It was adopted by Enrico Caruso but it is not known whether he commissioned Cardillo and Sisca to write it. It is the only well-known standard Neapolitan song to have been written in America. The song was sung in the season three finale of The Sopranos by Dominic Chianese in character as Corrado "Junior" Soprano Jr. In my instrumental version I play mandolins (Napolitan and Octave) and guitar. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper. ****** Song Summary ************* File:Catari C80.MGU Key=C , Tempo 80, Length (m:s)=3:54 Style is _RAMPART.STY (Rampart Celtic Harp Serenade) MelodyCustom Synth is Hi-Q 050 01 Strings, Ensemble, Movie Sforzando RealTracks used: RealTracks in style: ~2474:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2773:Harp, Rhythm Celtic16ths Ev16 075 + Piano + Drums + Electric Bass + String Quartet + Komplete Kontrol French Horn + Cathedral Organ

Hi Guys. I co-wrote this song with my good friend Tony Spivey. The song was sketched out in BIAB and I was pleased to have The Brothers Glaser record it. It was released in 2015 and reached #1 on the SoundClick charts. Positive Drinking Musicians: BIAB Acoustic Guitar - Jason Roller BIAB Accordion - Jeff Taylor Drums - Superior 2 Bass - Duncan Mullins Fiddle - Jenee Fleenor Dobro - Doyle Grisham Piano - John Mattick Electric Guitars - James "Rooster" Olsen Mixed by Doyle Grisham - D & D Studios, Fairview, TN. Thanks for listening.

Hi J&B. I like this. I was raised on a farm in NE. Our old barn was built in the early 1900's and collapsed a few years back now. Memories. Thanks for posting.

Mario, that was an entertaining little ditty! You are quite the resourceful lad! Those HB guitars are quite a good value for the money involved. I've got a Ric copy bass that I use on everything! Loved that quirky clever ending! TB

Chay, you've created some beautiful music here! You've assembled quite the ensemble with those BIAB tracks! I can surely relate to that struggle to come up with something new! That's usually when I remember to check my voice recorder on my phone for short little melody snippets that pop in my mind occasionally that I quickly record. Usually something will develop from those. This was an enjoyable listen that is well worth the time investment to check it out! Thanks, TB

Ron, nothing wrong with resolutions! Without setting some goals, we end up being stuck where we are and wondering why! This song has such a powerful driving sound thanks primarily to that thumping bass, it really provides a lot of energy to the song! Your vocals are always so good and blend great with those harmony bgd vocals! Great tune and performance! Enjoyed all the way through! TB

SMP = Song Master Pro @ $59.95 additional cost. You're certainly not stupid or dumb. We just need to get you up to speed on BIAB arrangement tools and processes. Hoping all your forthcoming medical appointments go well and yield good results. Charlie EDIT: Audio Chord Wizard Tutorial This tutorial will give you all the basic information for analyzing and chord detection any audio file. This will work with your master files just fine. It's separate from breaking your song into stems but it's an important step to become proficient in the total process. Note how he precisely and accurately adjusts and sets the first few bars of the song before selecting the auto marking. His method is an important step to making the process simple and faster.

Hi, I gonna try the FREEZE function. THanks Yes this is recent behavior - I would say it introduced in 2026. Along the lines of making every track the same? But it does have some negative reprocusions. Having you tried to freeze the Audio track so it can't be changed? Nope. After testing, regardless the track type, Legacy, Audio or Utility, tracks with audio on them lose the Freeze Button. This auto bar insertion feature is applied.

Man, I dig those lyrics. What a great song, Izzy. Great Blues feel that reaches back to the past and adds all the updates since. Are you saying you used Melodyne to reach those high ones. Ha, and my mom said cheaters never win. Your vocals are super, man. What a great choice of musicians too. The first spin made me want more, so I spun it again. Outstanding lyrics, and the perfect Blues melody to present them. Great sounds, Izzy.

Another great use of BiaB instrumentation. Totally relate to the lyrics! Thanks! Hi Scott That’s a really well written and sung song you’ve got there. Your vocal delivery is so smooth and steady, I wish I could do the same. Great use of BIAB style and instruments, really suited the theme, Excellent. Thanks so much:) Good song, good write, really good voice! Hitting on all cylinders. Nice work. I appreciate your comments. Ha! A most excellent song about not being able to write songs. The irony KILLS me! Great use of those super fine bluegrass BiaB RealTracks and your vocals are off-the-charts. Revisiting old songs can be a lot of fun. This one certainly sounds like fun was had. Well done. Oh my gosh. Thanks for those kind words.

........................................... Levitin doesn’t spend a lot of time on music “education” per-se but he does say: Many of the greatest musicians of our era lacked formal training, including Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell. And in classical music, George Gershwin, Mussorgsky and David Helfgott are among those who lacked formal training, and Beethoven considered his own training to have been poor according to his diaries. IMHO if you take all of the musicians in an orchestra, pit bands, bands backing TV shows, etc I would bet that those who made it with no formal training is a small minority. Plus of those whom you listed I'll bet some can read music so they did have some formal training. https://www.louisarmstronghouse.org/faq/could-louis-armstrong-read-music/ https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/song-joni-mitchell-relearn-piano-david-crosby/ I guess the real question is what does one consider as formal training. Lessons on a instrument? A college degree? When I was teaching theory to my guitar and bass students I stressed learn theory but don't let it dictate your playing. Learn theory to enhance your skill bass (scales, how chords are formed,etc) and to analyze what you played but always play from your heart. YMMV

I have also played around with "Essentials" a bit and I think it is quite limited. There is no track or chord section within Tonalic itself as show in all the tutorials (at least I can't find it). Very limited set of patterns only guitar. I can put in a chord sequence in the DAW as usual and drag the pattern to the track. Only the guitar part will populate the track. That works fine the pattern adapts to the chords. Maybe I haven't found out all features yet, but I think to be of any practical use one probably needs one of the larger versions. Unfortunately they are only on subscription.
