A blues/jazz kind of thing. I hope you enjoy.

Realtracks for bass and the B3. I played the various guitar parts including the 'siren'. Drums provided by Logic Pro X Drummer. Djembe is an Apple loop.

The Ghost of Amy Winehouse

I went up Bogong Mountain, you won’t believe what I found there
The ghost of Amy Winehouse, pretty red flower in her hair

Her skin shone like diamonds, she sat upon a throne
A dog growled in the distance, I heard a dead man’s moan

Come over, she said quietly, and tell me what you know
I’m stuck inside a prison, she said, 1000 miles from home

I said I don’t know nothing, and that aint a lie
She looked at me kinda sad, and rain clouds filled the sky

Rain it fell for weeks, water all around
Then cows gave birth to calves, flowers filled the ground

I went up Bogong Mountain, you won’t believe what I found there
The ghost of Amy Winehouse, pretty red flower in her hair

What a tune! I love the groove and general vibe of this one. It had me swaying in my seat!

A wonderful tribute for a star taken too soon - thanks for sharing, Matcham!


Cheers,

We had never listened to her until we ran across a video of a duet with Tony Bennet. Then we explored and then we realize what we had missed and how good so much of it was.

This is a very effective package -- particularly the haunting lyric, vocal and groove. Nice guitar also and the Logic drummer did well.

We like the "connect your own dots" lyric

Really well done.

Gracias everyone. Like you Bud I feel I kinda missed the Amy phenomenon when she was around. The media storm around her struck me as tacky and it put me off. Then someone I knew asked me to learn some of her songs. Wow. Even stripped back they punch you in the belly.

Nice laid back blues with a very ethereal lyric and sound.
Very nice song. Next time I'm in Victoria I'll have a look at Mt Bogong!

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
