Josie and I are pleased to share this new song with you. We are working on some new music and this is one of our latest folk-style tunes. All music was produced with BIAB/RT's. The final mix was performed in GarageBand '11. Thanks for listening!  Bob http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10452515Copyright (c) 2011 Josie Beck, Robert Dean "Under The Skies Of America" The other day I was thinking about 1955 December in Montgomery and the passing of time Black and white TV and Ike in the news A dollar bought you lunch or paid your union dues Chorus: Hey, hey Rosa Have we finally seen the light? Freedom in the air flying high as a kite Hey Rosa, I'm still dreaming under the skies of America tonight The other day I was thinking about 1963 Vietnam a pillbox hat and John F. Kennedy The times they we're a-changin' right before our eyes But money, war and politics are not easily disguised Chorus: Hey, hey Jackie Have we finally seen the light? Revolution in the air flying high as a kite Hey Jackie, I'm still dreaming under the skies of America tonight Today I was thinking about this new century Triumphs and troubles from sea to shinning sea Are the days so much different are the voices getting bolder? When Bob sings Maggie's Farm I can see we're getting older Chorus: Hey, hey Everybody Have we finally seen the light? Resurrection in the air flying high as a kite Hey Everybody, we're still dreaming under the skies of America tonight

Very cool song! Nicely done.
My own little commentary on current events is that this is the face of world war three. Not power against power, but people against power. People can only take so much crap before they snap.
Anywho, great song you two!

Hi Josie and Bob,
What a terrific song! I love the way the song builds and builds, culminating in the final chorus. The emotional impact was sensational; a wonderful, powerful payoff. I could hear Fifth Dimension singing this song.
Josie, your harmonies were exceptional.
There's no doubt in my mind that this is songwriting excellence.
All the best,
Noel

Bob and Josie,
I really like this song! It has the feel of a 60's protest song, but yet it is hopeful and ultimately uplifting. I like the way the song builds. You two make a great team!

FAR OUT!
Seriously this is one fantastic song. It contains the perfect backing track for some outstanding vocals. Plus the lyrics are spot on.
Have you two thought about really pushing this one? If not you should!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
