See See Rider The US has the strictest copyright laws in the known universe but the law was changed two years ago. Now every January 1 (Public Domain Day!) works that are 75 years old become PD. So, for 2020, songs published in 1924 are no longer copyrighted, are in the PD and artists own 100% of the rights to their arrangement. BTW, if you are interested in this year's PD entries this article lists them along with other info: 2020 PD Info To celebrate PD Day and the New Year we chose one of the new PD songs, Ma Rainey’s “See See Rider,” for an early 60’s rock arrangement. It’s been done in many styles…big band, blues, rock, R&B and more. Laverne Baker, The Animals and Mitch Ryder had hits with it. We asked Peter if he’d like to join in on guitar and, catching us completely by pleasant surprise, he sent three styles including this Chuck Berry like version. The other two were great but the Chuck track seemed to nail that early 60’s garage band feel we were aiming for (and we are big CB fans). So here’s something a bit different from our bluesy based stuff and we hope you like it. Thanks to BiaB for making this bit of fun possible! Your time to both listen and comment is always appreciated. © 2020 Public Domain B. Merritt / J. Merritt / P.

Hi there J&B plus Peter,
Well, you just can't beat a good bit of Rock&Roll.
Everything kicking and in gear with Janice's signature vocal setting the thing alight.
Great bit of guitar from Peter - that R&R style is in danger of dying out, because so few people can play it and even less are teaching it. Good to hear it done so well.
Mix sounds good, Bud, but still struggling a bit with my hearing - I've been told it can take up to six months to get completely right.
Certainly livened up my afternoon.
Cheers, ROG.

I suspected you guys might jump on this one when I saw it was due to be released to the public domain Nice take on it, I like the rock and roll approach! I've heard many versions over the years, but mostly as a blues both slow and uptempo. Man, Janice sounds great! And Peter totally nails those Chuck Berry type licks. Excellent job on the mix, Bud, sounds great through both the 'phones and the KRK's. Big smile on my face here, well done you three!

Cheers, ROG. Hey ROG, thanks for the kind remarks...and coming from a rock guy they mean even more to us. Super cool you liked Peter’s guitar. It was perfect for the song we think. Glad you are back around, love your new song and happy new year! J&B

Love a bit of a chuckle in the morning. This is fab. A VERY heavy boogie version of this song was big in Australia in the early 70s. Well done everyone.

Yep we discussed this one back in the fall I’ve been encouraging Janice to belt one out and I thought she pulled it off really well with only a couple of takes. And a big thanks for the comments on the mix. Our first all Waves production! Peter did nail those licks! J&B

Janice, Bud, and Peter,
Just freakin' killer. Love the Berry vibe--such a sweet, rocking guitar solo. Can't help but tap the foot and rock the head on this one. Very cool!
Best regards,
Deej

For me it is like a new song. I don't think I know the original or maybe I just don't recognize it.
Anyway it is a fabulous song you have recorded here, very true to the Chuck Berry style which I listened a lot to when I was a child... that is how I learned about Rock'n Roll.
The vocal is wonderful, the guitar work great... and the mix is outstanding. Just a perfect track, like so many times before from you guys!
Will

This is good and bad.
Good- I like what you guys did with that.
Bad- I hate that all my hits will not be protected in 2075.
Ooops........I have no hits..............never mind

Great version, can't go wrong with pipes like that and pro production to boot. I noticed Nessun Dorma is on the list of 2020 PD songs, any chance we'll be hearing a version of that? ; )

Hi Janice and Bud,
A very nice performed rock and roller, that's for sure! You gave the song a lot of sparks, Janice. Listened it several times, while tapping my feet 'though it was still around 10 o'clock. Must be something wrong with me, I'm afraid. I enjoyed it,
Hans

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."
