You've been hitting some really good ones here recently. I love the acoustic organic feel and what a great mix.
Top quality blue grass Thanks for the nice words Herb. Glad you liked it, Tom

I won't repeat all the positive comments, but will add that your harmonies are fantastic as well. Really enjoyed the tune and your flat picking!

Tom,
Dang, another good one . . . what toe-tapping fun. Yeah, that mandolin (partnering with that banjo) is bang up terrific. Great vocal, stellar mix. The roll continues . . . outstanding tune, catchy as all hell hook. Take a bow!
My best regards,
Deej

I was expecting a rock song, but surprisingly I heard an upbeat bluesgrass song. Nice lyrics with humor and something that could be called irony or reverse psychology, clever. Great combination of nice guitar playing, mandolins and banjos. Really catchy tune that made me smile.

Well, from a couple of folks who played in bluegrass bands for decades we gotta say that you have a genuine feel for the genre. Actually we knew that already!  The mix is nailed which again shows your familiarity with bluegrass. It's harder to mix than many, many folks realize. Your vocal, the melody and the lyric are all right in the wheelhouse of really good bluegrass. And those flat picking bits sound great in tone and chops. Nice to hear some bluegrass here and always great to hear tommyad! J&B

Most excellent bluegrass! Great song and a really good mix.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:

#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Tom.
Stunning!
I love the bluegrass sound and the mix is as polished as anything I've ever heard.
Great songwriting. Great arranging. Fantastic performing.
Listening to this, I feel like I'm at a live performance of a favourite artist!
Brilliant stuff!
--Noel That’s a great review. Thanks Noel,Tom

Tom,
That was a great idea you had about the mandolins!
You made a swinging song, so pleasant to listen to.
The vocals are so good, but they always are!
And that habit of yours (in the lyrics), well... not bad.
They may only cause headaches occasionally, but that is good for making beautiful songs!
Hans Thank,Hans. I’m glad you liked it, Tom That's pretty fab - the vocal, particularly in V1, sounds super authentic...I mean it does across the song but V1 seems to have some vintage sauce. I’m glad you stopped by and commented, Tom

Really like the choice of style. This is bluegrass at some of its best.
Good mix, and the solo breaks work perfectly.

It took many years to get to the point of being able to play the style where I started to feel comfortable. Thanks for your supportive and generous feedback, Tom

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."
