Here's a new one - BIAB/RT's mixed down on Tascam DP-008. Thanks for listening... Bob http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10364224Rusted Rocketship Some years ago we rode A rusted rocketship to the sun You never once believed It was all just for fun You rose in the morning And another night was done Once I took a walk Ended up in another place You came and rescued me Such a familiar face You gave me back A sense of time and space Chorus: So c'mon baby We need something to believe in Cause we're running out of reasons everyday So c'mon baby We need something to believe in Cause we're running out of reasons everyday We'd listen to some Dylan And get tangled up in blue I would give you everything You were something to pursue You'd give it back And make it all brand new See the dawn come calling And the red sun over the bay The years are falling swiftly Our skies are turning to gray You used to run with the twisters Now you're just blowing away Chorus: repeat

Nice job - very Dylanesque in a good way - liked the lyric - the singing - the harp - good song.

Hi Bob,
I enjoyed this. Like the uptempo beat and the harmonica is especially nice.

Another good song! I can hear the Dylan influence here and also Neil Young comes to mind. Very much enjoyed!

HI Bob, It's all been said so please add a big +1 from me I've got to admit that I'm always captured by an uptempo 8-beat. The mix was excellent. The harmonica was a terrific touch! All the best, Noel

Noel, thanks. I've had a lot of interest in the song. In fact, I'm changing the title to "Running Out Of Reasons", changing the arrangement a bit and recutting it with another singer added. Stay tuned! Bob

Cool track! Great title! How do you like that Tascam Bob? That's a nifty little unit, it seems. Looks like that may be a good one to capture our band rehearsals maybe. Something simple, yet a little more flexible than just a stereo recorder. Nice work on this one!

Dan, thanks for your kind words.
I love the Tascam - I've been using their products for many years and have had every iteration of multi-track recorder. This one is great - very flexible and is able to produce some really great sounds without a lot of complexity.

As usual, great lyrics, and the music and your voice fit the song well. You didn't ask for any criticism, so I'll apologize in advance if I'm overstepping here. But you might consider dropping the harmonica on the verses. It makes them seem a bit busy, and doesn't seem to add much. Plus, there's less change when it comes in on the chorus, where it fits very well. Just a thought. Thanks for posting!

David, thanks for listening and I do appreciate your comments. This song is currently being re-worked to a shorter more consise version. It will also be performed with another singer, Tammy Carlson. The name has changed as well to "Running Out Of Reasons". So a lot of movement for this one song Thanks - I like the suggestions regarding the harmonica - the new mix is close to what you have described. I'll post it here over the next day or so. Bob

If you don't mind a bit of a digression here... When I was a kid, there were these rides in front of the grocery stores - a rocket, train or fire engine... That kind of stuff. And my brothers and I would beg our parents to let us ride on them. My recollection was that they were always reluctant, but I'm sure I'm only remembering my disappointments. The rides were always too short, and we'd immediately be saying "Again!" The rocket ride was always my favorite - it was shaped like the one in the one in the "Huckleberry Hound Lands on the Moon" ViewMaster reel (which just happens to be on my desk right now because my kids were going through the reels the other day): I knew the ride wouldn't really head out to space, but in the back of my mind, I still hoped for some small, improbable chance that it just might happen. And the imagery of that fantasy was strong and vibrant - I could picture the rocket barreling through the clouds, and into the upper stratosphere. When my own kids were younger - not that long ago! - I tried to make time for them to go on those ride when they asked, It really is true that they grow up fast. Anyway, the other week I was taking my teenage son around town, and we passed by the K-Mart we used to shop at when I was a kid. I remarked how the rides were gone, and told him the part that sucked about becoming an adult was how your imagination - and being open to something impossible - withered away. To the point: when I read the title "Rusted Rocketship", it really resonated with me. It's just a throw-away line, which is why I assume you've changed the title. Now, I'm not suggesting that you write any of this as a song. (I can write my own damn song, thank you very much. Or apparently, I can't. ) I'm just suggesting you might be another song hiding in that title.

David, cool story. I remember those rides as well. The rusted rocketship in my song represents my first car - an old rusted out VW Beetle from the 60's, which I thought was the greatest thing in the world and could take me anywhere - ah, youth! Now go write that song! Bob

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."
