The slide guitar is me btw The colour of October (I'm only barely surviving) Every day of my life I see your face in every stranger And it hurts me when I think That I never saw the danger Every night you're in my dreams I guess that's not really surprising As October leaves hold on I'm only barely surviving All the music in the summer played for us And the words drew a vivid tattoo But I always seemed to be leaving you And the rabbits, they've gone too Well I'll wait for you now With wishes and expectations And I hope maybe one day We'll encounter the right situation Even now you're in my dreams I guess that's not really surprising As October leaves are falling I'm only barely surviving. © S W Jones Oct 22nd-23rd 1978 Updated 2021 Style is _MARTIAN.STY (Martian Old British Folk Rock) RealTracks in style: 2903:Bass, Acoustic, BluesyPopByron Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 3361:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BritClassicRock70sHeld Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 2935:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkPulse8thsFintan Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 2930:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock8thsBrent Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 416:Sax, Tenor, HipHop Rock Sw 100 (Bluesy) RealDrums [in style:Rock90s with Cowbell [Multi]

Then again I like the arrangement except for the sax. Your vocal melody is good and the vocal probably is too but, man, you bury your vocals in more FX than I...and I'm a REAL undertaker. Cowbell, well, all jokes aside, it works. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

To really nitpick many of the last notes in some of the phrases that the sax played sounded cut off. They just stopped. Trailing off in volume would make them sound much better IMHO. Note that this is just my opinion and others may not agree. I really liked this song. Last edited by MarioD; 08/23/21 01:41 PM.

It's an interesting combination of instrumentation and I would have to listen a few more times before I would say if it all works for me or not! Overall a pretty good tune! Thanks, Torrey

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
