I imagined a "fire and brimstone" preacher confronting a crime kingpin in a smoky 1940s bar. Not sure where this song came from, but it might have been inspired by singing a Peter, Paul and Mary song, "Very Last Day" in music class in 5th and 6th grade, about 1966-68: Judgment Day You lived your life a sinner, you lived a life of crime, Your journey’s almost over, gotta make up for lost time. Now have you got religion, or any faith at all? And are you gonna be ready, when the Reaper comes to call? Your Judgment Day is coming, you can try to be your best, You can strive to change your future, and let God decide the rest. You’re a devious man, and a gamblin’ man, do you wanna call his bluff? He’s a punitive god, and a vengeful god, and you’ll find out soon enough. So you better pay attention to what I say, Or God is gonna get ya on Judgment Day. [Instrumental Break] Now have you got religion, or any faith at all? And are you gonna be ready, when the Reaper comes to call? Your Judgment Day is coming, you can try to be your best, You can strive to change your future, and let God decide the rest. So you better pay attention to what I say, Or God is gonna get ya on Judgment Day. So you better pay attention to what I say, Or God is gonna get ya on Judgment Day.

I haven't heard the tune before so it sounds original. You did a pretty darned good job with Audacity in mixing it, too, and a good selection of Band in the Box instruments. John

Super job with the BiaB backing arrangement. All the instruments sound great, especially (to me) the soloists. The tempo change at the end was a nice touch, too. If you WERE inspired by a Peter, Paul and Mary song from the mid-60s, you wouldn't be alone. Have more than a few of their songs stuck in my head, too.

I can't judge whether you sound like your inspiration (I'm a probably too young for that), but I like this song. Well done! Goldmania Bella Listen on Spotify Watch on YouTube Buy on Amazon

OP BobLMusic Apprentice B Joined: Dec 2023 Posts: 160 Georgia, USA	Thanks for the kind words, Ron! The electric guitar soloists were too modern for a 1940s song, but I was willing to be historically-incorrect in this case ;-)

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
