Hi all. When writing this song I was imagining the US civil war era.
No real story. Just what I imagined things to be.
All comments welcome.
Rob.

Picking Black Eyed Peas


Picking Black Eyed Peas

I went pea picking.
Picking black eyed peas.
I went pea picking.
Picking on my knees.

Picked them by the bushel picked by the pale.
Every single morsel kept me out of jail.
Rise before the sunshine before the sky was blue.
Eating possum stew.

I was banjo picking.
Played beneath the the moon.
I was banjo picking.
To Make my honey swoon.

Picked them by the bushel picked by the pale.
Every single morsel keep me out of jail.
Rise before the sunshine before the sky was blue.
Eating possum stew.

Rob, Great editing on the solos. The bluegrass real tracks are some of the best. Nice vocals. Unlike Alyn I'm praying for rain so I don't have to cut the grass! Tom

Another great job Rob. Harmonies are really tight. The bluegrass style is perfect. My only suggestion is that perhaps the vocals are a little too out in front.

I agree with Trevor on each of those points...

Hey Alyn. Hope the grass cutting went well.
Wonder how black eyed peas go with fish and chips.
Regards Rob.

Hey Tommy. Hope you got your rain. I hate mowing, that's why I love bare dirt so much.

Hi Rob,

Another good, entertaining listen! It's very impressive how quickly you produce songs. You certainly seem to have the hang of Sonar now.

All the best,
Noel

Hello Rob,

We think this is one of your best so far. A very good choice of real tracks, the same goes for the editing of the soloists. This bluegrass style really grows on you.

Well, you've hit on something I've actually done. I've had Black Eye Peas, butter beans, snap beans, field peas, okra, cucumbers, potatoes and more from our gardens in the past. Now, get them from the farmers market. Too much work and no longer cost effective.

Don't do the possum meat, but Rabbit, squirrel, Raccoon and Deer have all graced the table at some point in time.


Fun listen. Everything came together quite well.

Charlie

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."
