Way back when BiaB was available for PC (DOS only), Motorola Mac and Atari computers on floppy disks I bought a copy to practice improvisation on my saxophone with.

To practice improv I had been using recordings, but this gave me the ability to play virtually song I wanted, and try out ideas without embarrassing myself in front of other band members.

Later on when BiaB started allowing end users to make styles I tried my hand at it. I made about a dozen and gave them to my friends. My friends told me they liked them better than the BiaB built in styles (aren't friends great?).

I wrote a few more, took out an ad in Electronics Musician and sold a few. One day Peter Gannon called and offered to convert the Atari formatted styles to PC (it was called IBM format back then). Before long I had a side business selling styles and I am still writing style e-disks and fake e-disks today.
