The first thing I would try is to update BiaB 2024 to Build 1114 and then perform a Styles (slow or fast) rebuild. [url=https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#1114][/url]

Also, Don was a member of the Grand Ol' Opry even though he was much better known as a songwriter than performer.

Wonderful that everyone teamed together to help you find a viable solution. It is one of the reasons why checking the PGMusic Forum is a daily activity when I have my morning coffee.

Bob, Thanks so much for your very positive feedback! I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me. This song has been locked up for decades, lost in time but not forgotten. AurealiusB

Thanks so much Mario! Yes, I wanted to create a great dance groove for Kathy's lyrics. As for your question: I don't know, Kathy was probably rhyming with the word "pants". From the Build lyrics leading to the Chorus: You talk about the girls wearing black leather pants, You talk about the Russians I bet you talk to your plants! We still got the time, give me a chance, Baby won’t you . . shut up and dance, I wish that you would . . shut up and dance. The song also appears to describe, at least partly, a person who talks a lot (in a humorous way of course!).

Living in what wasn’t yet called the Silicon Valley, I was an alpha tester. It didn’t have near the functionality of the Apple II introduced four years earlier but Lotus changed that soon enough.

Wow Floyd that is really well written and arranged . . . It's another of yours that goes in my "Damn I wish I'd wrote that" listen to list! I'm jealous as I have never been able to write a 'good' song for a female vocalist. A couple duets I think are really good is as close as I ever got. My only nit pick would be the AI vocal. Now I probably wouldn't have noticed had I not known it was AI but there are some odd tones and artifacts if you really listen. Almost but not quite human sounding yet. Absolutely great song though - someone like Carry Underwood could probably make that a big hit Thanks! Much appreciated. The bit of artifacts in the vocals are not a real concern since this will be part of a whole storyboard for the show and is, therefore, "good enough" for those purposes.... I love the feminine side of FJ. The tech did a great job of retaining the you in that vocal...I can hear "you" singing it as "she" does it. The double tracking/bvox work a treat too. The song - excellent. Perhaps you should duet with you on a new one. Excellent song, production & mix. Thanks a bunch, ray.... Good one! What an ambitious and creative project, which of course you completed with ease. I can most definitely hear you, Floyd, your style and delivery, in the Audimee generated vocal. Thanks, Scott...

Hi Mario, So this is your birthday song! You must have had a fantastic day to come up with this. One small downside: I’m not that fond of this music style. I once go to a jazz festival (North Sea Jazz) with my father, and that became an overdose of jazz for me. I’ve never really gotten over that. But you do make a beautiful piece out of it!!! I find that very impressive. One moment it’s a classical orchestra, the next moment film music, and now this. A musical jack-of-all-trades, Mario!!! Hans Thanx Hans. I'm glad that you liked it for what it is; most people do not like all genres of music so don't fell bad about not liking this song. Being in a wedding band for years has made me a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none.

Hi Rob. This is excellent listening and it sat very, very comfortably in my headphones. I love what you've done. My feet started tapping somewhere around bar 2 and didn't stop until the end of the song. You're harmonica solo and vocals were terrific, and that jazz backing band was perfect. All in all, this was music at its best  It's two enthusiastic thumbs up from me! --Noel

Hi Bud, Janice and Peter, I don't know why you said at first: "I know, it's not everyone's taste," and then came up with this!!! And I also see that everyone here is saying about the same thing. So you said it on purpose, Bud... You wanted to provoke these reactions, of course. Well, you succeeded. With flying colors! Let me start with Peter; amazing guitar playing, man! I thought it was truly fantastic! Your fingers must be completely worn down after that battle with the strings! I assume you have a week off now, with those fingers in a bowl of lukewarm water... And then Janice! You just keep singing with that velvety voice, as if the years don't play a part at all. Amazing! How do you manage this, time and time again? I assume you're secretly thinking a bit about my singing voice, right? And then I come to Bud, the maestro of the mix and everything surrounding it. I immediately thought those drums sounded really wonderfully clear. How do you do that? Marty was talking about EZD, do you use that too? Anyway, a lovely song and wonderfully presented! You can be proud of yourselves, Hans Thanks for ALL of those kind remarks Hans! We much appreciate them. Our drums are always RealDrums. We typically double the snare and cymbals for extra processing. And we cut and paste fills Thanks again! J&B

It really depends on what you want to accomplish. A number of people are using Synth V which is essentially a VST that allows you to play a part on your keyboard and add the lyrics. It uses one or more of the available voice databases and produces a fairly good vocal track. It's completely editable. You can also give it a vocal stem and it will extract not only the melody and phrasing but it does a decent job with the lyrics which you can edit easily. You buy Synth V from the company that makes it as well as the voice databases and you have them available without a subscription. These that follow are all subscription based AI. You can subscribe monthly to try them out or yearly if you are planning on doing a fair amount of music with them. Another option is Suno. It also has the ability to construct a song with vocal from your lyrics and a prompt describing the style and other details. I also believe it can build a vocal track using an audio stem that you provide. Version 5.5 is the most recent one and simply put, it is amazing with what it can do and the absolute realism of the music and vocals. Another good option for just the vocals is Audimee. It's designed at this point to just do vocals. And it does them well. Input a stem and choose from the dozens of voices available. This is, in my opinion, one of the best AI generated vocal options available. The quality and character of the voices is simply amazing. It can work from an extracted stem or you can sing a part and audimee will convert it to one of it's singers. Obviously, the better the quality of the stem you can give it, the better the results. Also note: I have given it a complete vocal stem and it did most, about 90% of the track really nicely. However, in a few of the higher parts, it didn't do as well and worked out with weird notes. The solution was to cut that particular part into a small clip that only contained the part it messed up and send just that clip back through the AI. Since its only dealing with a small clip, it will often process the part perfectly. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.

Hi Scott, A wonderful childhood experience wrapped in a fine song. Its structure and especially the lyrics are very beautiful. Your voice sounds really pleasant to listen to. This is how you share your memories in a pleasant way with everyone who hears this song. And it is nice to hear that there is still a bond with Jerry Molstad's family! Hans

Thank you BD I’m glad it had enough variation to hold your attention. I did wonder if I had done enough to hold the listeners interest. I’ll keep it in my mind to perhaps add lyrics at a later date, but no plans at the moment. A Robert Plant follow-on on YT, it cant be bad. Cheers, thank you for listening and review, kind regards.

Ron, This song is incredibly catchy. The lyrics seem to be a reference to the upcoming release of UFO information soon in U.S.A. The sound is a bit Beach Boys-esque. The vocals are fantastic. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

A FANTASTIC piece of music, Mario! So well done hitting all of these notes to create that Mid-Eastern vibe. It reminds a little of Phil Thornton & Hossam Ramzy's new age Egyptian-style music, Thanx Chay. I appreciate your very kind words.
