Sonny, if you want, I'll see if I can find a good midi file of the song and convert it into a rhythm track but I'll need to know what key you want it in.

Hey thanks John,,,I think it is normally played in E,,,but once I get a track (chord pattern and style)I can put into BIAB I can change the key or tempo. My direct email is sonnyjenkins@satx.rr.com

Sonny, I sent a couple of the tracks to your e-mail, one in E and one in A.

The recording software that I have used for the past 5 years can be purchased at this site for around $25.00 http://www.dak.com/shop/details.cfm?item=131 its an excellent recorder and editor for both Wav and MP3 files.

John I used to use an earlier version of that software, but it somehow got corrupted so I switched to audacity, which I personnaly like better due to the many free plugins available. I don't know if you have tried audacity, but it's a good one as well.

Hi Robert. I have tried the Audacity recorder before and yes it is a very good program. The first version of DAK that I used was on a CD but since then I ordered the later version and purchased it by downloading it. I will probably give all of it up soon because diabetes has taken my eyesight so bad that I have to zoom in on a lot of stuff to see it well enough to do any editing but I'm just too stuborn to quit.

Sorry to hear about the diabetes thing John. Seems like we are all fighting one issue or another. The Dak Recorder is pretty cool. The tracker feature let me record an entire side of LP, cass etc. then separate it by track, and edit and name the indiviual tracks. That is one feature that audacity lacks. I 've gotten so used to audacity now and the effects are awesome plugins. I hope you keep going for a long time Bro.
