[size:14pt]What caused you to be filled with such bigotry and hatred for Jews? [b]Please provide evidence to support your accusation of anti-Semtism. This is a very serious accusation and failure to prove it makes your question defamatory. In Australia the only justification, in law, for such a statement is the "In Truth" defence. You need to prove that I am as you claim. Have at it. Ray, did you or did you not write the following? The decisive anti-Semitic book I was reading and the book that influenced my comrades was ... that book by Henry Ford, The International Jew. I read it and became anti-Semitic. The answer is of course you did write it. You read the book and "became anti-Semitic". Dear Bass Thumper Clearly, you did not read the comment fully or properly on more than one occasion. As repeated in my previous posts, it is a quote of a Nazi regarding Henry Ford's book. It's in quotation marks and names the Nazi as well. Here is is copied and pasted from my 1st use of it: "Ford who in the Battle of the Overpass had his striking workers shot & killed, the famous antiSemite: "...convicted Hitler Youth leader Baldur von Schirach who, in his role as Gauleiter of Vienna, deported 65,000 Jews to camps in Poland, stated: "The decisive anti-Semitic book I was reading and the book that influenced my comrades was ... that book by Henry Ford, The International Jew. I read it and became anti-Semitic. The book made a great influence on me and my friends because we saw in Henry Ford the representative of success and also the representative of a progressive social policy"." (You may note that the syntax and flow of the quote are clearly that of someone for whom English is not a 1st language). AND here it is from the 2nd time I referred to it: "I quoted a German Nazi, Baldur von Schirach, who claimed it was Ford's anti-Semitic book, The International Jew, that set him & his colleagues along the path that eventually came to him sending tens of thousands of Jews to concentration camps. I did this to illustrate how deeply flawed & darkly influential Ford was." Those are two initial opportunities for you to have read my text correctly and a third when you went to it to quote it as an example of my supposed anti-Semitism. You've failed some pretty basic reading and comprehension tests mate. DCuny, (thank you sir), also pointed out that you had interpreted/read my post incorrectly. That's FOUR opportunities to properly digest a single piece of information, yet you failed to do so each time. In fact you continue to assert a falsehood, impugning my reputation and failing to reflect not only upon your reading/comprehension error but on your own increasingly belligerent position. I'm now less concerned with your inability to comprehend written text than I am with your state of mind and your evident inability to veer from your set path. Were you a truck you'd have met a brick wall by this stage but trucks don't have the ability to manage cognitive dissonance, so your misguided momentum continues. I reiterate: READ IT. READ, then REREAD. Break it down into sentences, then phrases, then words so you can grapple with the meaning. Reassemble those components as originally written and absorb the full text, in context, and reflect on your accusations. If you fail to grasp the meaning, facts, content and implied information after that process then I'm at a loss as to what can be done for you. You'll have repeatedly defamed me through what could only be seen as sheer stupidity. I suppose that some sort of legal defence.

Masterful, Floyd. Great vocal, lyric and production as usual. I prefer to use the windows notepad as it's tidier and no messy crossing out, but always have paper and pen elsewhere in the house. But I get the point. Re: "writing just for me", I do that all the time. Vic.

Thanks TuneMonger, lingyai, Ghostgum and Andrew. To get a Suno AI cover, I upload the song with Biab and melody(wav) in it. The melody can be played with a piano. I add the lyrics. Suno Ai will follow the notes to sing them with a real voice. And then, I extract each track of the result.

Dee Johnson was a teacher of mine in high school when I was first learning guitar. She would have "Sings" at her house on weekends. All kinds of musicians showed up. Fiddlers banjo dulcimer guitar you name it. They did a lot of old ballad type stuff and some "hillbilly moonshine" style music. She was a fan and a master of old Scottish and English folk tunes. I swear she had the entire Childs catalogue memorized. This was my favorite and the first I learned. VERY different from the Jim Moray version you introduced me to and this is how I play it. I'm thinking about visiting the Celtic styles in BiaB and do a semi rocked up version of it myself now thanks to you. Hope you enjoy this version

Thanks, Sawmill! I had to look up "Fair Margaret and Sweet William" as I'd not heard of it. Jim Moray does a rocked up version and I definitely prefer that to the folk versions. To not clutter this thread I put a post up in the Off Topic forum for you WaoBand

I am highly disappointed that Bar Lyrics are not yet supported in the IOS app. It found several references saying "bar-based lyrics are supported in the IOS version". It was a significant factor in my decision to purchase BIAB. My plan was to use the IOS version on my iPad for backing tracks with lyrics. Now I will have use a workaround. I should say I have found great value in the Windows version. But the IOS version is worthless to me without the bar-based lyrics in the chord view.

yes it has that capability. Once i know the free lite version is working i will need to test the Pro version that has some cool features. Like A BiaB type chord sheet that allows the user to copy paste in text lyrics, type in chords or to copy paste in Ultimate guitar sheets as well. feel free to shoot me a private message and i will link the html file.

I daren’t clean my studio … I have an idea for a new song scrawled in a film of dust across the top of an amp. When creativity strikes, you have to get it down before it disappears.

Thank you, rayc. A brief, positive response from you is quite high praise in my book. We appreciate it! Hey there Ron, 45 years in the making, just like wine getting better with age. Love your fills, nothing wrong with them, if you throw the ones you discarded my way, I'd be more than satisfied. Loved the harmonies that came into the song toward the end, exceptional. You're a fine musician, lyricist, and artist. Love yer work, kind regards Thanks for the kind remarks, Lee. My brother doesn't play an instrument and I'm not a lyricist, SOoooo...we make a good team. The extra harmony on the chorus at the end is an added high harmony. I'm mostly in falsetto, and not singing it particularly well, but I got away with it in the mix. I do love the dynamic punch of added harmonies. Fun to sing, too.

That's a good though, although I can't duplicate the looping problem as described. I don't think it would be related to the (fixed) bar one offset bug when loading an old song.

If 2 billion people are posting three bad songs on your platform everyday that took them 2 minutes to write how in the world are you supposed to find your way through the trash and handle the paperwork burden. It's not possible. There's another layer of that ... how in the world does one sift through that to find songs to ones particular taste? That will also get more difficult, perhaps become impossible.

Agree, additional looping functionality would be great. To be clear, it currently works the same as it did in the previous version.

Interesting mix of a blues singer with the island beat going on in the tune. Thanks, well Janice sang bluegrass and acoustic country for many years before the blues thing. And we listened to Marley and Buffet during that time. 😀 J&B

Mike my 2017 iMac IS a 27" 5K with 64GB of Ram with the 3TB Fusion Drive, still with 2TB available, but that's probably the bottleneck. Still a great computer, but we ALL get old and slow down a little. So its still more than capable to use as a standalone proper computer and still a good 5K monitor with Luna Display.

I'll add to Mike's endorsement that I upgraded to Melodyne Studio in 2017 and have received free updates since. Their instructional videos are short and laser-focused, too. Awesome company and product... Same here.

You are surely an apprentice i can learn from, Ken. i always thought "wistful" was waltz's first name. Good mix. The lows may be a bit overpowering, yet still add good depth to the overall sound. This song sounds great in your, er my headphones. Also sounds good on the Klipsch speakers. A beautiful feel and lovely vocal. Thanks Babu. I'd kept those lows as I wanted something that sounded like a diesel powered blimp flying low over my home, don't ask me why.

There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass.

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
