Wonderful!

Bob,
Thank you!
When I suggested to Janice that we try a unison vocal on the higher lines in the verses as well as harmony on the chorus, I didn`t know if it would fit... boy was I thrilled with what she sent me.
Really glad you enjoyed this.


Robert

Have you ever seen a film starring Robert Redford, and titled "Jeremiah Johnson"? Your song evokes the wintry, wistful sound and feel that the composers of the film's score, Tim McIntire and John Rubenstein, conjured up in the film.

And, once again, sir, your lyrics overwhelm the senses with mood and galleries of imagery that create a whole world, verse by verse, line by line, word-by-word.

Ms. Janice's harmonizing vocals added to your own solo vocal makes you two sound like a man and woman surviving on the very frontier explored by Messrs. Lewis and Clarke.

It's music to listen to by the light of a single candle.

Carried away,

Loren,
Ok, there`s no question; when I finish my masterpiece I`d like you to do the liner notes!
There are several things you say about our collaboration here that I`ll cherish...thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts; some of them are going on my fridge.
I`m listening to the Jeremiah Johnson soundtrack now - very fine it is too!

Robert

I have great respect for writers who tackle real world events and history as song subject matter.

the writing is descriptive and lyrical and the melody is original and engaging (I hear a bit of L. Cohen)

great song and collaboration!

Graham,
I`ll do my best to keep the folk songs coming your way- your radio show is a good one for new ideas!

I enjoy the subtext of reading history and hopefully coming at familiar stories from a different angle in song.
The idea for Janice to sing parts of the verses as a duet came from listening to L. Cohen`s Leaving Alexandra.
Thanks very much for your listen and comments.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing!


Thank you Deryk for mentioning the harmony blend! Robert wrote a very nice song and was equally nice to invite me to sing on it.

Dani, Bob and Loren, thanks for mentioning my small part in this production. And Loren that was a wonderful description. Bud and I have watched many Lewis and Clark documentaries.

I'm super late to this thread, but I'm glad I got a chance to hear this.

Not only is this really well done, but - as so many others pointed out - the form is more a spoken poem than standard song form, which is very cool.

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

Melody is really beautiful as usual.
The vocals and harmonies of you and Janice are very comfortable.
Graham 's accordion is excellent.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
