Hi All,

Here's a reflective little folk song for year-end…

Shadows And Spirits

All BIAB RTs - recorded and mixed in GarageBand.

Thanks for listening!

Bob,
Good song for the season!

I like the way you laid out the rhymes.
Lyrics and delivery are very Dylan-esque.

Thanks for posting! I hope you have a merry Christmas

I agree with Pat, excellent song for the season and very Dylan like. I really liked the lyrics and your vocal. Plus that guitar was spot on.

Excellent song.


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.

Hi Bob,
Indeed good vocal.
The song is indeed Dylan-esque, in my book that's a very good thing!
Merry Christmas

Hi Bob,

That was a great listen. As always, your unique style drives a very memorable journey along a highway of song. It's a great hook, "Shadows and Spirits".

May all be well for Christmas and beyond,
Noel

Bob, this is your sound. Those drums work so nicely with the acoustics. Good write for the year's end. Nice job on the solo editing. Very well sung as usual. Up to your high standards. Merry Christmas to you. Tom

We are big fans of your writing and singing and this
one is up there amongst our favs.

"Standing in the window
Behind the frozen glass
It's almost like a painting
Can almost feel the grass
And somewhere a heart is breaking
Such a fragil zone
Those shadows and spirits we have known"

Just wonderful.

Have a great Christmas!

Bob,

One of your all time best in every aspect.

Writing, vocal, production, and mix - excellent. Everything perfectly placed.

Nice job of using the Dire solo without it sounding like "the Dire solo" as it so often does..

Nice!

Very cool song!! Some beautiful images and abstract poetry. Really like the arrangement and the vocal. That Latin percussion is becoming part of your signature sound. Enjoyed everything about this!! Take care, and Merry Xmas. Greg

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
