Well, February is nearly over and I am still a few songs short of a picnic. (I still have this weekend though so there is a chance  ). I thought I would post all the songs in one thread so please feel free to listen to anything that takes your fancy. During this FAWM I did not focus too much on production. I just used the Band-in-a-Box style straight "out of the box" with no arranging (except the Symphony of Diversity song). Lyrics are on the song itself within FAWM. All songs use Band-in-a-Box. Most songs took about an hour to produce (including the harmonies) Comments are most welcome. 1. How to Win Games with SrCoops This was a fun write about winning at sports. The style is STHRKJN.STY (Southern Rock Swing w/ Piano) 2. Love with Liz Petty This was a quirky love song with some fun lyrics from Liz about how you can love someone who is completely different to you. The style is _BGPG_B.STY (Bouncy Country Pop) 3. We're in the Moment So Iove with Cindy Prince A beautiful set of lyrics from Cindy, lent themselves perfectly to a county waltz. Style is _OLDWALZ.STY (Old Time Fast Waltz w Mando Solo) 4. Symphony of Diversity with Liz Petty. I had a huge amount of fun with MIDI and Dimension PRO generating tracks for all the different instruments mentioned in these wonderful lyrics from Liz. Style is _HALLSTQ.STY (Pop Hall String Quartet) 5. This Could Be Forever with Arthur Rossi. Arthur always writes interesting slightly edgy lyrics and this was no exception. A love song with a difference. Style is _EAGL_PS.STY (Midtempo Country) 6. All Alone Again with Cindy Prince. Cindy is the master of the unrequited love song. This one was, apparently, autobiographical for her. Style is _QUASAR.STY (Quasar Minimal Modern Pop Ballad) 7. Abandoned Home with Cindy Prince. The classic haunted home story. Written in a minor key, I tried to make this as "spooky" as I could but not sure I achieved this. Style is _BREATH.STY (Breath Celtic Pop Ballad) 8. Spring Song with Kristin Chambers.A fun upbeat ditty about Spring, Hope and Moving on. Style is _CMPFMF2.STY (Campfire, Medium Fingerpicking &) 9. Turn the Tide. This song was in response to a challenge to write a song about a good news story.I love good news songs so I wrote this one based on a story about a guy who was a hairstylist and during the pandemic just went out and gave haircuts to homeless people. He ended up starting a whole movement. 10. There are things we can't measure with Bill Loryman. This is a classic country love song. Style is _ACCNTRY.STY (Acoustic Country w/ Pedal Steel)
