This song is a good example why I LOVE BIAB. This was going to be my first instrumental and twice as long! I input the chords and then Freddie turned up for the gig, man. My brain immediately started writing lyrics, the 1st verse was there in seconds and it deteriorated from then on  Its about a chip shop years back that served the BEST chips in town even tho the owner had one disgusting habit to check the oil was at the right temp for frying when he opened. Couldn't write a verse for that   Fish 'n chips when I'm hungry after work my tummy rumbles I need to walk so I put on my coat and head down to town I'm gonnna have me some fish and chips drown them in vinegar smother them in salt grease dripping from off your fingers 1st bite man they're hot sliding cross the counter as you struggle to stay on your feet they're wrapped in yesterdays paper with the newsprint now on the chips drown them in vinegar smother them in salt grease dripping from off your fingers 1st bite man they're hot dropped on the floor just added taste you scoffed it all dont leave no waste you kik the paper into someone's garden whoops beg your pardon! drown them in vinegar smother them in salt grease dripping from off your fingers 1st bite man they're hot RealTracks in song: ~~538:Bass, Acoustic, Pop Sw 190 RealTracks in song: ~1098:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzSwingFreddie Sw 190 RealTracks in song: ~940:Piano, Acoustic, Rehearsal Showtunes Sw 140 RealTracks in song: 2337:Violin, Background, PopHigh Ev 085 (1TrackStringSection) RealTracks in song: 2337:Violin, Background, PopHigh Ev 085 (1TrackStringSection) RealTracks in song: 2336:Viola, Background, Pop Ev 085 (1TrackStringSection) RealDrums in Song: EthnicSwing^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat, b:Sidestick, Ride ******************* enjoy Alyn

Alyn,
You are such an original!
this is a delight.
"oh...beg your pardon.." Loved that!
The song was only as long a 1/3 of a song. So I had to listen 3 times. I think I'll go listen 3 more...

Hey Alyn.
Just got back from the Fish & Chip restaurant - how weird is that?
Brilliant little ditty. Maybe you should point out to our friends in the US that chips = French Fries over here. Maybe they know that anyway?
Can only guess what the missing verse was. Maybe you could PM me?
ROG.

Got a kick out of it!! As a lover of fish and chips, I had to take an immediate listen. It reminds me of a story. A countryman of yours and his wife opened a fish and chips shop in Sausalito in the 60's (this was when my family used to go sailing there and inspired my love of the town). Mr. and Mrs. Salt (not sure if that's the actual name) started H. Salt Fish and Chips working behind the counter. They must have been at least in their 50's at the time. The shop was a smashing success (have to use British Parlance) and they quickly expanded. They were bought out (possibly by KFC) and retired very rich. I remember the paper they used at the bottom was imitation newspaper with print and headlines to replicate the original style. Cool song, and very naturally and spontaneously delivered. A real treat (like the food itself)!! Take care. Greg

Love this Alyn!
I get a bit of a George Formby vibe here.
Mostly an Alyn vibe though!
Cheers.

Nothing can beat eating chips with newspaper print all over them, followed by a cup of coffee made with water, flowing through lead pipes, and boiled in an aluminium kettle. How on earth did we survive LOL? Thanks for listening Take care Alyn

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
