A severe stroke has left me mute and paralyzed so please forgive me if I've posted these before.

Great stuff Don,

Where did you record those songs, and what did you use for echo on vocals... Watkins Copicat?

Recorded in an untreated, very reflective spare bedroom with a $2 stick mic that was recommended to me by Greg Mackie because it had the Panasonic WM-063T element. Virtually flat across the entire audio spectrum.

Thanks for listening and especially for your encouraging comments.

Thanks for sharing Don.

I'd heard Steel Rail Blues but haven't heard "Did She Mention My Name" before now. Don Jr. has a nice version of "The Dance". I'd heard some of the John Fogarty parodies but first time I've heard him "channel" Garth.

Thanks Jim.

Actually, that's my eldest son, Gordon, not Don Junior.

I think Gordon has the best-trained voice in the family.

Donny,

These are still stored in my setlist, and played from time to time at my live gigs. They are great, almost as great as you my friend.

Take Care,

Jim,

Thanks for listening and again for your encouragement.

I noticed that you are in Oklahoma. It would be wonderful if we could meet in person one day soon.

Incidentally, my dear friend Danny Campo is planning to visit me (for the 5th time) and entertain we old phartz in my nursing home. Both Danny (and his lovely wife Linda) and I would love to meet you. He drives all the way from Louisiana to entertain us all for free. A highly treasured friend.

Thanks for sharing Don smile You did a tremendous job on these! How long ago were they recorded if you don't mind my asking? They have a certain "old-school" quality, so I'm curious.

Regardless - really nice work on them. Your son's song here is really nice too!


Cheers,
Deryk

Deryk,

My stroke was in 2001 so I'm guessing late 2000 or thereabouts. I hadn't started into BIAB yet although I had my first version. If memory serves, it came on about eight (8) 3.5" disks.

Soon thereafter I submitted a BIAB tune and won a competition with my "A Summer Breeze." They wanted a tune with a Summer theme.

Thanks for sharing that - I really like that tune! Very gentle, and very calming. Also interesting to know you've been using the program that long - had no idea!

I haven't posted here in a very long time but felt compelled to do so in response to your post. What a beautiful voice, Don, sounds like you've mastered your instrument. I really don't know much about your situation but I gather that you've had a stroke and are somewhat disabled? If that's the case, it's wonderful that you were able to capture your music before it happened.


Just one comment, my humble opinion. You don't need all of that reverb. In fact, your voice should be more "in front", if you know what I mean. Hey, Lightfoot's got nothing over you, friend. Really, REALLY nice job.

Thanks, IK.

I think that the heavy reverb is a result of a highly reflective and untreated room.

Thanks for listening and for your generous comments.

If anything can be learned from this, it would be: Record everything possible, you never know when it will be suddenly taken away from you.

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."
