Hey Guys.

As recommended by Journeyman Ive pulled the vocal back a touch and added reverb over the whole mix.

Old Homestead-Soundclick

Let me know what you think.
Regards Rob

Don’t go bye the homestead cos there’s no on there no more.
Its been twenty five years since they turned a key in the door.


All the faces of my childhood have faded and past me bye.
I wont go bye the old folks homestead as I know that I mite cry.


There’s a rusty windmill turning just by the old plum tree.
And the passion fruit defiant grows on the lavertree.

The chimneys tumbled down and the roof has fallen through.
The front gate lays decaying its become white ant food.
..............................................................................
And the sound of laughing children filled the mountain air.
The smell of country cooking makes me wish I was still there.
.............................................................................

I hear some one a whistling as I drift into a trance.
There’s foot steps on the porch where the old folks used to dance.

And if memories are all you have, then its time to look ahead.
Its fine to sit and reminisce but no time to regret.

There’s a head stone on the hillside the grass has crowded in.
Never lost to my memory what a wonder it has been.

Don’t go by the old folk’s homestead cos there’s no on there no more.
Its been twenty five years now its time to lock the door.

Hi Rob,

This version is very much better than the first one.
I can make out what you are singing about.

Good job.

Best regards
George

Robert,

Another very good song! I really like the lyrics to this one. Very touching. I never heard the old version (been out for a couple weeks), but this one sounds good. Thanks for sharing this one.

Rob, this is fantastic!

The perfect backing tracks for your vocals. Outstanding lyrics also.

Two thumbs up!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."
