For funk, hip hop, alternative, soft rock and jazz, margot du bois, rapster and numerous collab partners, the main ones being Tom King and The Ratman...
Ive been an online singer since 1999/2000. I first encountered online collaboration via Steinbergs "Rocketnetwork" which came free with Cubase back in those days.. I was totally awestruck by the fact that I could make music with people worldwide who Id never met personally before. Since those days Ive written and sung countless, completed songs and always have many others in various stages of completion. As you can see by the list I have dozens of collab partners, some of whom have become very close and dear friends in real life. Infact the first persons song I ever sang on was by Steve Pearce, who is now sadly deceased. He became one of my dearest friends and through him I met and became very close friends with the late Clint Warwick, who was the original bass player with the Moody Blues and Danny King who was one of the founder members of that band. Some of the people that I made music with in the past on and off line:- ..My dear friend, the late Clint Warwick, also Danny King and... steve pearce... sheck... lennie... bigmoon... bop... timmymacdd... jack miller... mixmaster mark... tfolie... jako2k... zauberflute... music1961...

(Those people were all members of the now defunct "Rocketnetwork", "The Rocketears"...... More recent people are,:- Teecee... ZIGGma... Steve Dinsmoor... Dirt Settlers... D Form... Lil Drizzy... Syngularity... Uncle fester... Violent... Tom KIng... Ratman... Yerrickl... Loren Risker... CBS Productions... Pete Consodine... Dace... Blue Tom... JDK... Sisters... Mick Wilson... Shedman...

Aimlessjazz... vvsdesign/Volker...TNuT...Frank Northcutt...Uberthrall... last, but always first... My wonderful partner in love, life AND music, JOEY/Joe Nickerson/RAPSTER/Nicky Quick... Because the list is long its possible I may have forgotten to mention someone here, so if I have please give me a nod and Ill fix that.. Im so very thankful to everyone whos made their music freely available to me, to the many whove written and created pieces especially for me and to those whove helped me along the way, believe me there have been so many...Thankyou to all of them.. I NEVER try to sound like anyone else when I sing, always prefering what comes naturally to me. I rarely if ever sing other peoples lyrics as I can only feel what I personally feel, thats not to say I dont appreciate what other songwriters write, I love reading their lyrics and listening to their songs, those are their feelings..:-) My lyrics are generally minimal. I dont feel I need to write a book when I can say it in a sentence..:-) Im very happy to be uniquely and uncontrollably me..:-)

Story behind the song
I heard this music by Volker a couple of weeks ago, it was called "The Wise Fool"....I downloaded it and saved it to my desktop where it sat until yesterday when I decided to listen again...My lyrics came instantly and the song is now called "Ship of Fools" Volker`s very happy with what I`ve done with it and has kindly given me his permission to post it where ever I`d like...So, here it is... Thankyou so much Volker for your very inspiring piece of music..:-)
Lyrics
Ship of Fools I sat and watched the players play the game... And then I realised I was doing just the same... Foolish me... I had to set myself free... You`d think this far down the line I would`ve realised... Ohhh, ohhh foolish me... You`d think this far down the line... I would`ve realised... Ohhh, ohhhhh foolish me... We`re tossing and turning in a ship of fools... Cause nobody thought to lay down any rules... We`re tossing and turning... We`re tossing and turning... We`re tossing and turning in a ship of fools... Nobody thought to lay down any rules... We`re tossing and turning... We`re tossing and turning in a ship of fools... Nobody thought to lay down any rules... Drifting... we`re just drifting... ....................... Copyright margot du bois

You never thought 10 years ago these lyrics would fit your life's circumstances... A pretty song Mags, very nice vocals - though I'm sure the emotions at the time weren't expected in the future...

A very nice instrumental track for your lovely voice Margo. I think the lyrics and tembre of your voice fit perfectly; you'd think that this was written as a song, and not a stand alone tune with vocals added later. Quite serendipitous. A station add to go with your other great song/collab, 'Long, Endless Road'.

I think I'm becoming a fan. In this one visit I've now listened to three of your songs. I'm very impressed. I like your vocal style and your lyrics in this song. This is done very well.
