Beautiful story with strong imagery, you have really created a timeless atmosphere, refreshing subject in the middle of subjects like wars and relationship troubles. Excellent vocals and backing vocals are a treat. Nice peaceful arrangement, mix and Peter's moody guitar respect the deceased elegantly.
Janne Thank you for such an eloquent response. Your time time to listen and write that is greatly appreciated! J&B

Very nice.
This does a great job of telling a story and painting a picture.
Janice's vocal & harmonies shine with feeling and soul! Peter's guitar parts are very tasteful and the mix is good as well.
If I had one nitpick it would be the snare... I think it has a synthetic (electronic) tone that's not working for me, I guess I would prefer a more traditional snare sound. that being said, this is still some fine work!
Well Done!
Greg Thank you Greg! We are glad you enjoyed it. Regarding the snare it came from the Nashville RD that I used via cutting it from the respective audio file. I put a little tape sat on it and a room reverb. Nothing else. Ironically I was trying for only an enhanced version of the traditional RD snare. I’ll listen again particularly to the SC version to see if it sound different there. Thanks for the feedback. J&B

Hey You Three ...
What a fabulous song and delivery. With Janice's soulful vocals (that lady was God-gifted with an uncanny ability to sing the passion of the human soul), Peter's perfect guitar, and Bud' magical knob-twisting, there's no chance this wouldn't be a masterpiece. So well executed, my friends!
I, too, have a passion for American History. I've made many trips to southwestern Virginia, East Tennessee, Hardin County Kentucky, all of Southern Indiana and just about everywhere in Missouri doing family research. Have line back to 1506! But my David line ends in Lee County Virginia - completely disappears in 1794. Oh well, keep looking. But, it has allowed me to learn so much more of the local histories of those places. I'm guessing I've visited at least 150 cemeteries since I began my quest in 1989. Some headstones go back to the early 1700s.
Anyway, I smiled all the way through this. Thanks for a fabulous listen! Best to both of you ...
Alan Thank you Al for the every word you said about the song. And thanks for sharing your ancestry story. I (Bud) learned a lot about my fraternal line but later my DNA testing took it on another journey. Those dern “paternal events!”  Another beautiful song. Janice's vocals and harmonies were excellent. Peters guitar was so delicate. Perfect for the song. Bus as usual your mastery at the console to the song to such a pro level, Well done. Thanks Scott. It took a while to get the lyric but things came together quickly after that. We appreciate your support! J&b

Janice&Bud and Peter,
The intro piano is a great start to this song.
Janice's great vocals and harmonies are pulling this song really well throughout.
I think it's a very pop and good song.
Peter's guitar is very tasty.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you and special thanks for mentioning the piano! J&B

'Are they true even written in stone?' What a nice line - one of many. Exquisitely sung as always and the harmonies are wonderful. Tech stuff is masterful and Peter's guitar complements the song beautifully. Another gem to add to an already sparkling collection.
Regards,
Leon Leon, thank you for the kind remarks. We much appreciate you mentioning the lyric especially given how much we admire your writes. J&B Lovely song, great production and of course, great singing. It reminds me of the war graves here in Hong Kong. It was British, Canadian and Indian troops along with the Auxiliary Defence Units and Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps (HKVDC) that fought from 8–25 December 1941 to try to hold the British Colony from the Japanese. I just read it was the same day as Pearl Harbour and also a surprise attack. Many young Canadians buried here. Several injured troops and nurses slaughtered in the Stanley hospital among various other atrocities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hong_KongGlad you liked it! We are always interested in history. Thanks for sharing and also for the link. We’ve read WWII history as both of our fathers served during it. J&B Excellent song/arrangement.
Great idea for a a song... love the lyrics and vocal delivery.
Nice production too. Guitar playin' was extra fine...
Well done.
Thanks for the time to listen and write that … much appreciated! J&B

This is a such a thoughtfully written and thought provoking song.
Very pretty The three of you sure make a good team.
Josie Thank you Josie!!! J&B Hi, Bud, Janice and Peter !
What a wonderful co-op !
Janice is as good as ever,
Peter´s guitar sounds great and Bud´s mix
shows what a pro combo this is !
You, know, me and my wife used to
do something akin to your graveyard
trips as we drove around in the
Northern countries searching for
old Viking graves and gravetips
as well as runestones etc. !
That was really long ago, but your
tune awoke those memories in me again !
What an adventurous time it was !
Thank you for your masterpiece
and interesting story !
Cheers
Dani
Thanks Dani, glad you liked it and that it evoked memories. BTW, Bud is of Viking ancestry according to DNA testing years ago. It was quite a surprise to find that most of his distant ancestors are Scandinavian! Thanks again! J&B Janice, Bud & Peter,
A work of sonic art... Beautiful in every aspect.
Bob Thank you Bob! J&B

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."
