Thanx to all for listening and the very nice comments and the super suggestions.

David you are absolutely right! Those BiaB block chords should have had some transition notes. That as well as the voicing is a problem with BiaB IMHO. I should have known better!

Alyn the reason they sound like pads is because half of the string parts are played using Solid State Strings, a third part Kontakt program that uses sounds from the old hardware synths. Maybe that was a mistake?

The next time JonD comes over we will discuss these issues. It is his tribute so what he says goes as far as I'm concerned, but he is very open minded. In fact he challenges me in chords, he knows a lot of theory, and I challenge him with progressions. We do have fun together and I hope that comes through in our music.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
