I'd finished the drums, bass guitar, rhythm guitar, synth aahs and separate horns for the horn section. This took over 3 days to step write. Following day I loaded the project back in to my computer as I wanted to create an outro for me to walk off stage too. All I needed to do was take the middle 96 bars and delete them from the track and this would give me a seamless outro in the style of Reet Petite. I'd just deleted the 96 middle bars when the front door bell rang, as quick as a flash! I instinctively pressed control S!!! The complete chuffing Reet Petite was no more. By rushing I'd forgot to go to "Save as "to change the name!!! The last two days have been like the film Ground Hog Day. a silly simple mistake so easily done. Well, my girlfriend wants a spider for her birthday so I'm about to look on the web!
