An attempt at joy and lightness.
Comments and criticisms welcome.
Tried to include bars and chords that are not too dependant on formatting
hoping you will play and sing along. Cheers.

Richard,

Great to hear a RichMac song again. A cheery one, at that...

Don't recall hearing anyone using that guitar before... RichMac and the New Zealand Two?

Enjoyed. Well done.

RichMac,

The lightness works for me- and the western back track sounds great. Thanks for giving me a singalong lift!

Hi Floyd. Glad you enjoyed it.
As far as I'm concerned it's all just a bit of fun.
Merged two versions of the baritone track to flesh it out a bit more.
It's hard work being cheery though.
Smiling makes my face ache.
Cheers.

Thanks Rob.
Yes Johnny Cash and Waylon, Kristofferson, Willie.
That's my era.
If others add the chords and bar lines to their lyrics
I will be able to easily play their songs.
Something I would enjoy. Cheers.

Hi Joe.
Let myself go with the organs.
Generated a half dozen B4 tracks and a couple of funk and merged them all for a busier background.
Thanks for the comment. Cheers.

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
