A little thing I've been working on for several years  , and just rediscovered. I've lost the original BB file, so I have no memo. It's long, so if you're not buying any green bananas these days, you might want to skip it.  Thanks for listening, and Merry Christmas! Regards, Bob https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/track/little-candle

Wow. I don't think you can write a song I don't love. This is another really good one.
Enjoyed my listen.

Another good one.
I like the laid back feeling. Sad story.

Absolutely beautiful Bob!! I've never heard anything by you that I didn't like, but I've never heard anything I loved this much. It's great. The simple arrangement is perfect, and the rhythm infectious. Lyrics are wonderful-melancholy and inspirational at the same time. And, I doubt anyone could sing it any better. Incredible stuff!! And this is a great investment of 4 minutes-something this good deserves attention. Awesome! Take care. Greg

What a beautiful arrangement. I was hoping for a happy ending but it's a wonderful sounding tragic tale.

What a sad story, with beautifully crafted lyrics.
Excellent but it didn't seem so long as it held my attention.

Subtle, in the pocket, cinematic. Gorgeous, sing-able melody. Sounds like a classic the first time you hear it. The production is outstanding. Your best, I think. Everything about this is first rate. You can go fishing now. floyd

Bob, Good thing you didn't give up on it. A beautiful and exquisite write and arrangement. The strings sound fantastic. Your voice sounds fantastic. Has a little of that Gordon Lightfoot feel to it, which is always a good thing. All in all a gorgeous song. Bravo! Tom

This is a great song although very sad. Everything that you did is just superb. Your writing is fantastic and the story is so realistic that it was like watching a movie in my mind. I would like to have known what you did in BIAB for the music is very captivating. Very enjoyable!

Hi Bob.
It didn't seem a minute too long to me. (I've worked with Eddie.)
Beautiful song and sung with lots of emotion which brought me out in goosebumps. Like Josie, I was hoping for a happy ending, but...eh bien.
Going back for a second listen when I've found the Kleenex.
Have a good xmas.
ROG.

Charlie - Thanks for the listen and the kind remarks. Herb - Thanks. Appreciate the listen. Greg - Thanks. This is probably the longest song I've ever written. I just got carried away. The one I'm working on now comes in at 2:08, so I'm trying to make ammends. Trevor - Thanks for the kind words. Josie - Thanks. I'm a sucker for a tragic story. Alyn - Thanks for listening. Appreciate the nice comments. Lambada - Thanks for listening and the nice remarks. fj - Thanks. We're fixin' to go get some French grunts right now. Merry Christmas! Regards, Bob

So nice! I enjoyed every second of it. You've got a Jimmy Nail sort of vibe going with this song.

Merry Christmas to all!

I found this piece stunning Bob. A perfect match of lyrics, music, production and top notch vocal delivery: I wish I could get that level of emotion and sincerity. When things all come together like this a song goes straight to the heart.

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."
