If you bought or even checked out Notes Norton's site about such issues you'd note that :

His disks do name the tune but in a 'legal manner'.

He had lawyers go over the issue and you cannot copy-write a chord progression only the melody and the words. Which is why he sells the chord progression and you can get the fake book from him.

Many musical acts I encounter use some sort of backing tracks, and I've never seen a problem with that. If you are worried about the issue growing a new nose you can either not visit the thread, or hit the notify moderator button and tell them I lost my mind.

I was going to post today but as goes the cancer battle...I ended up laying down at 10 am. and waking at 5 p.m. Nothing new there....as long as I sleep tonight.
