Thanks floydjane for the feedback; I am now up to 15 of 50 songs. This song is from a challenge called the More Cowbell challenge in which the goal was to use a cowbell sound. I will never be able to get the SNL skit "More Cowbell out of my head; every time I hear a cowbell, I think about that skit. I use a $20.00 dynamic mic instead of using my cardiod. So I wrote this song. I did use all Band in a Box instrument tracks; the cowbell is from Reason. Here is link to song #15 *Vocal More CowbellThe other 14 are here Here is link to song #14 *Instrumental Band of AngelsHere is link to song #13 *Vocal Bored HappenedHere is link to song #12 *Vocal Junkyard Dog Named BettyHere is link to song #11 *Vocal VertigoHere is link to song #10 *Instrumental Alluring FlameHere is link to song #9 *Instrumental Blowin' In The WindHere is link to song #8 *Vocal Give Me RestHere is link to song #7 * Instrumental Blues CountryHere is link to song #6 *Instrumental RestHere is link to song #5 *Vocal Run and Don't Look BackHere is link to song #4 *Vocal I Will Give Honor To My KingHere is Link to song #3 *Instrumental Skippin'Here is Link to Song #2 *Vocal Daddie Going HomeHere is Link to Song #1 *Instrumental Guitar CHAOS

Song 16 of 50 is a shorty that I programmed using Cubase. I had never used the midi program feature in Cubase, although I have played a midi instrument through it. So today I decided to program a song in it. The drums are from the stock Halion that comes in Cubase; the guitar chords, and the plunky guitar notes are from a free software synth called ping; I also use the mda piano which is another free instrument plugin. I was just messing around with all of the instrument plugins and just like the sound of these 2. Here is a link Lead FootSong 1-15 are below Here is link to song #15 *Vocal More CowbellHere is link to song #14 *Instrumental Band of AngelsHere is link to song #13 *Vocal Bored HappenedHere is link to song #12 *Vocal Junkyard Dog Named BettyHere is link to song #11 *Vocal VertigoHere is link to song #10 *Instrumental Alluring FlameHere is link to song #9 *Instrumental Blowin' In The WindHere is link to song #8 *Vocal Give Me RestHere is link to song #7 * Instrumental Blues CountryHere is link to song #6 *Instrumental RestHere is link to song #5 *Vocal Run and Don't Look BackHere is link to song #4 *Vocal I Will Give Honor To My KingHere is Link to song #3 *Instrumental Skippin'Here is Link to Song #2 *Vocal Daddie Going HomeHere is Link to Song #1 *Instrumental Guitar CHAOS

Thanks Janice & Bud and boehm for the feedback! Song 19 I used the melodist on Band in a Box; I tweaked a few of the settings; giving it a little lead way to create some unique chordings. I ended up using the B section totally; the A sections I went in and changed the main chords to 5 chords as the song sounded more jazz than rock originally. I was really impressed at how well Band in a Box is able to put together a chord progression that worked so well. The rest was just arranging the realtracks they are: 387 Bass 1856 Cello RDrums=Rock Thrash halftime Ev 16^1 clh,clr 639 guitar 642 guitar Here is link to song #19 *Instrumental Classical & Rock Had A BabyHere are 18 thru 1 Here is link to song #18 *Instrumental Ode To PianoHere is link to song #17 *Vocal My Baby Left Me For The PostmanHere is link to song #16 *Instrumental Lead FootHere is link to song #15 *Vocal More CowbellHere is link to song #14 *Instrumental Band of AngelsHere is link to song #13 *Vocal Bored HappenedHere is link to song #12 *Vocal Junkyard Dog Named BettyHere is link to song #11 *Vocal VertigoHere is link to song #10 *Instrumental Alluring FlameHere is link to song #9 *Instrumental Blowin' In The WindHere is link to song #8 *Vocal Give Me RestHere is link to song #7 * Instrumental Blues CountryHere is link to song #6 *Instrumental RestHere is link to song #5 *Vocal Run and Don't Look BackHere is link to song #4 *Vocal I Will Give Honor To My KingHere is Link to song #3 *Instrumental Skippin'Here is Link to Song #2 *Vocal Daddies Going HomeHere is Link to Song #1 *Instrumental Guitar CHAOS

HI Robert ...
We listened to "More Cowbell". Thought it was funny as heck. I remember that SNL spot, but Di doesn't ... she wasn't an SNL fan.
Pretty danged cool ... fun listen and nicely done. Very creative!

Hi Robert. I see you are almost half way. Am jealous. Enjoyed the lyrical 'Encountering Beautiful'. Definitely a theatrical almost Gilbert and Sullivan quality there. Congratulations on your quality and variety of songs. Cheers.

Hey PgFantastic! I don't know if I have hit any of your tunes over at 50/90 -- it looks like you have been busy. I'll stop by over there and comment on a couple.
I have actually used BIAB on two of my tunes, maybe I should post them here when I get the chance. I used BIAB as a "tag".
EDIT: How embarrassing -- I have commented on two of your songs, oops!

I know what you mean kemmrich; 5090 is so fast paced; it's hard to remember what songs you've commented on; i'm glad they have them highlighted so it is easy to find wants you get to a person site. Here is song 24 of 50 simply titled Maggie; do not ask me where this title came from; or how I ended up with the lyrics to it. I was just doodlin on my guitar and the name Maggie popped in my head; then the old outlaw westerns came to mind. This is the first song I have ever written where I did not know the motivation in writing it LOL. I used some tips from the reverb ? I had let me know if the verb sounds ok on Maggie, please; thanks! All comments are welcome. here is link to song #24 *vocal MaggieBelow is 23-1 Here is link to song #23 *vocal 50 First DatesHere is link to song #22 *Vocal
