Registered: 12/06/03 Posts: 3156 Loc: Sydney Australia PeterF Veteran Registered: 12/06/03 Posts: 3156 Loc: Sydney Australia	Guardian Angel https://soundcloud.com/peterf1957/guardian-angel A wistful true story of misbegotten youth set in Australia (Cullendullah is on the NSW South Coast and Town Hall station is in the centre of Sydney.) Leon Vocal & Lyrics Me Backing vocals and quite a lot of guitar. Didn’t appear to have saved the BIAB track but Real tracks play Everything except lead and some rhythm guitar. Lyrics Pulled into the Cullendullah roadhouse Cause a light upon the dash was blinking red ‘When was the last time you put oil in this thing?’ Was what the man at the Cullendullah roadhouse said I guess I wasn’t very conscientious In those days about such things, or much at all By God I was so foolish, young and feckless The things I didn’t know it makes me shudder to recall I must’ve had a guardian angel Spreading out her wings to cover me I must’ve had a guardian angel How else I made it through those days is a flat out mystery Woke up behind the wheel of my little Renault With branches whipping past an inch away It was raining cats and dogs and I was drunk as Boris Yeltsin How I lived to tell the tale I really couldn’t say I must’ve had a guardian angel Spreading out her wings to cover me I must’ve had a guardian angel How else I made it through those days is a flat out mystery Reclining on a bench on Town Hall Station Missed the last train home an hour ago No money in my pocket, so I decide to walk it It’s only twenty miles so it’s up and off we go Never had much sense of direction So of course it wasn’t long before I badly lost my way A kindly taxi driver took pity on the fool And took me all the way back home even though I couldn’t pay I must’ve had a guardian angel Spreading out her wings to cover me I must’ve had a guardian angel How else I made it through those days is a flat out mystery

Fine vocals and perfect guitar pickin' for the tune. Oh, loving that guitar tone too. We much enjoyed it. Rock on!! J&B _________________________ Check out our BiaB SoundCloud songs!

Good rocker and some fine guitar. I thought the intro was a bit long but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Keep em coming. Tom

Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 7503 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 7503 Loc: Florida	A good rocker, Peter. Nice guitar works throughout. I listened first. I found it a bit difficult to follow the story - because of the music. So, then listened while reading the lyric. A well-told story. It made me think that the lyric style and music style were a bit mismatched - both being good, but perhaps needing different partners. floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And The other list...

Alyn - lucky you weren't coming the other way - I recall going down a one way street the wrong way with him 40 years or so ago. Floyd - I have an acoustic version quite different - you might have liked that one better (I think Leon prefers that one).

My Favorite Things - Nudge Chords in Band-in-a-Box®

Love this time saving feature.

Ever fill in the chordsheet fully or for part of song, and then discover you want to add or take away an extra beat or more somewhere in the chordsheet.

Nudge chords (melody) from the Edit Menu is your friend here, the dialog will give you all the options either to remove or add beats where its needed.

Love it.
