Hi All,

Here's a new little folk song inspired by my affinity for the radio and its connection to my life in New York throughout the years… smile

"And if time could sing
It would have whispered in stereo"

Love that line, Bob...

Good mix. A good listen. Strong vocal. The instrumentation carries the song well...

Enjoyed it..

I like the clean approach you took here with the arrangement. All the percussion and simple, sparse guitar.

much enjoyed!

Hi Bob. Interesting writing, as always from you!! Really dig the vibe. I assume the Fall day was 9/11/01-burned into all of our memories. This song is a really interesting tribute. Although I'm not crazy about much of the music on the radio anymore, radio definitely has been a mainstay in my life (these days talk radio more). There is something about the connectedness that's compelling. Not as big and pervasive as the web but more intimate. Thanks for sharing this interesting and enjoyable song! And, there were your signature congas again, and again fitting in perfectly! Take care. Greg

Hi Bob,

Another very enjoyable listen. The groove, the melody and the vibe all collaborated to really pull me into this one. Nice work. I thought the mix was great and your presentation was perfect for the genre.

Regards,
Noel

Hi, Bob !

Seems to me it has to
be a Bob to come up
with such brilliant
lyrics ! To me you are
a greater show than Dylan
himself !:))

I guess we all miss
radio times !!!

I liked everything about
this folk tune of yours !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Bob,
This is brilliant!
Hey radio took me from the first phrase, to the end.
Very well produced, every note counts, not one sound or note to many!
Loved the production, and you use your voice very efficiently.
Well done!

Greg,

Yes, I remember taking the train home to Long Island from NYC that day - I had a small digital radio that I used to keep in my bag - listened to that the whole way home.

I still find a link to radio no matter where I go - still means a lot to me.

Thanks so much for listening and your kind words.

Bob

This is fantastic! I really like the sparse instrumentation in this. This song is so strong that it does not need anything else.

Your vocal was perfect, the lyrics outstanding and the mix was super.


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."
