Just Me And MyselfThis is one I initially posted almost 8 years ago. I no longer have a list of the RTs but it's all BIAB except the vocal. I had a bit of a frog in my throat the first line or two. It's a Chicago Style Blues. I was gonna redo the vocal but Di said she liked it - it was "cute". Wife translation: "I like it as it is. Don't even touch it!" I guess cute is better than crappy and an unhappy wife! Thanks in advance. Alan Just Me And Myself (v1) Guess you could say I'm a loner Oh but that suits me just fine Some folks say I should mingle But I don't pay them no never mind I mind my own business Try to keep myself in line (v2) I like my independence No rules except my own Ain't no one I owe an answer No time I need to be back home I'm short on conversation I don't even have no phone CHORUS I love them pretty ladies But I don't want one all the time Friends sometimes dessert you When you're in a real tight bind Don't need nobody else Just me and my self INSTRUMENTAL VERSE (v3) Guess some people might be okay If they don't get too close But when they're headed the other way That's when I like then the most And people are all the same From East to West Coast (v4) Don't slave myself to no one And nobody owns my soul The bestest friends I ever had Was a line and a fishing pole Minding my own business That's just the way I go REPAT CHORUS (c) 2012 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Bowers, BMI

Hi Alan,
there's a lot about the year 2012 we can learn from this song:
1. You musta been a really bad boy back then 2. You could already write damn good songs 3. You sounded a lot like Dr. John (which is a huge compliment, okay?) 4. BIAB offered great possibilities already then.
Al, another song I like a lot - Di was right when she told you to keep the vocals as they were. The PSG solo fits the song like a glove - love the whole thing from A-Z.
Once again all the very best for Di and you - maybe it'll rain money every now and then, so your checkbook will start smiling again ;-)))
Taje good care of each other,
Stefan
PS... and please don't ruin your beautiful new house with fireworks tomorrow !!!!!

Alan...the correct response is "Yes, dear". She was right--perfect just as it is. After all, having a "frog in the throat" is, in itself, a reason to sing the blues, right? I liked everything about it--lyric story, rhyme scheme, blues melody, instrumentation, mix--all high quality and definitely worthy of posting. Have a great start to the New year!

Hey, froggy is fine, Alan! In fact, it's preferred on this wonderful blues tune. Fine guitar work, too. And I absoluetly love this quote from Stefan: Hi Alan,

It's great to take a look back and see those who are still around after all these years!! (and wonder about those who no longer are...)

Why would you record the vocals again ? They are great! Love the tone and texture of your voice here! Great song making the feet tap!

PS... and please don't ruin your beautiful new house with fireworks tomorrow !!!!! Hi Stefan ... Thank you very much, my friend. Bad boy? Well, maybe - sometimes! And I wrote a couple of decent songs back then. Wish I had Dr. John's bank account! And BIAB has been a terrific and important part of my life since 2011. You are much too kind. But I sincerely appreciate the support, encouragement and very kind comments over the past couple of years. You and Maha are very special friends to Di and me. But, if I had but half of your talent, I'd be twice as good as I am. I'll be sending you and Maha a PM over the weekend. Talk to you then. Only the best wishes. Alan & Di

It's always a pleasure to hear from you. Your comments are insightful and constructive. I'm glad this one lit all your buttons for things well done. That's a very nice and pleasant compliment. Many thanks! Other than "I love you", the only things I ever say to my wife are 1. "Yes. ma'am." and 2. "Would you like that today or yesterday?" Thanks again for your time and kindness. best to you in the year going forward. Alan & Di

fj Floyd ... Glad it still rings true for you. And yeah, I often think about those who were here for more than a couple of songs but haven't been back in a long time. here are a few folks I wonder about and hope they are fine: 1. Kenny Leverette (44kfl) 2. Ironbark Bob 3. Garry Presson 4. Hiroshi Kata (Hiroshik) 5. Rob and Anne-Marie (RnAM) 6. Alyn Gibson (gibson) 7. Boehm (Guenter) There are others but those are the ones who came to mind. Take care. Happy New Year! Alan & Di

I thoroughly enjoyed my listed - thought the vocals suited the instrumentation perfectly! I'm a sucker for bluesy songs and this hit the spot.
Cheers, Deryk

Yep, Night Tripper territory. A bit of Leon Russel when he was walking a tightrope too. Cool.

Yep, Night Tripper territory. A bit of Leon Russel when he was walking a tightrope too. Cool. Thanks for the very nice words. I haven't heard Leon Russel's name thrown around in a while. When I lived in Germany in the 70s and 80s, he was pretty hot topic. Very distinctive style. I'll take that analogy any day. Thanks again ... Alan

I'm late to the party but super glad I got to hear this one! You had me hooked at the intro. Di was right, your voice is perfect for this blues song. Loved everything about this one! I guess cute is better than crappy and an unhappy wife! ANYTHING is better then an unhappy wife

SUPERB. I love your voice, if only because it always, always tells a story, no matter what. I agree with your wife, haha ... don't change a thing :-) The song is top-notch, from the chord progression to the instrumentation, to the story told and to its rendition, performance, etc. . You always leave me wanting more - and with a smile on my face. Hats off.

Loved it. Hello Cap'n ... I only say two things to my wife: 1. Yes, ma'am 2. Would you like that today or yesterday? Thank you very much for your very nice comments. We older guys gotta hang in there ... I'll be 74 in a few weeks. Here's hoping 2021 takes a turn for the better. It's only a week into the new year and it's already fallen on its face. Best to you.

Hi Al-David,
Composition very well done. It's the blues that I like. And it's true you did well not to touch your voice because it lends itself well to this style.
Kindly regards Derochette alias JaniJackFalsh

You have a good voice for the blues so I can understand why you write them.

Alan, One of your best vocals on a very cool song; I don`t really believe you were a misanthrope when you wrote this, but you sing the part so well here! I was several years from showing up on this forum when you first posted this; makes me wonder about all the other gems on those back pages.

Cool, cool song. It's got a lot of drive. And I agree with the others---the vocal is fine and a keeper!
I love these lines at the end of the chorus: "Don't need nobody else/Just me and my self" Now that's a kicker!

I didn't hear it eight years ago so I was glad to catch it now. Nice and gritty bluesy tune. Lyrics fit it well as did the vocals. Good one.

Alan, Excellent resurrection. Fun blues tune! Cool, slightly detuned piano. Vocals suits well, Di was right, leave it in place! Thank you for sharing. Misha.
P.S. There are some occasional harsh artifacts, pops... Not sure if it is my soundcard, your file or how soundcloud ate it...

Hi, Al & Di !
I think this is one of your very best, if not even the best in this genré !
It really got this old goat swinging that´s for sure !
Now, both of you, have a most Happy New Year free from corona, stay safe and take care !
Wishing you all the best !
Cheers Dani
HI Dani ... Thank you so much for your very nice comments. We're most happy you enjoyed the song. We are doin g everything possible to avoid the virus. Di's doctor told her if she were to get it, she probably would not survive it. Her immune system is fully compromised, she has several other major medical issues and she's 75 years old. So, we take every precaution possible - stay home almost all the time, wear masks all the time and clean behind ourselves several times daily. Thank you for your concern! And wed hope 2021 is a fantastic year for you. Warmest regards ... Alan & DI

Duane Thank you, Duane. I've only written a hand full of blues tunes, perhaps 8 or 10, over the years. I'm delighted this comes across so nicely. Thanks for your comments - sure do appreciate them. Wishing you well in 20212. Alan & Di

Robert Hi Robert ... I am the antipathy of a misanthrope. I love being with people and joining in their fun. Typically, the more, the merrier. Similarly, xenophobia has never planted itself in my brain. SO, your assumption is square on the nose! I'm extremely happy you liked the song. Thanks for telling me. And yes, there are many wonderful musical nuggets from back then. I occasionally go back and have a listen. I'm rarely disappointed. Best to you and yours in 2021. Alan

I love these lines at the end of the chorus: "Don't need nobody else/Just me and my self" Now that's a kicker! Hi Ez ... Thank you so much for all that kindness . Sure do appreciate it! That title line came from me listening to my best friend a few years ago. He was having a little difficulty putting a new roof on his garage. I asked him is he needed a little help. His answer was: "Nope, don't need nobody else. Just me and myself will get it done." Thus, the impetus for this song. Thanks again for your nice words. Have a terrific 2021. Alan & Di

And I'm delighted this one fits up your alley. Glad you enjoyed your listen - Thanks! I was new to the Forum back then and a number of my songs didn't get a lot of attention for a while. But, it's been as real nice ride since. Thanks again for dropping in and listening. Wishing you everything good. Alan & DI

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."
