Nice blues and a fine lyric. Was the photo the actual incident that inspired the song?

Nice.
Good arrangement and mix. The sax solos are well done! You use BIAB so well - you make it seem effortless.

A music friend once told me that a sad lyric is sometimes best delivered with an upbeat production. I think this song exemplifies that notion.
floyd's lyric quote is very strong. Fate vs natural selection, indeed. One of many standout lines.
Arrangment, write and vocal are all in our wheelhouse.
We much enjoyed the listen!

PS We can only wish your productions were on SC so we could add them to our playlist.

Peter Thanks, Peter. Happily, I chose a stock image off the Internet. The verbing of T-Bone for side crashes has intrigued me. I used it as a metaphor for life. Fred

Thanks, Floyd. I thought you would like those lines! Not effortless. Like you, I have had to learn through trial and error what works. Arranging and recording a song a week this year has developed my skills with BIAB arranging. Fred

PS We can only wish your productions were on SC so we could add them to our playlist. Thanks, Janice and Bud. I love shuffles! When I finish up the project in December I plan to move the 52 songs plus other BIAB-arranged songs to Sound Cloud and get on BIAB Radio. I was listening to your songs yesterday and enjoying them so much. Janice's voice really gets to me and the arrangements and playing are always top-notch. Fred

Fred, This is almost the story of one moment in my life, in late December 1972 when I owned my first car a Hillman Imp. I had the car for only a few days when a drunk driver ran the traffic lights (stop light) in Golders Green London, he was on a red. His car bounced of my driver's door and hit at least two other cars. I woke up a day or so later in the hospital where I was training to be a Dentist but no serious lasting damage apart from broken ribs, but I was almost totally purple from the bruises I got as I was thrown out the passenger door and bounced along the road!! The driver was eventually caught and I believed jailed So in a way  I really enjoyed your song, the shuffle feel was excellent, Great mix. Alyn

Wow, what a startling picture of that car crash! Jeez, I hope whoever was involved is doing OK now, or at least better than they must've been after that wreck! Great tune too, the most world-weary lyrics often sound best over the most upbeat backing tracks... Awesome job on this one, with a great lesson, to boot! You never know what might occur

Floyd beat me to it again! I had copied the chorus and damned if he didn't copy the first two lines. This is really well done in every way-clever, lively, and well executed. Really like this one! Take care. Greg

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
