Thank you John for sharing your story. I totally agree that BIAB has made a huge difference in my life. I am soo thankful that I have learned the basics of using the program, although I know I have a long way to go and am not a real tecky person. I have never been in a band, have never toured and have not even performed at many open mic nights. As an older person I have no desire to tour or deal with the mechanics of being in a band. There is so much music out there that probably many people will not ever hear the songs I write or even like them. But there is a personal satisfaction I feel about the songs I write. Finally getting them to the BIAB level feels like I have brought them to a professional level. My next goal is to do an album when I get enough songs that I really really like to put on one. It has been nice to also meet some of the great musicians on this site.
