I'm re-posting my songs so I can update the links to my Soudcloud page... since all my songs have been deleted from the site I originally used. I will do this gradually so as not to overwhelm or be disrespectful of other posters.  Here's a progression I've had in my head for several months now, but I didn't have any lyrics. So a couple of weeks ago I come up with an idea for an "On Fire Love"... Which includes most of the clichés you could imagine.  This is not the feel I had in my head for this song, but after messing around with quite a few different styles... I decided this was a pretty cool way to do it.  I mention that because someone posted recently that they couldn't get BIAB to do what they were hearing in their head and it was bothering them. I'm sure we've all had that problem... I don't think of that as a problem anymore. I just let BIAB be a tool to help me expand on what I hear in my head.  Anyway just my .02 on that. I've listed the RT's below, other than that it's me on the vocals and my Telecaster "Trigger" on leads & fills. All comments welcome.

Greg,
I enjoyed this - a good toe-tapping song and nice strong vocal.
Keep the replays coming - there are lots of listeners here who weren`t on the forum when you first posted.

Greg,
This has such a nice tempo and energy to it!
Perfectly timed vocals (and backing vocals) too.
Cool work on the telecaster!

Love the intro on this! The way the guitar fades out and is replaced by the violin is really great.

Good work! Sounds like a "real" band that's spent some time together. Cool, write, vocals and guitar picking. Loving your guitar tone also.
Nice!!!

Anthony, Thanks for taking the time to listen... On a song like this we'll call it a fiddle. Robert, Thanks. I do have a few more (ok more than a few) I'll be gradually posting. Trev & Bob, Thanks so much for the nice words. Rob & Anne-Marie, Thank you so much and for the guitar compliment too! Floyd, Thanks buddy. Trigger gets all the credit!
