I would also like to buy a copy of Gospel Pianist. I had a copy about 10 years ago and lost in while moving across country from California to Georgia. I just loved that collection of fantastic Christian music! I would pay $200 for a copy. Paul McGraw paultmcgraw@bellsouth.net

Its a program somewhat like guitar star or blues pianist. It's a program to help you learn how to play the gospel style of piano and includes many popular gospel songs in what I'm guessing would be midi form. Pg has stopped producing it. Must be some licensing thing. I've never seen them respond to request for discontinued products.
There are a few people who would like to own it I think.

I was surprised that when I put the disks in my cd drive they were completely blank!! in other words my drive was seeing them as blank disks! I had purchased them several years ago and I contacted PG to find out if there was an issue with Windows XP...I'm still waiting for their response...I tried them in the dvd drive ...nothing..blank!!..its very frustrating...does anyone know why this is??...I would be most grateful for any information..thanks

Well, the CD rom media itself may have crapped out over time. Storage conditions, temperature, light, or just a bad batch from the factory or a burn that didn't make the pits deep enough can account for that.
This is why we should make backups of things like that...

That may be the case but its odd that I have older cd's with programs on them that I have stored in the bottom of drawers without sleeves or just laying around for years, that work just fine...

Yes, not all CD roms are created (or burned) equally.
This can be a problem when a disk is burned with a consumer level burner, which has a lesser laser in it. Not saying that is what happened here, for I don't know. There are different specs for this sort of thing.
Also, there can be problems with certain Media, even just a bad lot of disks, which was much more the case a decade or so ago than it is today.
Luck of the draw, I guess, if it helps, I feel your pain, I've had that happen here, too.
My lesson learned is that I never trust any one system of data storage at all and I try to keep up on those critical backups. For example, these days I use USB hard drives to make backup copies of everything, plus I use the online "Carburundum" backup service, too.

sometimes giving those CD-ROM's a warm soapy bath helps to remove any finger oils. BUT be very gentle by just using your fingers then rinse with clear water under a running tap, then gently dab dry with a cotton towel to absorb the moisture and leave the CD to air dry in a vertical position for a couple of hours. That may the answer because it has worked for me.
Good luck.

Dear krant1504: I am surprised to find out that THE GOSPEL PIANIST exists on cd! I have it on diskette.(remember those?) would you please make a copy of your disks so that I can see if they appear blank on my computer? I can try to find a way to make a copy of my diskettes for you if you like. I am afraid that Microsoft's forced Operating System upgrades will eventually render my treasured software useless. Please reply to photopretty@yahoo.com. Thanks, clwalker

If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
