I think we should send a demo to the Mini Cooper company - they might like to make a video of it for a commercial.

Great idea, Tig!

Re: Songwriting experiment for Chordians

I just submitted the link to Mini Cooper USA 

If any of you know other cooper sites, you should send it to them.

This was soooooo cool !  Thanks to all of you who made it happen.

Gidday Chordie writers.
I`ve been following progress on your song.
I`ve taken up Roger on the idea of doing a cover. done it in two takes so it`s far from perfect and i`ve done it
with my limitations.
How about some more versions now i laid myself bare!

Great stuff Brian, a completely different song, that is how is should be; your ideas and your music. I am so pleased you have taken time to do it so now let's see what someone else can do.

Re: Songwriting experiment for Chordians

As I had posted previously, I had sent Roger's version of the song into Min-Cooper.   This was their response:
Thanks for writing MINI.

Thanks a bunch to all the Chordians that worked on it   JIM
