"its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart"
Ain't that the truth!
Had to listen several times - just for the pure pleasure of it... it's like listen to a Talking Heads piece.
Enjoyed it. Thoroughly.
(Good mix! Cool rockin' at the end!)
floyd TALKING HEADS!!! NOW that IS a great compliment, thank you  From listening to your works I can see/hear that BIAB has become part of your soul BIAB Addiction is a state characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli.  Thanks, as always for listening and commenting Alyn

Another great tune by the ALWAYS creative, ALWAYS fun, and ALWAYS engaging "Gibson"!! Never fail to get a kick out of your stuff- funny, sad, crazy, or all at once, ALWAYS GREAT! Really enjoyed this tribute to the wonderful world of BIAB! Take care. Greg Cheers Greg, that was a lovely piece of writing But as I say here, and to my friends in the real world, BIAB is one hell of a program. As also shown by YOUR works!! thanks for listening Alyn

Where would we be without a 3 am?
Not many can put life and its wicked pleasures into a song like you do. This is a good one and probably universal feelings to all us BIAB addicts.

Alyn,
Another classic! Loved it. Sounds like it could have been recorded by John Lennon around 1970 - Excellent!

Very inventive song.
I agree about band in a box, a program that surely has allowed many of us to express creativity in a different way.
I like your sound. Great final too.
Sergio
Thank you Sergio, isn't BIAB an incredible program allowing such a varied selection of music to be produced. Glad you liked the song  All the best Alyn

Alyn,
I like your style very much. I may call it 'gibson style'?
I enjoyed the song. It recalled me White Album of the Beatles though I do not know why.
Hiroshi Hiroshi, Thank you, I return the compliment about your style of music, glad you like gibsonology It has been written before that I have a Beatlish vibe and appreciate the comparison to the White Album All the best, thanks for listening Alyn

Alyn,
There's absolutely no-one I know who writes so well with such freedom that you do! I always learn when I listen to your creations.
Loved it!
Noel thank you Noel. We write so differently but I read your posts and learn from you also  This is another beauty of BIAB; the forums are a great place to learn from musicians writing and playing totally different styles of music. Glad you enjoyed it !! Alyn

Alan, Your songs always draw me in. I'm always looking around the next corner to see what surprises you've cooked up. It's always an adventure to take a trip inside Gibsonland! Although you have developed your own style , it is always filled with new and refreshing ideas. I liked it. Tom Tom stated it very well.... Gibsonland, "your own style" and "new and refreshing" We very much enjoyed the write, the vocals and the production. Just perusing through your choice of RT's is a showcase in expanding the boundaries of BiaB. Don't get hung up on styles and explore the whole catalog for your idea "band." There are a lot of gems in BiaB that when properly introduced really work well together and you certainly seem be introducing some to one another. Kudos! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Hi Alyn.
This has "Alyn" stamped right through it, though perhaps with a little Talking Heads, as Floyd said and maybe just a touch of Jonathan Richman in there as well.
Strange mix of acoustic rhythm with Hammond, but which seemed to work well. I loved the harmony and the big finish.
Another classic.

Alyn,
I almost missed this one. I agree with Bob, sounds like something John Lennon could've done. Thoroughly enjoyed it and brought a big smile to my face. Best regards to the Flab Four too.

Just a quick thanks to all those that have commented recently.
I have just been discharged from hospital as I, as Dani, have had pneumonia.
Thanks to amazing coincidences so much about my medical destruction 18 years ago has been uncovered during my stay that I have also lost interest in music. I have had my faith in hospital doctors restored, but I have lost all faith in welsh society thanks to the privilege of secret societies
Thanks to all my cyber friends on here.
I may be back, who knows?
Alyn

Alyn,
I always look forward to listening to any of your posts, because I know they are going to be quirky (in a good way), innovative and creative. This is no exception. Great job! Good rock n' roll anthem!
