Really glad that you joined the BIAB crowd. I had a feeling you would be right for it...

Looking forward to all that is to come...

Hey Floyd,

Really appreciate your help on this one and glad to be here on forums. I do remember Gino’s btw, but I can’t say I went there a lot. In Cherry Hill, my restaurant of choice for some late night fries with cheese and gravy was Ponzios Diner. They are still around. I graduated Cherry Hill East High School in 81, so I cant say I was a frequent club goer st that time, though WMMR, 93.3 was indeed the bomb. I had the cassette deck ready to go every time a Springsteen show was being broadcast live! Michael Tearson had my attention much of the time. Philly and South Jersey also had some good radio at 94.1 WYSP and 102.5 (WIOQ) with Ed Sciaky. I am not familiar with STARS, but used to see concerts all the time at The Tower Theatre in Upper Darby and The Main Point in Bryan Mawr. Every once in awhile, we could catch a show at The Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, as well. It is gone now. Back then there were some great local acts that were either on the verge of breaking big or actually did. I was lucky enough to catch The Hooters early on, as well as The A’s, Robert Hazard & The Heroes, John Eddie (then John Eddie and The Front Street Runners),etc. Good times for sure! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Thank you much Mario. I appreciate the listen and comments.

Dave,

What Peter said...and I`ll add that the details in the lyrics are cool - I think I know a bit more about Vegas now!
Well done to both you and Floyd.

Robert

Thank you much for giving this a spin Robert. Appreciate the comments.

Glad Floyd found you and got you hooked on BIAB. You have been churning out some great stuff. Your songs have a lot of passion and energy.

Definitely getting those Boss vibes - very reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen, which is always a good thing in my books. I love the progressions, and your vocals and the lyrics are phenomenal. Not to mention, the mix is clear and professional sounding. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio.

You should be proud of this one thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Nailed!!

We've never spent 7 seconds in Vegas but, wow, does that lyric ever grab you. The imagery is outstanding...very visual.

You are a roll. Every here is high bar. The mix sounds excellent and ALL the performances are top notch.

As Peter said, "A really pro sounding piece of work all round." Yep!!

Kudos!

J&B



Thx J & B,

7 seconds in Vegas is a whole lot safer than 7 days. smile

Thx Bob for giving this a spin. I was very lucky to have Floyd agree to sing backup on this one. Needless to say he brought it to another level for sure.

Dave, this one really rocks! The piano on the first part and the outro is a nice touch. Excellent vocal and floyd’s bg vocals are just right. The drums sound super. Nice solo. Very well done and I look forward to following you. Tom

It held my interest from beginning to end

a great write, some super imagery

a very Bruce sounding "Seven Days In Vegas" line

loved the arrangement and overall sound

I would've changed the lines

There's only crap
Where I once stood

but it certainly conveys the down and out assessment of the character

and the thing is that you have a fleshed-out character that's relatable

that's more than 99% of songwriters do or maybe even understand.

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."
