Lawyers are the #1 impediment to all progress.
Son of a Preacher Man - that was a great song. Dusty Sprinfield did it originally?

Well her's is the version most of us are familiar with. But Dusty said in an interview I caught that she prefered Aretha's phrasing to her own version.

4 and 9 are the rules that the original poster (our esteemed webmaster) chose to present in bold. With his HTML skills, I'm sure that was no accident.

I don't care whose version it is. Just get him away from me - the preacher, I mean. Can't stand it. Bloody rude, in fact, IMO. I mean, its just not cricket! Coming around here and forceing religion down one's throat? This is a MUSIC forum and I love it for that. Carry on, chaps!  (NOI. Just injecting a litle British Upper Class humour...) Seriously, I have no real problem with preachers. So long as they have no problem with me antagonising them...  As Mike put up on another thread Monty Python - Tigers

You know, we've seen it all - the rise and fall of probably the greatest Empire that ever existed. I could go on but there are many ex-colonial nationals who might object. Who am I to preach? Now, we are exiles. Its all to do with the stiff upper lip, you know Carry on...

My advice is that it is often far better on everyone concerned to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.
Kinda like going supersonic used to be...

Or just be British... Quote:
Excuse me for interrupting you, kind Sirs (well, as it is a forum it can hardly be singular, eh?), but would it be possible to ask you for your kind permission to ask you to give my humble offering a listening to? I really don't mean to interfere and neither do I want to disturb you.
[pause for effect]
That is to say, I certainly would not want to refrain you from drinking your tea...
[pause for effect]
Of course, should you deighn to offer a mere minstrel such as I a constructive comment or criticism, it shall be duly noted and acted upon, forthwith
[pause for effect]
Oh! Please pardon me as I forgot to add, should you decide that I should be paying royaties to offer up my subjugation, I shall of course attend to that at the very first possible opportunity.
[After yet another brief but respectful pause]
May I now perform this humble little ditty for you, kind Sirs?
Oops!  Terribly sorry, Ladies. Of course, I include you in this humble request...
May I proceed?
B*llocks! Play it!

I was always impressed by books about the Air Battle of Britain. Those pilots were some kind of tough! I think Churchill was right about that being the finest hour.

Hmmm. Battle of Britain. My uncle was here this summer. Went to England at the start of the war with the RCAF as a tailgunner. Did his missions and then joined the RAF as a flying officer for the duration. 88 now, but still reads a book a day. Quit golf last year, after he retired he played every day, sometimes twice until recently. Quite a guy. Was very fond of his 'batman'. My grandfather (his father) spent 3 years in the trenches in France, wounded 3 times and came down with the mumps. Spent an extra year waiting to get home, too many Canadians and not enough boats to take them back. He used to let us feel the pieces of shrapnel they left in his skull and neck.
But we were part of the British Empire, and have tea at 4. If you can't visit England go to Victoria for tea and meet Pgmusic. Veddy British.

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). 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.
