Hi All,

Here's a new little folk song inspired by my affinity for the radio and its connection to my life in New York throughout the years… smile

"And if time could sing
It would have whispered in stereo"

Love that line, Bob...

Good mix. A good listen. Strong vocal. The instrumentation carries the song well...

Enjoyed it..

I like the clean approach you took here with the arrangement. All the percussion and simple, sparse guitar.

much enjoyed!

Hi Bob. Interesting writing, as always from you!! Really dig the vibe. I assume the Fall day was 9/11/01-burned into all of our memories. This song is a really interesting tribute. Although I'm not crazy about much of the music on the radio anymore, radio definitely has been a mainstay in my life (these days talk radio more). There is something about the connectedness that's compelling. Not as big and pervasive as the web but more intimate. Thanks for sharing this interesting and enjoyable song! And, there were your signature congas again, and again fitting in perfectly! Take care. Greg

Hi Bob,

Another very enjoyable listen. The groove, the melody and the vibe all collaborated to really pull me into this one. Nice work. I thought the mix was great and your presentation was perfect for the genre.

Regards,
Noel

Hi, Bob !

Seems to me it has to
be a Bob to come up
with such brilliant
lyrics ! To me you are
a greater show than Dylan
himself !:))

I guess we all miss
radio times !!!

I liked everything about
this folk tune of yours !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Bob,
This is brilliant!
Hey radio took me from the first phrase, to the end.
Very well produced, every note counts, not one sound or note to many!
Loved the production, and you use your voice very efficiently.
Well done!

Greg,

Yes, I remember taking the train home to Long Island from NYC that day - I had a small digital radio that I used to keep in my bag - listened to that the whole way home.

I still find a link to radio no matter where I go - still means a lot to me.

Thanks so much for listening and your kind words.

This is fantastic! I really like the sparse instrumentation in this. This song is so strong that it does not need anything else.

Your vocal was perfect, the lyrics outstanding and the mix was super.


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Nice sound, evocative lyrics and good singing. I like the spareness of the sound, and the percussion in the back.

Your songs make me think of poems set to music (in a good way), and this arrangement works really well with this song.

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

This is pretty cool. I found myself letting it play in the background while I did some other stuff, just simple easy to listen to, no pretension. Smooth and pleasant. to offer critique, I would not have used so much time between lines and you are certainly no vocalist, but hey, neither was Dylan, it's not a major problem in this style of music which I think you pulled off very nicely. Fun!

Like floyd alluded to
"And if time could sing
It would have whispered in stereo"
really nailed it for us.

And, man, do we enjoy your
stripped down, no meat left on
the bone, productions. They
are incredibly effective and have
definitely influenced our approach
of late.

Great sound on your vocal also.
Got this on our itunes "internet radio"
play list!

J&B

PS You are a vocalist

Bob,

I really enjoyed this song. The sparse production as others have commented was perfect and your vocals had plenty of room to fill out the mix. Great lyrics too. Excellent job, thanks for sharing.

Hey Bob,

As your duo partner, call me partial but I've always known what a great vocal stylist you are and I'm always glad to hear others also perking up their ears on that point. grin

This song and your last one as well have a great Folk Coffee House sound - like I'm right there with you sitting in the back shadows taking it all in.

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.
