Warm Weather's Here This is another example of BIAB used as a sketch pad to communicate with other musicians. I wrote the song on acoustic, put the chords into BIAB with a close style, "rhthmized" it more closely to way I played it with "pushes" and sent the BIAB mix to a good friend collaborator, Phil Close--a fantastic multi-instrumentalist, drummer, "programmer", and all-round musical genius. He also used BIAB at times, but I can't remember if I sent him an .sgu or an audio mix. Phil finished the arrangement. Aside from the bass-line (provided by BIAB through hard-synth) and the acoustic guitar solo (done by a man named Cutruff--Carl, I think) Phil played, drummed, or produced the band and did the overall "Buffetization" of the song. I did the mix. Though it deserves criticism, I can't change it now. This is the result, posted here in time for Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Hey everybody come out in the streets now Hey everybody let's have a good time Bring along your cooler, there's good food to eat now Warm weather's here and we're feeling fine Until dark in the park we will walk till the path ends Until dawn on the lawn we will talk with our best friends. Hey Everybody come out in the streets now Hey everybody let's have a good time Bring along your buddies and put on the beats now Warm weather's here and we're feeling fine Rain or shine I don't mind feeling fine now that you're here In the crowd talkin' loud, feelin' proud now that you're near Hey Everybody come out in the streets now Hey everybody let's have a good time Bring along your steady and wait for the heat now that Warm weather's here and we're feeling fine Warm weather's here and we're feeling fine Warm weather's here and we're feeling fine Warm weather's here and we're feeling fine

What a fun song! We had some nasty thunderstorms here last night, that really cleaned the air and made way to an absolutely beautiful sunny, warm day here in the hill country of Texas. This song was perfect to listen to for today!

This is music at its happiest. It's got a street market vibe that is so infectious.
"Until dark in the park we will walk till the path ends
Until dawn on the lawn we will talk with our best friends." Love it.
I enjoyed the "Buffetization" of the song.
Cheers,
Mike

Hey Tangmo....
Very cool write and stridently happy vibe.
Good vocal melody that keeps you interested all the way through.
Easy rockin' rhythm.....I like it.
The mix is good even though I might have treated it a bit differently.
Well done....works as is.

Hang in there, Canadian friends! I have a friend here who describes Thailand's three seasons as "Dry and Bleedin' Hot", "Wet and Miserably Hot" and "Almost, but not quite so ******* Hot". Thanks all for the listens and comments. I'm pleased you enjoyed.

Tangmo (and Phil!)
Cool song. Very well put together. The Buffet vibe is perfectly done.
The steel drums and the horns are exceptional. An excellent mix.
Everything about this works.

Wow, this sounds great, not sure I could mix steel drums and horns with everything else so nicely. A piece to be proud of, for sure.

Tangmo, Super fun and true ethnic sounding! If I did not hear your other tunes, I would say this is straight from Barbados or Trinidad This is very typical of Putumayo label (I am a big fan of!) Thank you for sharing! Misha.

This exactly what I needed today. After a few days or rain I was outside working most of today. I grabbed a cold beer and this was the first song I had the pleasure of listening to. This was a fun song in the style of Jimmy Buffet and it took me back to the Caribbean!
Great lyrics, vocals, instrumentation and mix. Super job.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Wow - what a tune! The name of the song is true to the sound of it. A very warm and fun, catchy tune. The mix job on this is fantastic too. It flows tremendously well and that hook is such an earworm! Thanks for sharing
