I have been absent for many months. Life gets in the way...

I wrote this song in early October, 2015. The tune and title came to me quickly and within a few hours I had the lyrics completed. It is a jaunty song remindful of the commercial folk groups that came after the Kingston Trio in the early 1960s. My thanks to Bob Moore for playing banjo and singing the harmony parts.

I used RealTracks Country Swing style and substitutes:mandolin, two identical guitars panned left and right, bass, and drums. Bob added banjo. Recorded in Logic, mastered in Sound Forge.

Shortest song I have posted.

Thanks, Greg. I know Bob Shane and the current members of the Kingston Trio. They recorded tracks for me in 2012 for an album titled China Sky. I wish they would record this song.

Fred, this sounds great. The only thing I didn't like was that it was too short. Nice job. Tom

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."
