Nice one, Chad. Catchy hook, a hint of Dylan in the vocals and tasty solos.

Thanks Leon! All of this feedback adds fuel to songwriting fire to motivate me. I have been trying to find a voice/style that works for me and a genre of music even.....seems like i comfortably lean towards a JJ Cale or Dylan style for vocal style.

Hi Chad ...

Now that was a fun listen! Love your voice. Really nice video, too.

I agree with Leon about the Dylan influence in the sound, not a bad thing! Thanks for a real nice listen! Best to you. Happy holidays ...

thanks Alan! This was a fun song and video to create...originally written for acoustic and left in the drafts folder....then pulled it out to find a more upbeat sound. It is encouraging to hear that my vocals work for it well.
Happy Holidays

Fun indeed.
Your vocal tends to sibilant explosions as a result of the reverb I suspect. That's not too hard to deal with.
I thought the tone of the solo was a bit aggressive given the melody and vocal style.
Fun.


Cheers

Thanks Ray,
Good ear....I am listening for that now and hear what you mean with the hissy part of vocal. Thinking of ways to tone down solo bits or maybe it's the distortion level perhaps.
Best wishes,
Chad

Fun song!! Did not realized Margaritas could do that to the skin. I've been burned from the inside with Margaritas many times.....still love 'em though! Great job!! Take care. Greg

Haha yes. I learned of this from wild parsnip which has the same chemicals in the plant juice that reacts to the sun when on skin. But have not been burned myself.

Chad,
Fun tune. Well arranged and played. Excellent video (cool looking mic too). A bit HF, but overall very good mix. Thank you for sharing.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
