Hello, folks ! smile
The summer is loose up here in the north
and it just caused this oldtimer to write
down a summerfilled tune !:

http://www.box.com/s/x28lv9pc8mvqxdr1ubco


The BIAB Style is Chuck Berry, recorded
thru zoom H4n to Mixcraft 6

Cheers
Dani

Here are the lyrics:

SUMMER IS HERE AGAIN (words and music by Dani)

1.Summer is here again,
throwin´our clothes away
hope she´s here to reign
for a long, long time
we love you summertime
so sweet as she can be
warm winds caresses me

2.Sun shines bright on the beach
watch how those people play
I´m going out of reach
for a long, long time
we love you summertime

Ref:

(you better go) down, down, down to the waterline
(and swim) around, ´round, ´round, cause the water´s fine
you hear the seagulls cry, in the clear blue sky
and the feelin´s fine, feelin´s fine, feelin´s fine

3.This is the time of the year
nature is kindest to us
then we have nothing to fear
for a long, long time
we love you summertime
so soft and warm is she
what more to ask of thee

4.Blossoms are bloomin´ around
everything´s growing anew
laying so cold on the ground
for a long, long time
we love you summertime

Ref:

(you better go) down, down, down to the waterline
(and swim) around, ´round, ´round, cause the water´s fine
you hear the seagulls cry, in the clear blue sky
and the feelin´s fine, feelin´s fine, feelin´s fine

Ref:

(you better go) down, down, down to the waterline
(and swim) around, ´round, ´round, cause the water´s fine
you hear the seagulls cry, in the clear blue sky
and the feelin´s fine, feelin´s fine, feelin´s fine

Summer´s short when you´re way up north
but it´s still our sweet summertime

Hello Pat !:))

LOL, yes I have always been a big
fan of the Beach Boys (vocals) and
The Shadows (instros) !!:) The style
is Chuck Berry, though, but I like Chuck too (LOL)

I do not know how I came to do this
but I think I got carried away as usual ?

Cheers
Dani

I'd say Beach Boys meet the Fifth Dimension. With a little "See You In September" (The Happenings) thrown in....

Those are some cool harmonies, Dani...

Huntington Beach is in Southern California (Orange County), and it's famous for surfing. Surfers used to "shoot" the HB pier - surf right through the barnacle-encrusted pier pilings. Very hairy with a big surf! shocked

They eventually outlawed the practice, but hardcore surfers still do it. Want to get a surfer to do something? Tell him not to do it! grin


Regards,

Bob

Hi, Josie !

Thank you so much for your
most kind words !:)
The harmonies are all improvised
and maybe not so well structured
as if they were written down, but
I just love the BB:s, cn´t help it !:)

Hi Dani.

One listen and already I'm waxing down my board and ready to hit the beach.

Sadly, the "bushy, bushy blond hairdo" is a thing of the past.

Great Beach Boys sound - loved it!

ROG.

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!

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."
