Janne, well, I think you may have created a new genre. Whatever it's called, and I don't care, it sounds GREAT! Fabulous band, mix and overall arrangement. The vocal arrangement is also stunning. The lyrics work better than fine, but the crafting of the song around them could carry the song as an instrumental, or would still work if the lyrics were gibberish (they aren't). Not the kind of song I could ever write, which makes me a TINY bit jealous, but really just a whole lot of inspired just the same. Super song.

Andrew, Ha! This sounds like a lost track from the Kink's (very awesome) Arthur album. Just...SUPERB in every respect: Epic theme, classic sounds and SO singalong-able. Hooks on hooks. Delicious stuff. Oh, and the opening rocks, too.

Thanks for the update! Done some testing and it feels like the destructive chopping issue is resolved. Very good! However, continuous looping is still a problem. It works ok for the first run, real tracks and user audio is in sync. With following looping things get out of sync. From what I can see it all works stable with continuous looping if tempos are equalized. If some audio editing has been done and the assigned tempo bars differs, it will get out of sync. The offset I mentioned in an earlier post is not fixed but depends on the timing of the bars. @Andrew: Did you test with an audio track edited with assigned tempo bars and these varying, i.e. not constant? Is there some recalculation of the tempo of the bars being done when the second looping takes place as it gets out of sync? Also setting tempo bars in audio edit defines these with decimals and in the song setting the bar tempos are normally are presented as integers ..., is this a clue to the problem?

Thank you Mario, Yeah, that whistle has worked really well and carries the song more than any other instrument. It created the right atmosphere. Sorry to hear about your MIL. It’s hard for those of us who haven’t experienced it to comprehend the devastation and heartbreak. I can think of a few countries who are living this today. I’d like to think that as a species we learn from our mistakes, but there are times when I question it. Cheers Mario, much appreciated.

Ray, your positions are still not clear. I can’t read your mind. Are you serious, or just trolling? He's made his position - of not being antisemetic - abundantly clear. You just refuse to see it.

Different than what I expected, but still very enjoyable. Great reggae sound with interestingly detailed arrangement and lush mix. Leon has written touching and socially important message. Peter adds nice fills. Janice is always in her element, no matter the style, nice layering of vocals. Janne Thank you very much. Comments like this make the generation explorations even more enjoyable. We sincerely appreciate it! J&B

Floyd, this is a masterpiece for sure. I'm glad you shared this with us. I really loved your piano, it fit the groove perfectly. The guitar was excellent also. But your vocal and lyrics were the highlights; a great write. Everything was top shelf, as always. Loved it.

I like the percussive sound of this one Marty! Bill’s steel adds some atypical effects to the accompaniment. Good vocal from you as usual, and a very hooky chorus. I enjoyed this very much! Andrew

Love the laid back groove on this one, Mario. Pretty good write, some great lines! Vocal not bad at all, fits the song, and love your B3 playing. Nicely done! Thanx Dave. I'm not a keyboardist by any imagination but I do hack at it. I'm not a good vocalist either. I'm glad you like it.

Per always nice vocals and bass. And is Dave ever shining! The bridge and solo gave us a Jefferson Airplane vibe. Our main thoughts about the other side: Will we be reunited with our dogs and family?😉 We agree with your philosophy about making the most of every day. Well done - audio and vid. Enjoyed it! J&B Thanks, Janice & Bud. Much appreciated. I'm glad I'm on this side and can live fuller life by enjoying your pleasant and clever music. I can be a recommender if you and Dave have difficulties to pass the final test  Wherever you end up to, play as loud as possible so I can hear your music wherever I am  Great questions and great advices without preaching. "All the time we spend inside our mind, we miss the truth" - I know I know. This is a modern classic song with excellent chord progression reminding me of Black Magic Woman and Hotel California. Dave's guitar plays heavenly flames. Your bass is full of life. Great convincing vocals. The bridge is very nice change in the mood, cool chords and your voice sounds scary, like it's coming from the grave. Great open ending... or maybe I heard the swing of the grim reaper's scythe Janne Thanks, Janne. That's funny. I'll play loudly, but it might be muffled through Dave's flaming guitar. I love the verse before the solo - drama, depth and YOUR voice. Then Dave's ace solo! Marty - marvelous stuff...contemplation of mortality along with some sage advice - you've nailed it. Thanks so much, Ray.

Dee Johnson was a teacher of mine in high school when I was first learning guitar. She would have "Sings" at her house on weekends. All kinds of musicians showed up. Fiddlers banjo dulcimer guitar you name it. They did a lot of old ballad type stuff and some "hillbilly moonshine" style music. She was a fan and a master of old Scottish and English folk tunes. I swear she had the entire Childs catalogue memorized. This was my favorite and the first I learned. VERY different from the Jim Moray version you introduced me to and this is how I play it. I'm thinking about visiting the Celtic styles in BiaB and do a semi rocked up version of it myself now thanks to you. Hope you enjoy this version

We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
