It has been a while since I posted a new tune, so I thought I would come back with a bluegrass tune that I wrote a while back. It is a very basic melody going back to a simpler time, although an important one, for me at least. I hope you all enjoy it. It is good to be back.

The Place where My Memories Dwell
I went for a drive down A quiet country lane to a place I remember so well the old church is gone but it still lingers on in that place where my memories dwell
chorus
the place where my memories dwell that place where my memories dwell the old church is gone but it still lingers on in that place where my memories dwell
my mind wanders back to my childhood and that weathered old church on the hill the place where I first met my savior it lives in my memory still
repeat chorus
I stopped and walked up on the hillside and I felt those first tears start to flow and I fell on my knees and prayed to my lord just like that first time long ago
repeat chorus

Hi guitar1, this is excellent! This sounds very full and very soothing to hear. Great tone with the guitar too. Fantastic work on the vocals. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Joe

I really really, really enjoyed listening to this little waltz... I like your vocal delivery & presentation... Reminded me of something Vern Gosdin would include on one of his albums! Now the question...
Where is "Noah"?... I really liked that one also... I went back the next day to hear it again & it was gone... I think there were only 2 of us on the forum who were lucky enough to hear it... If possible, please reconsider & bring it back.

This really well done. Nice use of the dobro. I think that a lot of the bluegrass real tracks are among the best. Very well sung. I really enjoyed it, Tom

What a tune! A pristine example that sometimes less is more. It's sweet and to the point, and gets right into it. Nicely catchy, and your vocals are sincere and definitely standout. I really loved the solo sections too. The entire tune is very subtle and calming to listen to. Really well done - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Nicely done. This is a very relatable song. Vocals sound good and so does your "band."

Hi guitar1,
I truly enjoyed listening to this song. I have to admit that I know next to nothing about this genre / style of music, but to my ears it sounded very good. Your vocals are great and the mix sounds excellent!
Thank you for sharing! Will

Thanks so much, Joe, Ember and Deryk. When I use to perform this in churches, it was popular because people could sing along to the Chorus. Thanks again.

A very relate-able song. The sort of thing I have listen to live in East Texas on several occasions.
I think Bluegrass and Country are the styles that BB does really well.
Good tune. I enjoyed it.
Cheers,
Billy

I don't want to overload the forum with a long string of comments, so I will say this. I really appreciate all who took the time to comment on this latest tune. Your comments mean a lot to me and I thank each and every one of you.
Also, In answer to Jim's question about a previous song posting. Jim, I was not in a good place when I posted "Noah" and after listening to it later, I was not happy at all with my vocal performance. I am rerecording the vocals and I will repost when it is finished. I thank you for asking. Maybe I will be better satisfied this time. Thanks again and be well all.

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."
