Well they took them three young Hatfields Tied 'em to a Pawpaw tree And when the smoke had settled The McCoys had set 'em free.

Great lyric!!! and tracks, and mix, and vocal". The only thing I can add to that is that the arrangement is also exceptional. To my ears, this song has "success" written all over it. You'd better add me to the same minority as Floyd! All the best, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2026 audios on Soundcloud

I particularly like the chorus. We just watched the Kevin Costner one - I think that was a miniseries. I got my middle name from Randall McCoy - a distant ancestor.

ROG Veteran Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 3,365 York, England	Hi Darren and welcome to the forums. This is the section for songs done with PG products like Band in a Box (BiaB). Start a new thread for each song and try to provide some information as to how it was recorded. Any queries about how to use the program should go in either the BiaB forum or the RealBand (RB) forum. General queries or comments go in the Off-topic section. The profile pictures can be a problem - use an editing program to keep reducing the size until it gets accepted. Looking forward to hearing your first song. ROG. Free online guitar lessons. Cours de guitare gratuit en ligne.
