As a some of you know, Barry & I have made a lot of music over the years. Some of it we even made money at. But recently we decided to find all our old obscure, not released stuff & give it away. We've been compiling the collection at BobAndBarryShow.com FWIW, my personal stuff is here - http://bobandbarryshow.com/bobs-music/ Like I said, it's all stuff that never saw the light of day, just ideas..
There's also a page dedicated to the crazy stuff Barry & I did together over the years. And a page dedicated to just Barry driven stuff .. though we were always involved with each others music (since the early 70's)
This may appear as shameless self-promotion (and it is), but thought I'd share none the less. At minimum it all used PT. Some used RB, some may have used BiaB, but we always had fun. Thanks Peter & Jeff
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
I dunno, works here. I can't believe someone made it down that far to find that.
That said, you didn't miss much. That was one of the first songs I ever wrote (high school), and I was certainly surprised when the instructor said "let's try to do this" <grin>
In this rendition it is pretty much a GM version of the song anyway .. so nothing to write home about
Actually, I shouldn't short myself, it IS pretty cool now that I think about it; a high school age kid actually writing this stuff out. (Yeah I took the time to hand write every part out for our high school jazz band) That was over 40 years ago (ancient) .. time flies when you're having fun
I liked the way the Bass cuts through. It sounds like it could be the music score from one of Perry Mason's 'Ironside' episodes Actually, it's pretty neat, especially for a high school composition.

When I was young I listened to stuff like Bob James, Maynard Ferguson, Yes, UK, Masabumi Kikuchi, Al Stewart, Steely Dan .. to name a few The Doors were not in my world view at the time.

This made me laugh. Raymond Burr played Perry Mason and Ironside. So saying Perry Mason's Ironside just struck me as funny. I do this all the time, can't remember an actor's name and call them by their most famous character's name!
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
Ha Ha. Good pickup. Yes, the actor certainly was Raymond Burr, but I found myself visualizing him as 'in character' when I contemplated the suggestion of the 'Ironside' musical score.

I like all of this!! If you released it today and called it Art Rock it would sell. Every song is different so there is no "all sounds the same" syndrome. And for the time you wrote this stuff it was cutting edge.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

Yeah, I was going for something like that (but only for the intro) I don't think the rest of the song is 'Ironside'ish .. more Get Smart, or some other show from long ago Thanks for the compliment. When I left high school and went to college the instructor asked if any of us had ever done any arrangements, or such .. so I pulled out those old charts and I'll be danged if we didn't play it in the spring concert.
Learning theory and reading/writing early on was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Not for making money, but for enjoying life, which is the bigger goal IMHO

Thanks Eddie, glad you enjoyed it, though probably not as much as I did creating it. The Art Rock thing was a nice touch, made me smile. I don't think Art Rock would sell much anymore .. that means you have to take the time to listen, probably more than once, to appreciate it. People don't do that anymore

Although she is way hotter than you (in a "in certain outfits and in certain lighting" kind of way), so there's that...
In fact she's on Austin City Limits tonight, though she is blonde again and has a different band configuration that isn't as good as the years when that picture is from.
I DID buy a St Vincent guitar if you recall. Mainly because it is shaped just like her! And it sounds great!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
