There's a Land That Is Fairer Than Day - 02/01/16 09:14 PM
Here is my first post. The song is an old favorite hymn. Sweet By and By or There's a Land that is Fairer than Day. It is in the Public Domain. For many years I have sang in church and mostly old hymns at that. I sing alost always accapella because when I was young I had a terrible time hearing or "knowing" where I was supposed to be in the song. Now many years hence I have band in a box and am trying to learn how to sing with canned music. This I think is one of my best tries so far.

I used BIAD to find the chords from a free midi file I found and then went to Real Band and found a style I liked.
