Hey Don,

Were all of the backing sounds straight out of the PA4X stock GM or Sound files?
Also was you using a ready made style or did you create one or just record the backing?

Everything was stock out of the 4X. The style was one of the unplugged ballad styles. I don't have it in front of me and don't remember which one.

So nice to hear someone who can sing so well as you do with such a nice tone, Don. Fine vocals and playing the PA4X.

Thank you! I'm going to listen to your music now. I've heard some before and I remember that is excellent!

Hahahahaha!

I STILL can't believe I make a good living doing this :O

I've been waiting 30 years for the 'hand on the shoulder' and "Right, Fraud, you've been found out - get a real job"!!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. But it's too late to stop me now; I've been doing it full time since the 70s! I plan to taper off on my own after this month. Time to stop and smell a rose or two!

Hi Don....I assume you had a band back then? Or even then you used drum machines and stuff?
