This is an early effort, so I don't have any file info, but I remember I started with a guitar track (my trusty 1968 Guild F30) and built some synths over it.

Dedicated to Penelope on our 40th Anniversary coming up on Jan 25th.

She

©2002 Robert Randall Burke


She
Is my whole world
She's my best girl
One of a kind is she.


She
Never complains
She just remains free
That's what she needs to be.


I've traveled the whole wide world
Hopin' to find a girl
Just like a perfect pearl
Then, just when I'd given up
She came and filled me up
With all of the love you see.


She
She said “I Do”
One became two
For all of the world to see
She
She lights the way
She makes me stay The love of my life is she.


I've traveled the whole wide world
Hopin' to find a girl
Just like a perfect pearl
Then, just when I'd given up
She came and filled me up
With all of the love you see.


To Penelope....
The love of my life.




Merry Christmas!


Bob

Hi Bob.

First of all, Happy Anniversary to you both for January!

Well, you already know I'm a great fan of your vocals, but that has to be about the best I've ever heard you sing. I can't fault it in any way.

And what about that song! So moving, so beautiful. Penelope must be thrilled.

My wife has just said what an old romantic you are and why don't I write things like that. Hey ho...

You're gonna find it hard to follow that amazing track.

Have a great Christmas,

Regards, Roger.

I agree!! The drawn out notes in the chorus and beautiful melody reminds me of Righteous bros, Gary Puckett, or Roy Orbison. Very, very sweet song!! Take care. Greg

Bob,

I love the way your voice soars on those beautifully held notes
( I thought I was listening to Burton Cummings), and the song is simply lovely. The synths are a nice backdrop...( could have been strings?) but really the song is so good it doesn`t need more sweetness added.
Very enjoyable.

Robert

Hi 90Db, Excellent work! That guitar sounds very crisp and bright. The pads in the background make for a full sound. Great job! smile

Bob,

Definitely your best vocals ever! Some high notes here and there where you're taking a risk and succeed ;-)
(I always like it when people do that).
Beautiful composition!

Greg, again, said just what I thought. (Gary Puckett! Again!)

This melody is gorgeous. As always, the writing is sparse and stunning. Your economy of words astounds me (I just noticed...Tom already said that, too!).

Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
Happy Anniversary!

My thoughts exactly. You are surely one of my favorite vocalists here on the forum (or anywhere for that matter) this is superb.

Happy Anniversary and Merry Christmas

ROG,


Thanks for the kind words. It's funny- I actually got offered a contract on this song from a producer in Nashville (Jim Pierce). I was thrilled. Then, I took it to an entertainment attorney in Miami to have it checked out.

The attorney told me if I signed the contract I would be giving the rights away for $50. eek I didn't sign. grin


Merry Christmas!


Regards,

Bob

Thanks for the kind words. 40 years of marriage is a long time, but I hit the lottery with Penny and wouldn't change a minute of it!

Merry Christmas!

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."
