It has been a while since I posted any songs on the forum but I have been recording music and using Band-in-a-Box as my primary creative tool for a long time now. Here is one example of the many songs I've written over the years using BnB: Let's Make LoveIt's supposed to be a Buddy Holly type song for aging Boomers. I'm still using the 2012 version of BnB. I used: Toby Nash Rock w/Res guitar 120 BPM Real drums Real bass Real guitar Real strings I also played my own Big Baby Taylor acoustic guitar and I played some keys using my Yamaha PSRE403. I sang the vocal through a SP1 mic into Mixcraft 5, via Cl1 interface. Thanks for any listens and comments. It's good to be back! Let's Make Love
I know they don't teach in school How to live the Golden Rule But we're older and we know Now's the time for letting go
Ew we Ew we Ew we Come on let's make love
Do you hear the ticking clock? It's not slow and it won't stop I'm right here and you're right there No one's looking, no one cares
Ew we Ew we Ew we Come on let's make love
I will say Loved the ride So glad You're by my side
Play those classic 45's We're still kicking, still alive Hold me close now, hold me tight Right on through this summer night
Ew we Ew we Ew we Come on let's make love Come on let's make love Come on let's make love Come on let's make love

jpt,
Well put together. Good use of the BAND. Well mixed. Good vocal.
It does have the feel of the Holly era.

Creative song!! It is very effective to have the notes on the beat, particularly with a song like this with a simple message! I hear some Beatles in here!! Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

Definitely has a 60s vibe to it. Love the sound overall.

With the backed off vocal and strong acoustic guitar it sounds like it'd fit into the Buddy'n'Bob era.

Hello, 'jpt x 3' !!! You know what was the first thought that occurred to me while listening to Let's Make Love ??? That it had an 'innocent' sound, meaning that the feelings and sentiments expressed in your lyrics were refreshing, void of associations to the more carnal, or physical aspects of making love. The song could be a selection for a high school prom -- it's that simply romantic. The way you sang it was charmingly straightforward. And the lyrics ??? Well, they were just as cute as they could be: "Hold me close now, hold me tight Right on through this summer night"Those two lines possess a quality that could be described as 'dreamy', as they express the simple, yet rapturous pleasures of two people being smitten with each other. I could hear 'Paul and Paula', an early 60's boy-girl singing duo, crooning the song to teenagers dancers at a high school gym. It's lovely song, really, a very nostalgic thing to listen to. LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

Hi jpt,
You managed to capture that Buddy Holly feel really well. I'm impressed. This was an excellent listen... engaging from start to end.
It's two thumbs up from me!
All the best, Noel
