Hi All,

Here's something new. This is called Gone Like April Showers.

All BIAB RTs - recorded and mixed in GarageBand.

Thanks for listening!

Hey Bob,

This is great. The instruments, the rhythm, the melody - all great. This is my new favourite song of yours. I loved the lyrics. To me they were about coming through on the other side of a broken relationship. That was something I found it very easy to relate to.

Excellent work!
Noel

Bob,

Good to see ya back around. I really like the sound in the first verse with just you and the guitars - a fresh, clean sound that fit your lyrics nicely. The organ threw it off a little for me... would have liked that early sound to continue throughout...

As always, an interesting listen.

Good to hear you are back, Bob.

A great song but the verse really hooked me, beautiful and simple.

My favourite so far I think

Hi Bob
As has been said, nice to see you back on the forums. Nice song. I especially enjoyed he more acoustic verse but I loved the lyrics in the chorus "so gone baby gone"

Hey JosieC,

Thanks so much. I think you and Floyd made the right call on this one - sounds better as an "all acoustic".

I just uploaded a new acoustic version. Thanks again for listening and commenting.

Hi Bob
A nice acoustic country song. Great lyrics - some time you gotta move on and Gone like April Showers is a neat way to put it.
cheers

Bob, I always like the imagery in your songs. This one is especially good. I heard both versions and this one is much better. With the organ gone you might drop back the vocals a bit. I am used to your unique style after all these years and I always look forward to your posts. Don't stay away for so long. I really liked this. Good write and good vocals.

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."
