A tune composed for a friend in Nashville after her daughter was mowed down by a drunk driver. She fought for a few years, but sadly never recovered.

Real tracks used is just the one Celtic fingerpicking guitar. The accordion used is my Excelsior 940

Hi Graham,

Sadly, I (Alan) can relate to this too closely. My oldest son was killed by a drunk driver in San Antonio, Texas in 1985. I wish your friend strength throughout the remainder of her time. Interesting that his mother played the accordion.

Typically, I'm not a big fan of accordion. But, dang, this is just so pretty ... seriously, it's simply lovely. You had me pleasantly stunned throughout. Thank you for this beautiful and powerful song. Wishing you the very best.

Alan

Alan, she did pass away a few years ago after a very long struggle.
Her mum is a wonderful singer and by golly sounds very similar to Patsy Cline.
She has released a couple of cds.

She put words to the tune but I havn't seen them so far as we lost touch for a couple of years when she moved from Baltimore to Nashville

Furry, you are the master of your craft! You do such a good job with these numbers that I don't even know how to describe! All I can say is they sound awesome and I wish I could play any instrument with the feeling you squeeze out of your accordion!

Sad backstory, but a wonderfully played tune.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks for the kind & touching comments guys. I love doing simple arrangements.
One of these days I'll compose a melody suitable for the lapsteel. Finding the inspiration is the problem just now

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."
