This YouTube video begins with a 30 second intro to one of our new songs, "Circling the Drain" which is available for auditioning in the User Showcase. That posting also contains song info about "Circling the Drain."

The musical intro of this video was created with BIAB and is titled "Topdown":

"Topdown" is an original song featuring Allman Brothers style twin guitars. It currently has no lyrics. The first 30+ seconds of the song are currently used along with original video footage as an intro to other original songs for upload to YouTube. Since all the music in the videos were made with BIAB I gave the proper credit to PG Music in the intro. Hopefully, there will be a full version of "Topdown" in the near future with lyrics. In the meantime, enjoy! ~Rob

Have you got the link for your initial "Showcase" post of this tune? I can't seem to find it, and the "Tag" feature for submitting videos doesn't seem to work on my old system smirk


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Try the Search Forums field on the upper right. Putting in the song title worked for me. -Rob

That was going to be my next step, just thought I'd ask the person who referenced it first wink

Edit: I've found it, btw, so it's all good cool

Thanks, Mark. Pleased you liked it. Not sure about that "story of my life" thing. Hope it's not too bad there.
