Round 2 Everyone!
Welcome back to the 'The Art of Music' contest! Music itself has many forms and genres all having their own unique flavors. Being a musician is an art, regardless what instrument you play or device you use to modify or create musical pieces with. The point of this contest is to encompass ALL of it. Following in the footsteps of my 'KillerPix Contest', each week, you will be given a theme.
The Theme
Last week, @enginewitty was all into some Jazz, and even won the 6th #badkaraoke Contest. Browsing through some of the entries for number seven of @simgirlandsnook's contest, he came across one submitted by @c0ff33a. It was New Kids on The Block! So, being #inspiredby that era, the theme this week will be the 80's! This ought to be good...
RULES
- Each week, this post begins the new contest and you have until you see the 'Contestants' post on the following Wednesday to get your entry in.
