Janice & Bud, This is such a great song / write and a new favorite for me. I don't know how I missed this one years ago. Of course, I love the superb vocal by Janice and the excellent support by Floyd. Peter also plays a key role and completely frames the song with his signature tones. Another pro mix / master by Bud. A big open clear-as-bell sound. None better! Bob Bob, you know how much we enjoy your productions and that makes your kind comments very special. So on behalf of all four of us thank you so much! J&B

Wild weather everywhere. Record heat here and a drought. Wish you could've sent us a bit of that rain! We always love a fretless (big Jack Bruce fans). And you sound great on yours as does your flute and horns. We watch a lot of relaxation nature films on YT. This would be perfect background music for them. Enjoyed it! J&B Thanx Janice and Bud. I'm glad you liked the fretless bass, especially when the compliment comes from an upright basses. Thanx for that!

Dan, first I hope your wife is on the mend. It can take time and I know you are there for her. Just be sure to take care of yourself also. Secondly, as usual another Christian masterpiece. Thirdly, you and your wife will be in my prayers tonight. Loved the song.

Note: Only two things were needed for this song: BiaB and good musicians  ............................................

Bumping this excellent piece, It deserves more than two comments. Bob, thanx for bumping this up. Somehow I missed it. Christ, I really liked the backing band on this one. That percussion and violin were fantastic. The AI vocal was good but I thought that it is to upfront; but that is only my opinion. The lyrics were great, half dragon, half dragonfly - brilliant. Super mix Loved it.

Hello, I have seen that the setting TRIPLET RESOLUTION in the Notation Window Options settings always appears as ACTIVATED. I have songs where I nned to be disabled, but always appears enabled. I have saved the song with this setting DISABLED but always is loaded ENABLED, so the music appears wrong in the track. is this parameter NOT saved with the song? Any help? Thanks Montxo

The program might have updated to build 1247 but evidently at least one of the supporting files is corrupt. I still advise deleting the update installation file you presently have, download a fresh copy from the PG Music website and install the fresh copy.

Wow man, do you meet up with those BiaB session guys in person?  That band is so cohesive. And that guitar solo -- you pay Brent a little on the side? And the panpipe was a great choice. As was the idea of a bossa groove. The mix sounds fine on our monitors. Subtleties and dynamics galore. Well done and a treat to listen to! J&B

i sit in the choir as you write, Floyd. Writing music --creating in general-- is the best part of being human. Man, this is such a fantastic write, as it should be considering the subject. One can imagine genii flowing from that pen, spilling over the paper, and your hands turning the 88 keys loose. Excellent vocal (hehe --your middle name). Man, i seriously can't wait for that musical, and yes, this song is a must for it. Thanks, Marty! Great end result from your therapy session. The song seems timely when I'm struggling with songwriting, even though I don't use paper and pen, but "Notepad and keyboard" - I guess that wouldn't be as good a title as yours "so look for the light in the tunnel/look for the sun creeping in/look for a way to find your joy" very beautiful lyrics High quality fj production, smooth instrumentation and great vocals. Gravity has been released, thanks for this lovely song. Janne Much appreciated, Janne....

Awesome production Chay. First excellent vocal and backtrack. The mix and master was first class. Well done... Thanks, Scott! Very much appreciated. Though none of my posts are mastered as I don't have the room for new programs on my PC - I desperately need a new one with at least 2TB space, preferably 4 - so I'm mostly envious of the quality that others get, including yourself.

I agree with Janne, your song sounds like a folky McCartney song. The lyrics are pretty good, too. My new favorite of yours ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks B.D.! ‘folky McCartney’ - I’ll accept that review any day! I’ve occasionally studied McCartney’s songs to understand what he does musically, but he is so diverse that it is difficult to pin down. Two features that I think are a standout for him are melody where he consistently uses interval leaps greater than a tone (and some much larger) and his use of backing harmonies to increase the harmonic appeal - many of Lennon’s and Harrison’s songs were greatly enhanced by McCartney’s vocal harmonies. I try to add these feature to my own songs. Thank you for listening and commenting! Andrew

Mike, I was working in research at Kodak when that song came out. Kodak wanted the registered trademark symbol ® instead of demanding copyright infringement and stopping playing it because it was free advertising for our film. Interesting spin on what really happened. There is no copyright on titles nor individual words nor was there any in the 1909 version of Title 17 when the song was released—nothing to demand in that regard. Paul Simon and someone at Eastman Kodak sat down and worked it out—lawyers were never involved. Later, when Kodak tried to license the song for advertising, the attorneys could not work out a satisfactory deal until the 1990s. Trademark is different and Kodak was/is aggressive about protecting theirs—as they should be. Aspirin, Zipper and Thermos are three brands fell into the public domain through a process commonly called "genericide" due to the owners not being aggressive enough to protect their property. The BBC and Australia self-censored airplay since, at the time, they did not allow commercial names in songs over the radio but Kodak had no hand in that.

The below lyric reminded Janice of her Mama saying that she could walk into a room where Janice’s Daddy was. And they would look at each other and her knees would get weak. 😊 “No matter where we are or what we do our love is there. We keep it in the looks we share.” Marty, this song would fit so well in the soundtrack of a romantic comedy movie. Fine performances and production. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed the vid’s light show during Dave’s solo. Please keep spreading the joy! J&B

I really like the driving rhythm and the overall vibe of your song. Good choice of instruments and beautiful vocals, they fit the song perfectly. Toe-tapping goodness Anytime I hear "toe tapping" it makes me smile . . . That's exactly the reaction I was going for. Thanks for the very kind review!!

We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. 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.

We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. 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.
