Hi, friends ! With this little tune I am sending you my best Christmas wishes !:)) Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas http://app.box.com/s/cdfpaj2xdmn8fbh0824jhttp://soundcloud.com/dani-lindroos/christmas-timeStyle: BIAB sweet sweet smooth jazz funk Recorded thru zoom H4n to mixcraft 6 on laptop Cheers Dani Christmas Time (Music and words by Dani) It´s that time of the year we´ve all waited for, for so long Christmas time, a time to celebrate like before, with a song gather friends and family together at last, like a cast from the past, may the yuletide forever last, may it last Have I been good enough to receive some gifts this year, again? Am not sure, but I hope I tried my best every now and then So, let it snow so we all have to mush, in deep snow there´s no rush, as we all will have to push on slow, what a show Gonna take me a trip to the grave where my dearest lies so still a prayer on a strip I´ll read. light a candle the darkness to fill For you, this is my little gift for you, all my friends if I hurt someone I hope this will make amends, my friends Wishing you a Merry Little Christmas time, fade away....

Dani,
Cool stuff in this one. I liked your instrumentation (although some jingle bells in the end would have been a nice touch).
Nice vocal. and a very cool ending...
Merry Christmas to you!
floyd

Hi, Floyd !:)) Thank you for your most kind comments !:)) I would sing a finnish song if I knew any !!! Have never been overly interested in minor key tunes (shows that I am actually a barbershopper at heart !) , but.......I will play one for you !:)) http://app.box.com/s/fvtem1s1ln4lpgbytw94This is "Isontalonantti ja Rannanjärvi" a finnish traditional that is about two of the meanest criminals this country had ever seen !:)) You can find out more on wikipedia I guess !:)) The one I am playing here on my american built Ovation acoustic is a jazzy version of that old traditional ! :)) Hope you´ll enjoy ! The backing is all BIAB !! Cheers Dani

The song got me smiling right away - the accompaniment is perfect. Like others, I enjoyed the harmonies at the end.

Hi, David !:))
Well, you know, that sounds nice ! I wrote this tune to celebrate all my friends all over the world! I know I was out too early, as most people cannot relate to Christmas before Thanksgivin´is bypassed ?:)) Now, up here in the North, we do not really recognize Thanksgiving day as a Ceremonial day, so I was not aware of the situation before now !:)) David,I am thankful for your kind comments:))
Cheers Dani

Floyd, I have tons of guitar music I´ve played but they are covers and thus I cannot post them here !:)) I sent you one in the PM ! Cheers Dani PS ! I started to play lead guitar only a year ago, have been a rhytm guitarrist since childhood days, so I am a little shaky and my fingers don´t want to move as fast as I want them to ! (chuckle...giggle...)!::)) Cheers Dani

Wow! I'd passed up the link, but I'm glad I clicked it after floyd pointed it out. Nicely done! (BTW, Wikipedia really doesn't say much more than you already did).

Cool tune.... it has a slight island feel to it...
And yeah, it's almost time for Christmas stuff to start happening....
I saw someone had hung some decorations in a tree in front of their house...
Nice job.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi, Herb !
Thank you for your kind review ! Must be the jazzfunk that gives that Island feel to it ? One day I hope to learn how to use Realtracks too ?:))

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!

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."
