Hi All, Here's something folky and mellow for my last song of the year. This is called Looks Like Snow. Saw a red fox run by the wood shed today The morning light made his coat look gray He caught my eye as he went below As if to say it looks like snow Heard the wind last night blow through the eves Rattle the pines and bend all the trees The river runs but it’s running low The weather guy says it looks like snow I let the faucet drip like a grandfather clock Only 8 degrees it’s too cold for a walk Our Navajo blanket and a murder of crows Tell me tonight that it looks like snow You moved in the spring with the fields still brown The lights went dark all over our town Yeah the light and the dark like partners in crime Keep the days and the nights frozen in time Saw a message this morning 5:02am I wrote you back but didn’t press send The moon is still up and the fox laying low I’ll come back later cause it looks like snow Na, na, na, na, na, na, na BIAB Tracks: 0700: Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotes Ev 085 3912: Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm Ev16 085 3697: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm, Ballad Ev 085 RealDrums: Mallets and Cajon As always - thanks for listening!

Bob, this is beautiful! Very evocative lyrics...I got a bit of a chill while listening. Those BiaB tracks sound very natural and you sing it with real feeling. Great tune, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas! Ron

Bob,
You are one of the best lyricists I've ever had a chance to listen to. You're a word magician, my friend. Just marvelous. And I like that you have brought your vocal a little more forward than you typically do. I'd type more, but I'm all out of superlatives. I could listen to your stuff forever.
Merry Christmas,
Alan

Mellow folk are my kind o' folk. AND you always write such wonderful songs with them in mind. Only a special song composed and recorded by a special talent could be presented so stripped of all the glitter. Extraordinary lyrics paint the picture that goes so well with this wonderful tune, Bob. Merry Christmas to you, and now I await your first song of '24.

Quality Song Writing.
Might be your best ever. And That is Saying a Lot.
Quality Production.
Just the Right Band. Like y'all have been doing this for decades.
Quality Vocal.
You make it sound like these thoughts just naturally flow from your brain as you play the guitar.
This is a real gem.

Very well put together and VERY well written. I do a lot of 15 track BIB/Studio One walls of sound but sometimes less is really more and this song proves it. I loved it.

I like that it's stripped down, Bob.
There's a lot depending on the lyric here and it works well.
One thing I was wanting to hear was a couple of bars of reflective instrumental break between 1st. and 2nd. verses.
Another good one.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your song Robert. The simple musical arrangement and thoughtful choice of instrumentation provide the perfect backing
for your vocal, and allow the lyrics to come right to the fore.
As for the lyrics themselves, I feel as though I'm there with you as you're describing those scenes. It's clear that the lyrics are what you wanted the listener to
focus on and you definitely succeeded with me. They are vivid and engaging. In fact, they compelled me to play the song twice.

I love the production, it sounds like you're sitting around making music with a bunch of buddies. It all sounds so natural. And, needless to say, how effortless the lyrics sound.

Bob, your best to date IMHO.
Outstanding vocal with the perfect backing band, i.e. less is more.
The mix is perfect.
I could see John Prine doing this one, only not as good as the way you did it.
Loved it.

rsdean,
Great mellow folk!
The lyrics are also great.
The singing style is also perfect for this song.
Although the accompaniment is simple, the acoustic guitar is used very effectively, enlivening the mood of this song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Bob,
Good one to end the year with. Ha, my Momgas a fox living under her shed from time to time, so love that first line. Imagery is excellent in this write. You can see it all. Great atmosphere, accentuated by a great vocal and crisp production. Excellent!
Oh, and love that “na na na” fade out.

I pondered "red fox" before finding out that they aren't all read and even those that aren't aren't that way all of the time.The learning continues.
Lovely song, well presented.
Cheers

A really lovely song and I particularly [*****] the sound of those guitars. Like DC Ron said, they come across as natural, so I was surprised they were BiaB.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Nice, Bob! Consider moving the stanza with the melodic lift to be the third stanza; rules are made to break, of course, but sticking to the rule of two may be warranted since this is a slower piece. Good lyrics with some cool furniture!

"I let the faucet drip like a grandfather clock
Only 8 degrees it’s too cold for a walk
Our Navajo blanket and a murder of crows
Tell me tonight that it looks like snow"
Terrific imagery!
You have such a wonderful conversational tone in so many songs and often we’re reminded of Lucinda Williams.
The vocal change at the “spring” verse was very effective in bringing to mind the vivid scenery change.
The outro “na na’s” were great too.
Perfect band for the lyric.
Merry Christmas!

Hi Bob,
What a wonderful song you made!
The lyrics are beautiful. I really like the picture you've painted in there.
And man, what a nice play on the guitar. Very nice to listen to.
I read that someone considered it to be one of your best songs.
I always hesitate to use those words. Especially since you have so many good songs.
But I do think this one belongs high on the list!
I wish you very happy days and until 2024,
Hans

Mellow like slowly falling snowflakes. Very nice imagery in the story.
What a pleasure to listen to your voice, the whole wide range.
The instrumentation supports the vocal very naturally, the percussions work perfectly.
Your recognizable style is warmly present, but still this has something new and magical that warms even more.

Beautiful song Bob. Wonderful imagery in your lyrics. We are lucky to live on the edge of a forest. See wildlife all the time. Super vocal and lyric..

Bob, Very neat winter tune. Very good vocals. I read lyrics first and first verses... I though I was reading Shel Silverstein  (Please take it as a complement) Clear mix and listens very well. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Bob, I could have sworn that I replied to this a long time ago.
Hmmmmmm.
Well anyway man this is another classic and I really really love the sound of those guitars. I copied this style to use it myself, this sounds wonderful.

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!

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."
