This is my second post and the song is called Lost in New Orleans. I have never been to New Orleans but what I have read and seen about this place is that is shrouded with mystique. Having this impression of New Orleans is why I wrote this song which I think just adds to the color of that mystique.
All tracks are RealTracks and the vocal is by my good frien Daniel Hensley.

Hi Sonny,

nice choice of RTs and good vocals.
You'll get more comments if you wait until
your previous song has disappeared from the
top page before posting a new song.
And maybe also if you start commenting on others.

Cool little tune!! The band really captured the feel, and the lyrics were clever and unusual. A fun listen! Take care. Greg

Just got off work. I really appreciate your input Guenter and I will certainly take your advice. I do not have a whole lot of free time but I will make the best of what I have.
Thanks again.

Thanks again Greg. BIAB has a lot to offer and I would someday like to dial in on everything that is there.

You have a great retro feel to your vocals.
I found this tune thoroughly convincing.
Great effort. Rob

I'm just waiting for you to stop thinking that you're not a musician smile

"shrouded with mystique"

I thought you captured that vibe really well with this song. Very cool arrangement.

Hey Sonny, you'll need a life time (or more) to dial in on all of it. In three years we've tapped about 5% of it but, man, do we ever have fun with that!

Nice job on this...particularly capturing the feel. The vocalist
and arrangement and the RT's worked well together.

Kudos!

Hi Sonny,

That clarinet intro immediately grabbed me. Nice! After that, you had my attention all the way. I must remember that it's best not to text while walking in New Orleans smile

I enjoyed this. It's easy to tell that it's written by someone who know his way around music.

All the best,
Noel

Sonny,

Another interesting song. Quite unique (I think). A mix of old and new.

Nice sound, interesting instrumentation. Again, I think the vocal is just a tad "up-front" for the style of song - could be nestled into the mix a little more (a terrific vocal, btw).

Cool stuff. I hope you will post you lyrics as you "show us more"...

Digging it.

Hi, Sonny.

Fun song. Rhyming are overrated.

I like the moral at the end. smile

By the way - if you use the quote tags in replies, it'll be easier to read them. The syntax looks like this:

[quᴏte="Valued Customer"]I'd like fries with that![/quᴏte]

And renders like this.
