3-18-95 MIDI sequence by Dave Butler
(phila/germantown amateur mandolin & piano player)
using Band-in-Box Pro Win 6.03
BLU_HILL.STY Blueberry Hill style
key sig: E
play time: 
long play-along version --
alternate choruses omits melody

live sequence on channel 4 was recorded
at tempo 120, in several takes,
some overdubbing, 
no quantizing, few corrections:
 ch track        voice
  4  melody      01  acoustic piano
BIAB-generated accompaniment is in a standard
 BIAB style, not customized, has a 
 non-quantized "live" feel, including:
 ch  track       voice
 10  percussion  01  standard drums
  2  bass        68  baritone sax
  3  piano       27  jazz electric guitar
  7  guitar      28  clean electric guitar
  8  horns       (not used)
  6  strings     54  voice oohs
I use BIAB to create a rough draft which might
be refined later w/ a sequencer like Cakewalk
which can handle editing like pause & slow down.
usually I add extra choruses, omitting melody 
on every other chorus, for a 5-10 minute jam
which i'll accompany on mandolin.
this is a rough sequence created in an hour or so. 
typically w/ BIAB i first spend about 10 minutes
selecting style & voices, typing the chord prog,
setting part markers, looping, & ending points.
in another 5 or 10 minutes I can add a simple melody
& be ready to jam.
sometimes I record a bass line in the 1st chorus of 
melody track, copy it to all choruses, then overdub.
but often i'll just play a simple melody & rely
completely on BIAB's accomp.
BIAB will also generate harmonies if you want.
i usually don't.
channel 4 is the only channel set up for recording.
so if you mute/solo channel 4 you can hear 
the generated & live parts separately.
