Excellent song.
Super guitar playing.
Important matter in your lyrics.
In Italy, in 1963, we had a Vajont dike disaster and as you said in your lyrics, about 2,000 souls went
to Heaven.
In everything, as it happened, first money, after people.

Segio, You are so right. In today's world sadly it seems money always comes first, Tom Good political song.
John Anderson did something similar back in the day.
Water..... ask California how important it is. They shut it off to the farmers to try save some miniature fish.
Foolishness..... if you ask me. DO the right thing.
Nice job on the song. I could see this being the banner song for that movement. Great stuff Tom!! Hard to imagine anything about it being better. I had heard some reference to this but wasn't sure what it was about. I was going to reference the battle in California as Herb did. I hope this song gets to a lot of ears. So well done!! Take care. Greg Greg, Thanks for the fine comments, Tom

Wow - what a tune! You did an outstanding job here, and the subject matter here only makes it hit harder. Incredible vocal performance, and some outstanding melodies here. You can hear the passion in your voice too. Very well done - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Hi Tommy,
Good luck changing the minds of politicians.
I like the song. It has good production values and straight forward lyrics but it didn't move me. Songs created in support of a cause need to have an emotional impact and this song didn't hit me in the gut. I never understood (from the song) what we're loosing.
I love the Everglades because I've experienced it. The summer heat, the smell, the sound of wind blowing over the reed marshes and through the swamp trees, the view of the sun at dawn or dusk (more dusk than dawn for me!). You have to make citizens realize what their losing so they will bring the politicians in line. Jim, thanks for taking the time to send your thoughts. The song is not about the trees or the air quality or the smells or the sounds. It is about the decline in water quality. The entire second verse states the problem; “ What about fifty years from now when all the fish have died The Seagrass gone and the algae bloom is everywhere in sight Our drinking water filled with salt it’s a scientific fact Disaster’s at our doorstep if we fail to act”. I understand you don’t get it. Thankfully some folks do get it as it is being played on ESPN radio on a local weekly fishing show. I do appreciate that you have stated your opinion and I will keep your observations in mind for any future political forays. I do see your point but I also think you missed something here. Respectfully, Tom

Man, great job Tom, love this one, guitar and vocals are so good, i am a guitar fan and this song brings it!!!! We lived in S florida a few years, and we would go the Everglades regularly. Agreed!!! Save the Glades!!!! Clifton. Thanks for the kind words, Tom
Across the southern tip of Florida including the beautiful Florida Keys, We are in the midst of an environmental nightmare. This has not seemed to reach the national attention in the way we had hoped. I have spent a good portion of my adult life on these waters and it is heartbreaking to witness the decline in quality. A group of charter boat captains are in Washington DC as I write this. Hopefully they can rattle some cages.
What a great gift to be able to use the music to draw attention to an important subject. Great job, Tom. Particularly like your playing on this; good stuff there. Keep 'em coming, Bob Buford Bob, Thanks for giving it a spin. I appreciate it, Tom

Cracking stuff Tommy, you know I always love your stuff. Very tasty Tele work (bound to catch my ear...) plus just-right vocals hammering home the issue here. And that second chord in the choruses, an inspired choice!
John John, Thank you for the meaningful review, Tom

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!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
