I've recorded four and you can pick and choose the best bits from each since there is so much space between the bits. What was your email again?

I opened a (free) ESMB Choir account on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/esmb-choir.
I uploaded a base track for our "Wall of Fire" ensemble piece at https://soundcloud.com/esmb-choir/wof-words-key-timing. As I get other tracks that I can add in, I will mix them in.

Oh, I thought we agreed to use the other Johnny Cash video - that's the one I made my recording to. The one you and Mr Nobody were talking about.
No, sorry. It would be more sensible to use that one, but my voice has deteriorated even more from when I recorded that (2007?) and I would have to bow out.
If it is unworkable to sing along to my track then I will bow out of the recording, but will still do the mixing.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
And here's the purple how-to list:
1. Print the lyrics and put them out in front of you.
2. Open this thread to the correct youtube version of the song.
3. Plug in your headphones so the music does not get into your recording.
4. Open the sound recorder on your smartphone.
5. Start playing the youtube and recording on your smartphone as close to the same time as possible.
6. Sing along with the youtube, using the printed lyrics.
7. Record as often as you want to feel happy with it.
8. Upload the recording to your computer or just email from your smartphone to Paul's email address.
9. Become part of the ESMB choir!
10. Easy peasy!
11. Go on - do it! It's fun.
12.
13. Wait until still-in, True Believer, love of your life is out of the house and certain not to return for at least several hours before proceeding with inflammatory lyrics in order to avoid messy divorce over the holiday season.
14. Shred printed lyrics for same reason as above. (Or, better yet given the song, burn them )

So here is a mix of the original Johnny Cash version, Paul and Purple.
Who's next to record a track that I can mix in?
Paul
This is excellent fun! I like it! We might be the world's first ever cyberchoir!
I hope Mr Nobody comes through with a decent instrumental. That bass line!

Ps:
The 2-voice take Paul just published sounds great. Both voices are OK in pitch, but not yet really together on the beat. You think a metronome track can help with that?
Don't know about "decent", but when I finally have the room to do so, I'll deliver 2 or 3 guitar tracks, 1 bass guitar track, 1 trumpet track, 1 very minimalistic drum track.
Drums and trumpets will probably be played on a Yamaha PSR-423 keyboard, the rest are real instruments. Takamine Western guitar, Washburn bass -guitar, Stagg e-guitar. Haven't decided the other e-guitar yet, but that last track won't be really necessary anyway.
I can give my tracks 4 or 8 count-in beats in the beginning, which makes track synchronization easier and I can add a metronome track if you want.
Multiply the number of tracks by 2, if you want full stereo (I'd recommend that, Paul in enhanced Stereo and some FX sounds awesome). I won't fiddle around with too many effects, but I think a very moderate dose of reverb, delay, phaser/flanger might be in order.
Well, that's what I can offer, now you guys decide.

Yes, thank you. That is useful criticism. A metronome track ASAP would be very helpful. I can sync bare voices together by the shape of the waveforms, but the JC track is so full of noise that the beat is invisible to the eye and my ear isn't that good.
