Who said an instrumental could not win? Oh, I guess that was me... which is why I added the "verbal count in" at the beginning.
Thank you so very much. I am pleased to be a winner. Congratulations to winners and all who participated.

Hi Loren In my case the inspiration for the lyrics came from my profound love for animals and nature. And the idea that we all are basically the same - us, animals, plants, everything. We are one giant choir, and with slightly different voices we sing the same, beautiful song. It also came from my passion for science. In physics, string theory basically argues something quite similar: the fundamental components of reality are tiny strings, and everything - energy, matter etc - is the result of their viibrations. The universe is music, in a sense. We are music. How beautiful is that? String theory is not proven yet, but I thought it would make a nice starting point for a song anyway Jon

Dear Jon Thomas...
Thank you SO much for responding to my request of all the winners!
I am in totally agreement with you about the "string" that ties everything together in this inexpressibly beautiful world -- that is, as Our Creator originally designed it.
Your song clearly and jubilantly expressed your feelings about the glorious, harmonious inter-relatedness of everything.
Here are the powerful words of Ludwig Van Beethoven on the nature of music:
"The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are."
Gratefully,
LOREN

Congratulations to the winners and thank you all for your kind words.
Ive been using Band in a Box since the early 90's.
When I first purchased BB it arrived in floppy disk form.
Ive been using BB for so long that it has become second nature to me.
Sometimes I am guilty of taking BB for granted because it has become such a part of my life.
When I hear a great style, I hear an unwritten song. Just gotta keep chopping bits off till I find it.
The inspiration for my song was the drum beat in SECLUDE.STY and to me that was the star of the whole effort.
Thank you guys for the great support and thank you PG music.
Rob

Congratulations to all of the winners! And, as has been noted, congratulations to ALL of the enormously talented songwriters who turned in submissions. I only saw winners on this one, seems like everybody won. There was a staggering outpouring of high level songwriting and artistry. And one guy in one category sounded EXACTLY like Jeff Beck. Must have been some tough choices. Congrats to everyone again and thanks to Band-in-a-Box for such cool tools to work with.
