Every thing works well your band selection is spot on. Great vocals and production are excellent. Rob


Thanks so much, Rob! Appreciate your comments!

Good song Steve, amazing to me that you could write those lyrics so quickly. The "band" sounds great, perfect choice of instruments, as does your vocal.

Enjoyed the listen!


Thank you very much, Dave! This one kinda wrote itself. Once in a great while that happens, and I'm always glad when it does. Thanks for your kind words,.

The swing production suits it perfectly and the mix is excellent. Strong vocal (as always).

Hard not to enjoy... chair dancing...

Thanks, Floyd! Always appreciate hearing from you. Really appreciate the Hank Williams comment. He wrote so many incredible songs, and at such an early age. In my ever so humble, but accurate opinion, he was one of the greatest song writers of the last century. smile Thanks for stopping by!

Good job on this one.


Haha! Yep, I forgot to put the "Ah-Ha's" in there! Thanks so much for your kind words, Jim!

Steve.....

I'm glad to echo all other comments.
This is an easy listening song and good lyrical write with no cheesiness.
Story line continuity works very well for me.
Your vocals are clear, up front, relaxed and the song is well performed.

Very well done weed hopper.....back to it.

Great write - fun song, super positive message without being treacly.

Sounds super on my speakers.

And no, you didn't overestimated my interest in how you wrote the song. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Terrific, the words and melody flowed perfectly and matched the band's prowess. One of the best I've heard on the User Showcase.

I just caught this, Steve, glad I didn't miss it! A super job, great fun to listen to and the sheen of quality over the whole production is striking; utterly pro-sounding in every respect. Thanks for a very enjoyable listen!
cool smile

Thanks again to everyone who is listening and posting on this one! I've been extremely busy the past few weeks. Family birthdays, grandkids, work, upcoming anniversary, preparing for Father's Day for our church, etc... Wow! I got tired, just typing that!

But I truly appreciate all of everyone's kind words! I again, hope to be around here more. I do enjoy my friends here at the forum!

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."
