I sure did not mean to stir the pot on the issue of cover tunes. Being a musician all my life and playing cover tunes has pretty much been a way of life down south. But saying that, I understand the issue of payment for works done and would hope anyone who writes, records, markets those tunes would get paid for their efforts. Though the "laws" say differently, it sure seems overboard for someone to have to pay for performing a cover tune if he or she is not getting paid for it. Now days nothing is free and such is the world we live in. Greed has come home to roost.

That said, lets all get back to doing "what brung us here" and that is playing music and refining BIAB so we can at least enjoy our artistic creations. Having the ability to write and arrange tunes is something that escapes some who are musically inclined. I suppose that is why most play others creations, some play both and few play only originals. I am going to sharpen my writing skills and hopefully post them in the forum. The folks involved in the forum and the gurus at BIAB are a special group of wonderful people that are getting harder and harder to find. I want to be a contributing part of this growing family
