Name: Perfect..... Backing Track by Peter McNaught
Duration: 4 min 48 s
Description: I was asked to produce a track for this song....not my normal genre, no vox but guide inst only

This is an original about leaving without goodbye where we're still not sure if she died, left him for someone else or just left him. 
        It's done here using Band in a Box, Reaper and Cakewalk.  I added a bass, vocal, some guitar and some midi for the solo and bridge.

  Back To The River

She was waving from the bank of the river that night 
as I watched from the bridge.
She will never know how hard I cried after what she did.
And now Heaven only knows where that river's gonna flow.
She's never coming back this way I know.
So now I know I cannot go back to the river.

I remember all those times when she looked into my eyes 
as she promised me her love.
My only vision now is sadness in those lies when I watched her from above.
Was she waving me goodbye?  Was I too scared then to try?
She's never comin' back to hear my cry,
and, yes, I know I'll never go N

BR: I will never hold you in my arms again, never have a chance to say goodbye.
Was there someone else?  Something that I did?
Now what can I do?  You never even told me why.  

Such a long, long time ago, but this feeling never passed.  
There's still no answer why.
We were taking it all slow, but it happened all too fast.  
I had no chance to say goodbye.
Was she waving me goodbye?  Was I too scared then to try?
She's never comin' back to hear my cry,
and, yes, I know I'll never go N
Oh, God, I know I cannot go N

Back To The River

Wheels Up is a demo version of a song I wrote for The Flying D'Rito Brothers.  I used several MIDI and software instruments including XLN's "Addictive Drums", PG Music's "Band In A Box" (electric guitars), and Cakewalk's SI-Bass Guitar to create all the tracks except for my vocals and the acoustic guitar.

Wheels Up

It Aint Me

Peace, If you are at peace with yourself you will be at peace with the world.

Via my breath and keyboard controller I am playing the French horn and the Swam alto flute.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the balance of the tracks using my sounds sources. 

Peace

4 Catch That Teardrop

writing a different style country song.  Tracks made on Band in a Box. Same gear configuration as my other stuff.

Thank You Everyone

Dust on the Bottle

Promised Land

Down on 16th avenue, where guitars used to play 
The legends of the honky tonks now ghosts from yesterday
It's still called country music but I really think they're wrong
There's something strange in Nashville and you can't even hum along

Country music's still alive but not on the radio
You find it in the honky tonks and internet downloads
But you won't find Merle or Willie, and George Strait ain't around
Steel guitars and fiddles have been replaced by synthized sounds

Ohh Ohh they say country music died
Ohh Ohh I'm here to tell you that they lied
Ohh Ohh I'll play my guitar  all night long
Ohh Ohh and I'll say it in a song

This song's for the players,  still out on the road
Singing with a broken heart, living for the show.
On stages all across this land keep the legacy alive
What comes around can go around this country boy will survive

Say It In A Song
