Rob,
A good choice of style/instruments for your subject.
Good mix and a fitting vocal. An interesting write (a surprising ending! really caught me off guard).

Down bye railway tracks in the freezing rain.
You slipped while we were running fell neath the train.
I held you tightly to me your hair so blonde
Honey I've needed you too long.
I found this puzzling. Did he save her or was that "it" for her. The song has a sweet, sentimental feel but takes on a lot darker tone if she dies. That would be an interesting contrast with the happy music and story to that point (something they might play in horror film). Really like the feel, recording, mix, and instrument selection for the style. Just thrown a little by that verse. Very nicely done!! Take care. Greg

Really like the feel, recording, mix, and instrument selection for the style. Just thrown a little by that verse. Very nicely done!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg.. I wrote this around people known back then as tramps. They often traveled in railway freight cars to get from place to place to find work. So I tried some how to include this in the song. (A tramp is a long-term homeless person who travels from place to place as a vagrant, traditionally walking all year round. The term "tramp" became a common way to refer to such people in 19th-century Britain and America.)To tell you the truth I don't even know if this lady dies. Due to my wife reaction to the lyric I felt it best to let the listener decide. I hope the verse didn't throw you too much but I guess Im happy with your reaction. Not that I'm sadistic. Ive killed a few characters off in songs with no lack of protest from my wife.. I think she stands firmly on your side. Thank you for your comments Greg. Rob.

Another good and enjoyable listen. You have a nice diverse repertoire of material and I imagine a lot of influences from over the years.

Interesting song. You use some interesting styles.
This fits quite well to what you were looking to accomplish. Depression era music....
The first two verses had me thinking this was about a hobo and his dog.... not too many women would put up with the situation described in those verses..... stealing eggs, living under bridges ..... at least very few that I know. But since a dog can't whistle..... that kinda blew that line of thought. Reading the comments by others and you.... at least I have the hobo part right.
Nice job on this
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Mercifully 1939 was the last year of
The Great Depression in the US...
at least officially. Both my parents
and all my grandparents suffered
through it.
This is a nice write and a very effective
vocal and arrangement for the tune.
I would never have thought of using
a dixleland band for such a song --
but dang it works really well.
Oh, and the mystique is very cool.
Good one!!
J&B

Nice job on this Hi GT. This song ended up more thought provoking than I thought. Thanks for your comments. Rob

Rob this is really a great song! Because I'm late everything has already been said so all that I can add is that I really enjoyed this toe tapper!
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.

Enjoyed the song. Like the mix and production, but I'm also a bit puzzled by the last verse. I think she lived, but I'm not sure.
My favorite lines:
'Sleeping under bridges hiding in old barns.
We'd steal some chicken eggs from someones farm
We're always getting bye don't do no wrong.
Honey I've needed you too long.'

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."
