This quick and dirty song by PSR was recorded and mixed in three hours. It tells the story of a very close friend from St. Regis Falls NY who went with a friend to close up his cabin in the woods and discovered the front window was broken. At first he thought it was a bear however as he was looking in he saw a gun pointed at him from someone who was coming down the stairs from the cabin’s loft. He and his friend started running. The man, a man wanted in California, started shooting at them, blowing out the windows of our friend’s truck. Fortunately they ran to a family members cabin and called the police. After a shoot out with the cops the man surrendered. With our friends help he was convicted and is currently in jail awaiting extradition to California. Fortunately no one was hurt during this ordeal.

The neat thing is just about everyone up in St. Regis Falls has a nickname. Our friend’s nickname is BootLip; don’t ask, I don’t know how they get their nicknames! Bootlip’s friend is called Bugger! Bugger did yell run Bootlip run!

Now Bootlip is one fantastic guy and jokester. I met him, as well as all the others, for the first time last spring. He had me in stitches immediately. He is just one fun loving individual. That is why we had no problems doing a song like this about his horrific experience.

Also note that St. Regis Falls is an extremely small town; one bar called the RiverSide, one convenience store and gas station, one small diner and a couple of churches. Now don’t get me wrong as the people are fantastic, however the town made me think of “Mayberry” and hence the Barney Fife parts!

We played nothing on this song. This song was generated in Band-in-a-Box using the DOCBD_F style, Med Bluegrass w/fiddle, and the RealTracks that go with that style. SteveS is singing the lead and BobH is singing the lower harmony.

We hope you like it- PSR

Thanx a lot for the kind words Bob and Jim.

This was a personal song that we made and shipped up to a friend of Bootlips. I’m sure it will end up on the CD player at the Riverside!

Good one. 'Convoy' and 'Rubber Duck' and all the rest of the gang comes to mind.

Laugh out loud funny! So creative using the clips and I liked the way you did the vocals and music too. You really captured the story and made it entertaining.

Great job all around Mario and PSR.

Inspired! Dare I say it... a blast!

I love the steps running across the stereo field.

Now I've got this image of image of Rankin/Bass-style Animagic characters running through my head, along with long-suppressed memories of The Apple Dumpling Gang. I'll be sending you my psychiatrist's bill, thank you very much.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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."
