Thanks for all the information on BIAB, Winslow. I clearly don't know
enough about it. I wasn't all that enamoured of the original backing track
sounds I'd heard so didn't follow through on later developments.

If Randy really likes this update it probably does have a better sound
which I will probably like, so it's a great idea to let him have at least a
'small' listing of some of my songs (which will probably overlap at least a
few  of his).  He's pretty hip to some of the newer jazz I love as well ;)

I've been loading more and more of the songs I like to play against into my
 IPod (what a fun toy)..and still have my portable speaker system to bring
with  me. I do need to learn to sort the genres better, which caused too
much delay  last time as I was still figuring the system out on the fly.  As
with  everything, I'm running so far behind.

Much obliged,

Elizabeth

tunes:

BIAB can play hundreds and hundreds of tunes  in many different styles, as
long as somebody has entered the chord  changes into a BIAB file - and a
huge library already exists.



What I might suggest is that if you  have specific tunes you'd like to
play, that you email Randy and let him  know in advance. And perhaps he can let
you know whether he has those  songs or can get them.

(Sorry, Randy, maybe I'm increasing your  responsibilities here without
asking you.)
