Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor According to Wikipedia: "Make Me a Pallet on the Floor" is a blues/folk/jazz song now considered to be a standard. The song's origins are somewhat nebulous and can be traced back to the 19th century. Various versions of the lyrics were first published in 1911. Sources attribute the modern score to W. C. Handy, who later modified it into a song known as "Atlanta Blues". Following the recording of our version of St James Infirmary, Leon suggested we do a version of the Public Domain blues song Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor. I mentioned this to Bud who said it was also Bluegrass standard. I managed to enlist some talented musicians from the forum for the project. The Band:Janice Merritt - Lead & Backing Vocals Dave Bell – Lead Guitar (Blue Attitude) Bud Merritt – Bass (thanks for coming out of “retirement” to play) I Played – Dobro, Slide and Lead Guitar And of course The PG BandBrent Mason - Acoustic Guitar Brian Fullen – Drums Mark Matejka – Electric Rhythm Guitar Chris Nole – Organ Thanks to Bud for recording Janice, his mix assistance and sourcing and arranging the lyrics, and to Dave for agreeing to play some very tasty guitar. Make Me A Pallet On Your FloorMake me a pallet on your floor Make me a pallet on your floor When I reach Atlanta and got no place to go Make me a pallet on your floor These blues are everywhere I see weary blues are everywhere I see Blues are all around me everywhere I see Nobody’s had these blues as bad as me Come on all you good time friends of mine Ooh Come on all you good time friends of mine When I had a dollar, you treated me so fine Where’d you go when I only have a dime I’d be more than satisfied To catch a greyhound bus and ride, ride when I reach Atlanta and got no place to go Won’t you make me a pallet on your floor Well make me down, make me down Right over here in the corner would be fine baby, hm Yeah, this roll-out blanket right there in Yeah, come on over baby You made me a pallet on the floor Oh, yes, you made me a pallet on the floor When I had no place to go you opened up your door And you made me a pallet on your floor Real TracksRealTracks in song: 2676:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesShuffleBrent Sw 130 RealTracks in style: ~966:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBoogieGrittyMuted Sw 140 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealDrums [in style:NashvilleShuffle^06-a:Sidestick , b:Snare, HiHat For those interested in the guitars, Dave played a Stratocaster through S-Gear Amp Sim and takes the first 16 bar solo in the middle and the 2nd 16 bars in the outro and we both play the last 16 bars. I played a Les Paul through a Line 6 Helix Amp Sim and play the slide as well as the first 16 bar lead in the outro (also played some dobro fills in the verses).

Peter is very generous to mention me in the subject line. It’s been so many years since I played that old bass fiddle that I could write my name in the dust on it. Bud

Nicely done, everyone! I love the way it starts out on acoustic guitar, and ends up an all-rocker.

As usual - it's the human elements that make BIAB shine. Excellent effort al around. The Bull Fiddle sounds well loved and well played.

Great stuff. While I'm listening to Janice I'm thinking Rita Coolidge - love those mellow tones. Impressive guitar work too!
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Ok...I don't think you're supposed to smile as I just did during a blues song. I just REALLY liked it. There was SO much I didn't see coming. It was a combination of what was being done AND how it was executed. Fantastic! The lead and backing vox were sa-weet! Those guitars I were to die for! Tasty! My goodness, those tones! Sersiouly, those tones! I could listen all day! The bass sounded awesome AND I think Bud maybe hinted at a line for a song...something about "dust so thick I could write my name in it." The man has a brilliant way with words. (Even when argueing that very statement, his phrases and word choice are spectacular ;)) Dobro, Slide, Lead guitar...I wish I had THAT sound! I could hear Bud's influence on this. That's a good thing. A VERY good thing. I expected A LOT seeing the names involved. Even with high expectations; I was blown away. Really nice job! Off to smile some more.

Fan-freaking=tastic. Folks from different hemispheres playing and singing together and sounding like you're in the same room. Janice bends those lines to her will and the guitars shine, bouyed by the RT's. Loved the traded licks at the end and the little dobro fills for taste. Never heard the song before, but I've heard the expression many times. Really, really nice.

My goodness!
What a band!
This is so good, I got completely lost in the music. Forgetting to "pay attention" to the details. Had to go back and listen again...
Everything that girl sings is gold.
Sure hope Bud keeps that bass dusted... more, more, more!!
The guitars - talkin' some smack.
Nice mix.
So good.

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."
