I agree with you that there are probably more people using BIAB to create cover songs than there are writing original songs... I'm one of them. It does seem a little bit odd to find myself thinking that I don't fit in here anymore because of the focus on song writing, which doesn't interest me. Finding a way to engage the cover song oriented customers without simultaneously incurring legal liability would be huge, in my opinion.

I have a repertoire of 650 cover songs and every time I create a new one I spend a long time mixing styles trying to get it to sound right. Oh how I wish I could hear how other people have tackled the same songs and even share our BIAB song files.

BTW, since I cannot memorize music, I have copied the sheet music for every one of those 650 and keep them binders with plastic sleeves so I can play my keyboard live by flipping the pages. Every measure on every page is numbered to correspond with the measures in BIAB so that I can keep track of repeats etc. It's a labor of love!
