   I've never had any kind of problem using older software with newer   
   computers - even microsoft builds backward compatibility into their crappy   
   os, i.e. winBlows software.

   That's how it's supposed to be.

   I Love outdoor gigs!   
   But it's waaaaay about time the weather starts cooperating!

   That's what got me to writing!   
   No matter what euphemism is used...'standards', 'classic', or anything else,   
   it remains nonetheless that those old tunes are Overdone, Worn out, and   
   STALE. They need a nice, Long rest. Meanwhile, Brand New Original FRESH   
   tunes can be the New Classics!!!

   You may find that your Original material will actually help to deprogram   
   Zombies, that they'll actually enjoy it, immensely - that's what I found   
   with my Originals, and that you'll be spearheading a return to Fresh, Real   
   country Music, and that'll be Awesome!!!
