I too got Eric's CD and because I have difficulty getting the guys 
together for rehearsals I am doing his arrangements in Band in the box.  
Chord background only set up for Bass, Drums and piano.  I have about10 
done so far.  Is there anyone interested in the Backgrounds for 
rehearsals?  If So I will make a CD available when I get a few more 
done.  I am putting in the metronome markings that Eric uses but they 
seem a little slow overall.

I bought a copy thinking that if only one 'works' for me, I'm ahead.  Last night we worked our way through about half the charts and were absolutely delighted when they all 'worked'. All of us had different musical backgrounds, including the banjo player from a 'Bush band', but, once underway, we just kept on going. Our instrumentation (Tenor Sax, Euphonium, Trombone, 2 x BbTubas and a Banjo), was able to put the charts on the stands and play 'Dixeland', straight off. Thank's Eric.
