Hi Kevin!
I just read the news on the internet about the snowstorm. Hospitals are searching for volunteers with 4wheel drive cars to drive employees to work. Sounds quite severe :(

Thanks for the background info, I was about to ask for it :) Especially for the lyrics. Seems like I figured it out right anyway.

Ok. Thanks. The guitar player was already asking for it and I too run into some trouble with my midi. I've already played some parts and I'm now trying to select the synth sounds. Also this weekend we met with the bass player and he gave me some tips with the software synts because he's an expert with them, compared to me.

I'll let you know how we get along with this. I'll ask if I need anything more.
