YAY Well you know what to do "your way" anyway, in midi and the realstuff. This is a tribute to the versatility of the programme and also a homage to all the talented posters in this forum. Thank you PG Music for an astounding program. I apologise for one naughty word in verse one but it described the learning process perfectly to me and I'm still learning after almost 20 years. It was written in one of those "late night early morning sessions" Crazy things I do I said hey do you know that its half past three and shouldn't we be gettin' off to sleep its gettin' up light I know I like being here just talkin' to you its just one of those many cr--azy things i do why do we always get outa our heads we're chasing those demons not chicks into bed I know I can't sit here with my head in my hand I'll put it up my [*****] and you'll all understand it seems in the making its set in the die cos who said rock and roll was going to die you always tell something you know if its real i know that its right We all now that it's right Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight its taken control of your body and soul its never gonna relinquish that grip on your heart it started that day when you heard that first song cos its then that you started to breathe its then that you started to live that life i know i like being here just playing with you do one of those many cr--azy things you do why do we always jump up and down we're not in a rehearsal cos this times for real we know wot we like in a weird sorta way but we don't give a damn and who cares any way Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight its taken control of your body and soul its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart it started that day it started today Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight its taken control of your body and soul its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart it started that day it started today hey do you know that its half past three and shouldnt we be gettin off to sleep its gettin up light we know we like being here just being we two my turn to do one of those cr--azy things I do Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight its taken control of your body and soul its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart it started today RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~1119:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 898:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming FolkRockWaltz Ev 150 RealTracks in song: 671:Organ, B3, Background Southern Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1008:Bass, Electric, ElecRock Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 581:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Roadhouse Ev 120 ('A' only) RealTracks in song: 849:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryRockRiff Ev 120 (B:steady) RealTracks in song: ~~496:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Honky 1 Ev 120 RealDrums in Song: BossaBrushesPerc^1-a:Congas, No Kit , b:Congas, Shaker, Triangle, No Kit RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride I deleted me on 12 string as it wasn't good enough!! but kept me on Heritage Les Paul at the end.

Thanks for giving a tribute to what we all know is the best software of its kind. I enjoyed your song and I hope that you will get some rest!! Sonny

Another song idea late at night, and you simply have to finish it, especially with all the possibilities in BIAB.
