Here's an original Christmas song entitled " Christmas Cat ". technical information: Melody, instrumentation, and arrangement were created in Biab using VSC-DXI. Audio tracks were recorded and combined with the MIDI tracks in PowerTracks. Sound Forge and Melodyne were also employed in the production. Final compressed wave file created with the lowly Sound Recorder of Window's Xp. If you are interested, you can also find a few other Christmas tunes by clicking "More Songs" at the bottom of the page. Each one of these compositions started life in Biab. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas
Jim

The only thing that can kill me in short order is a cat. So I eschew them. Severe almost instant asthma. Except for a few, my son has one that's on it's last legs (thank god) and can't get upstairs. I don't get the logic of housing an animal that defecates in your house. And you get to buy stuff for poo and then you get to clean it up. Jeez.
Please don't do one about a border collie. Mine has gone to the big dog house in the sky, or become a cricket if I'm a Buddhist today. He was yipping on about nirvana. That dog cracked everyone up, he said hello when you came in the door. Literally. It was a yawn with the word, but he did it every time.
I digress, Cats. Achoo. Eschew. No thanks. Wait! do they taste like crock e dial? Cause those taste like chicken. Yum. Meow.
Nice deal tres drole.

Whoops was that a criticism or a witticism or better yet, both?

Another point where the MIDI-only BIAB camp retains clear superiority. Cowbell is part of the General MIDI specs (instrument 56), and yet even with the 2011 release, PG Music has thoughtlessly failed to provide us with a Cowbell RealTrack.
The harmony is refreshingly different, and the guitar instrumental reminded me of my halcyon days of youth spent at the local arcade listening to the Bubble Bobble theme song.
One small criticism - a trifle so minor that I hesitate to draw to your attention. You've carefully crafted a song strongly rooted in reality with elements including Santa and a magical cat - and then expect your listener to believe that a man would - on his own, without compelling motivation - RTFM? Such a suspension of disbelief for such an unusual element of this magnitude would require at least a couplet, if not a quatrain, setting out the emotional turmoil the singer experienced which lead to such an atypical action.

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that that never RTFM
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
Wow...my mind is a clutter....

Move over Raffi! Beautiful singalong, loved it. A manual? Never entered my mind but a nice twist. I think you covered the RTFM (had to look it up on the net ) issue well. Merry Christmas

Actually John. I was thinking about doing a border collie Christmas song which of course would
require lots of cowbells since there aren't any sheepbells sounds in the VSC. That reminds me.
Did you know that border collies, as well as many other intelligent dogs, will alert their owners
when Santa arrives. All you have to do ask them "Where is Santa?", and, if they agree to talk,
they will always say "woof, woof, woof"....

Move over Raffi!
Actually, Ian, this tune started out as a children's song, "I love my Christmas cat...", for my five year
old grand daughter, but I didn't know where else to take it. She likes it, but not as well as singing
Charlie Brown along with me.

Now that’s funny Great lyrics! Super vox and an outstanding mix. Although I’m deathly allergic to cats I have one question. Can I borrow it for a week?  Super song.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Pretty good stuff -- good twist in the "tale". I gotta admit I haven't listened to a midi-only song in a long time (ha, ha).
