The piano/cello/Janice combination - well, that's about as good as it gets... a gorgeous vocal.

Floyd,
Thank you, I couldn`t agree more about all the praise for Janice`s singing!

You two should be very proud of this one.


That`s very kind, Mario!

What an absolutely beautiful song! I love the write, and the simple arrangement allows all the feelings and emotions to ring out in this intimately personal song. Of course, Janice is a great choice for the vocals. As usual, you nailed it, Janice.

Loved this one!

Thanks y'all. I was very touched when Robert asked me to sing a composition that was so personal to him. I'm glad you liked it!

Tom,
I was a fairly new writer when this song began and remember getting help from my guitar teacher to make that low part fit with the chords I had. I also really like the way Janice phrased those parts here.
Many thanks for your listen and comments.

What a cool composition, and I am pretty sure that this is Janice's best vocal performance so far.

Rob


Rob,
Thank you!
This song is probably a a departure from J&B`s Americana material - I`m biased,of course, but I also think it brought out the best in her voice.

What a fantastic ballad.

The unmistakable genius of Janice's voice, and with such a perfect clean backing.

Very, very nice.

Torrey,
I`m glad you enjoyed this song.It was harder than I`d thought to find the right piano track,and Bud`s tweaking really helped it sit nicely behind Janice`s vocal.

Beautiful ballad. Great performance over a simple backing track is perfect for the arrangement. Great imagery in the lyrics. Collaborating with Janice and Bud is certainly the right combination.

Standing ovation from me. Very enjoyable listen.

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
