!
@vegansongs Feb 2022
Wrong place for my comment and can't figure out how to delete- so here is a A "thank you to you all!". This was a fun challenge!
@anthonykapfer666 Feb 2022
this is great! each one is really fun. i like the way you had them all transition. it feels like those old commercials for compilation albums on tv
@prsongsmith Feb 2022
Dude - this might be the perfect 10x10: I wanted to hear a whole song based on every one of these!! So many styles so convincingly delivered. A++
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
That is astounding commitment to the spirit of FAWM - a skirmish 10 x 10! And they are all so good, so well realised. Outstanding work!
Numbers 5, 6 and 8 are my favourites. I would gladly hear much longer versions of all of them.

A tourdefotce of aslusdions to hits that never were. Very clever. Some laughs. Lots of appreciation. Listened over breakfast. You put me in a good mood for my commute

Skirmish 10x10....not something you see often. Nice one!
@darcistrutt Feb 2022
This was awesome. I got the Abba vibe from 9. So many different styles and even multiple languages.
@keithcuts Feb 2022
so fun :)
the second clip is my favorite
way to combine challenges!
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
That’s enormously ambitious, to write 10 songs in 10 styles from the prompt in an hour and then paste them together. And you did it well. It’s fun to listen to.
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
The country blues is my favorite. I also like Take Away foundation as a death metal song and Headlines as a pop hit. This is the first 10x10 I've heard. Interesting concept. Good skirmish.
@lmr Feb 2022
Hey Vegan songs,
Thanks so much for checking out my 10x10 and for your kind words, I really enjoyed yours as well! What an incredibly talented potpouri of musical ideas!
@berni1954 Feb 2022
Great way to kill ten birds with one skirmish spun stone :)
Each one of these deserves to be developed. And what a range of genres! Impressed.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Wow! These are such incredible many productions!!! Love them all! Such a cool variety of amazing music and snippets of ideas! I need to listen again! Impressive!!!!
@misterdemp Feb 2022
Love a 10X10 with a skirmish. totally daring! Each little snippet is a gem, and takes me though so many styles and genres. Tons of work here, and a fun listen!
