clickety click: Forget about the Banjo (© Artspurg SABAM 2015) If you like a show, 'n music is your goal, a band is a magical thing If you like a show, 'n music is your goal, a band is a magical thing I got me a music stand, a guitar for about a grand What you need for the show, someone to play the banjo I thought me of a caper, an ad in the paper, to audition for a musical band I thought me of a caper, an ad in the paper, to audition for a musical band Bass, the fiddle and the mandolin, they were quickly coming in What I need for the show, someone to play the banjo And so i got me real busy, my ears even dizzy, with banjos coming in And so i got me real busy, my ears even dizzy, with banjos coming in All with an ego of a Royal King, loosing time, couldn't tune the thing, I told them so, now you go, you cannot play the banjo When asked for advice, my friends were very wise, 'n gave my their opinion When asked for advice, my friends were very wise, 'n gave my their opinion For a musical band we see, a banjo brings no decency Let's face so, it must go, forget about the banjo My friends and relations, full of expectations, they waited for so long My friends and relations, full of expectations, they waited for so long With a party soon at hand, telling me "we need a band" Let's face it so, let it go, forget about the banjo PS the chord progression is partly from the pre-post WW2 calypsonian songbattle common ground ...

fiddler,
This is fantastic... It's 5:50 am here right now and I'm sitting listening to your song and trying not to laugh too loud (and wake everyone up). What a great way to start the day. You've created a classic! The song, the arrangement, the mix.... excellent!
Thanks for making Tuesday morning such a good one!
All the best,
Noel

I really liked everything about this. The groove, the instrumentation, your voice but especially those outstanding lyrics! Plus the mix was spot on!
This is a keeper.
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.

Fantastic ironic humour in the lyrics and a really catchy fun feel to your arrangement.
A unique song!

Fiddler What a great write. This was fun from start to finish. Loved the style that you chose, and the lyrics are just so good. Thoroughly enjoyable. Reminds me of a banjo joke, but I won't repeat it here, as it may offend some banjo players  Good one, that's for sure.

Well, thanks, that did it! You all made me now sell off my 1921 Clifford Essex old-time banjo ...
Actually there' a story behind it. Being involved in a session band we had a nice summer's open air gig in a touristic park in Amsterdam. 2 rehearsals planned, and on the second one halfways through the banjo player packed and went unexpectedly. Frustrated? Who knows ... Called a friend who's a great dobro player and without more rehearsing we did the gig, and even a follow-up gig came out of this all.
On the way home i was listening to an old Folkways record with political calysos, and all of a sudden this song popped up in my head ...
BTW, Joe, halfways through you got your expectations rewarded, some realtrack was thrown in at the last minute, couldn't be bothered enough to "hire" a live banjoist ... F

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."
