floyd posted Stoplight on North Main Street and I wrote " The American way of talking really lends itself to songs because in my town the title would be "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" which sounds ludicrous as a song title.  and floyd replied " I'm pretty sure a gibsonated "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" is a masterpiece just waiting to happen." Thanks floyd for the idea! It was a really quick song from start to finish, about 4 hours!! I had a cold so the voice is a bit croaky. dunno about masterpiece tho;  The photo for the song is the traffic lights in question  Here is The Traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive she made it so damned hard to love her she made just real certain I knew just how she felt she screamed just one more time so I ran across the road at the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive well i decided it was time for me to have a drink or two and my favourite bar was only up the road thankfully the boys said how you bin, she let you out again I told them about the incident on prince of wales drive Boy how they laughed they laughed until they cried and very soon even I had joined in the beer began to flow then we all said that we'd go to the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive Boy how we laughed we laughed until we cried and the someone noticed that it had just started to rain the beer was really flowing so we decided not to go go to the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive Style is _ALLNITE.STY (All Night Rock 'n' Roll Boogie) RealTracks in style: 520:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 2151:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansBoogieKevin Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 884:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockLowA-B Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 881:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockHighA-B Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 1696:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryDrivin8ths Ev 150 RealTracks in style: 687:Harmonica, Background Pop Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 2152:Piano, Acoustic, Soloist NewOrleansBoogieKevin Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 424:Harmonica, Soloist Blues Sw 120 RealDrums in style: RockHardModernEv8^2-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat And a drum loop called 160 beats ******************* enjoy Alyn

Hi Alyn,
This is funny and you did a pretty good job for a 4 hour write!
I feel your pain singing with a cold - I seem to go from one cough/cold/throat infection to the next.
I thought I might do a song with vocoder vocals to mask my cold.
Cheers

Alyn,
Well, that backbeat woke me up!
The croak is there but it adds a bit of attitude so not to worry.
Thanks for putting your 4hrs song in the can - its a fun listen.
Robert

Alyn,
I really like this! The image of the woman screaming and you running across the road at the lights on Prince Of Wales Drive was vividly visual. It carried me through the entire song! What a terrific way to pull the listener into verse 1.
Your imagination seems boundless!
Regards,
Noel

Hi Rec, This was going to be one of my songs for that XTRA pak competition, but better ones soon appeared. The backing appeared almost immediately and the words took a little longer but seemed to flow naturally from my brain. A rough copy was done the 1st night and vocals were recorded the next day. Mixing and "playing with" the scratchy vocals however took a bit longer. Flipping colds  Glad you enjoyed tho' Alyn

Floyd was right when he said "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" is a masterpiece just waiting to happen." You made it happen! I also think this is more Stones then Beatles, but whatever, I think this is an excellent song. I lived through a British invasion now I'm living through a Welsh invasion. I just hope that the Irish don't catch wind of these invasions Ducking and running for cover.
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.

Robert Glad you enjoyed. It started as an anti-love song "she made it so damned hard to love her" but I got stuck on that line for weeks, then floyd gave me the idea and it deteriorated from there rather quickly So glad you enjoyed Alyn

Noel Thanks Noel, this is probably the fastest song from start to finish that I have ever done thanks to BIAB. The style just helped the flow of the words, and I also relied on the funny moments as one by one my friends, including me, got divorced around the turn of the century! Gotta laugh sometimes! Alyn

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."
