Hi All I recorded this song because the verse is played all on one fret E9th. The chorus I played on C6th. This is one of those songs I got bored of at the end. I added the first bit for Borodin as it was his song before someone nicked it. Dave  https://soundcloud.com/user-627782904/strangers-in-paradise-mk2 |

| Hi Larry Thank you. That started as a Doodle. for years I would pop of to the music room play the usual set of songs. When my mate Mike retired to Wales. I brought a Focusrite Scarlett and a Reaper Licence. Best thing I ever did. It makes you expand your song horizon and hear what you sound like which is a great learning tool. And its fun. Dave |

| That's a scary thought. I have listened back to a few of our practice sessions and it does open the eyes. My 1st thought was we all overplayed our parts and it's too loud. I had a multi track tape recorder back in the 80s and later a Fostex digital. But it was hogging up my playing time. That's why I quit BIAB because I spent more time making and arranging tracks than playing. Things have changed for the better now. |

Hi Larry I think we all over played. It takes a long time to learn subtle playing. One day I will get it hopefully. I had BIAB from about 2010 but never learned to use it. Just loaded Midi tracks and played along. I search all other avenues before using it. I to would sooner be playing. I do a lot of the track work in Reaper. I turn the tracks to WAV and send them to Reaper as apposed to using the BIAB plug in. I have found it doesn't send a true version. I send the main tracks then go back and generate more tracks using different real tracks. Sometimes changing chords then sort it out in Reaper. Dave  |

| Great job. That song just BEGS for the steel guitar leading the melody! Nice choice, and nice execution. |

| Hi Mark Thank you. I find it hard to think of songs to play so tend to doodle and see what happens. Now and then I have an inspiration and go with it. Dave |
