Topic: Taking No Chances This Time - New Song
Hi all
My second effort - a little ragged round the edges and still a work in progress. I've lost it all twice when my PC crashed so I thought it might be just as well to post it.
Thus started out as as humorous song and the first part that I came up with was the bridge but it morphed into this. It's to be played up tempo. I wish I could work out time signatures.
