These have a great sound to them, I can see why you would be a popular pub band. Very fun and the vocals and instrumentation are great.

Like you, Band-in-a-Box has me spoiled. I generally play two ways these days, though I have been in many bands, back when I had the energy to tell the lead guitar player why he could not come to a major gig after drinking a fifth and being too drunk to walk.

1. BIAB. Recording mode.

2. Playing live mode. Sit on a stool with an acoustic with my mouth pointed at a mic. No surprises.
