Appreciate all the kind words about the last song I posted.
For this one, I used the realstyle Leaf Celtic Songwriter Trio as a base. Added cello, strings, electric guitars (2448 and 3230). Also replaced the 12-string acoustic with 3057 acoustic fingerpicking.
Vocals & mix in Logic Pro X.

This is fantastic! I liked everything about this. Your vocal was outstanding. Your backing tracks and mix are super also. I really like your lyrics.

This is a great song.

There's a clunky chord change at 11 seconds.
Lovely vocal and narrative.
Your voice sits in a very intimate place within the mix and should get a little attention to plosives and essing to enhance that.


Cheers

Roger, I liked everything about this! I think this is the first song of yours that I've had the pleasure of listening to, and I'm glad to know you through it!

One thought I had as I was listening is that your southern accent helps you make some Rhymes that, in my Yankee accent, would never fly, like "on" and "drawn...

It was a very peaceful song and, taking the message in your lyric, I figure you live a pretty peaceful life as well. Thanks for posting!

Appreciate the feedback....however, there is no chord change at 11 seconds. The song begins with 6 consecutive bars of the same chord - after listening a few times, I'm not quite sure what it is you're referring to.

I really enjoyed this song. Another solid write, arrangement, production and performance. A side note. I let your channel continue playing as I wrote my comments and your song "I've been colder" came on. The song title reminded me of actor/singer Sheb Wooley's alter ego 'Ben Colder' he used specifically to record parodies of country hits throughout his career. He told the story and joked how he introduced himself - "Ben Colder here." and once received the response, "ain't been no colder here than anywhere else." Second side note. My wife really likes and enjoys "She Couldn't Care Less".

Thanks Charlie. I actually got to spend a decent amount of time with Sheb when I first moved to Nashville in the early 80s. Always got a kick out of the Ben Colder stuff.
Appreciate the kind words, hope you and yours are healthy, happy & safe.

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
