Here you go...My wife, Di, singing a sexy, sultry Pop R&B thing we wrote a couple of years ago. Hope you enjoy it. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11146103The vocal is a little too forward in the mix...will drop it back a little next time I get to it.

That's a beautiful voice, Di! Thank you so much.
Thanks also for encouraging me on my music. I consider myself as the least talented on these forums...sorta the worst case scenario!

Wow, Alan and Di, that is a beautiful voice. I will go back for second helpings later. I also was stationed in Germany for five years, two years in Nuremberg and three years in Schweinfort. I absolutely loved the people as well as their beer and food. I understand the language a lot better than I write or speak it. Excluding me, you will discover an immense fount of talent here. You will love these musicians as much as I do. We also frequent a busking site called www.streetjelly.com where we we can exhibit our talent before a live audience of our peers. Your viewers reward you with tokens. Don't expect to get rich, I think the tokens are valued at $0.18 each but it's wonderful to be acknowledged by your peers.

Hi Don...
Awwww, thank you so much! I am so happy you enjoyed it! Alan and I were talking a few minutes ago...if you're the worst case scenario then there isn't a bad artist here. We both enjoyed listening to you very much. Merry Christmas from both of us.

Don,
Al here this time. We just saw your follow-up post. I am retired from the Army, 1965 - 1988. I spent 3 tours in Germany. My MOS was a very small one...only 95 of us in the Army, all ranks, worldwide. there wasn't a single officer in our MOS. Our commanders were always from related MOS's. I retired as a 42E4H, it's now a 68G, I think. Anyway, we didn't travel much. We rarely spent less than 4 years at a duty station if we were grade E-6 or above. I had cush assignments!
I still read, write and speak passable German but have forgotten a lot. I go on the internet and read the German newspapers from time to time. I've been to both Nurnburg and Schweinfurt. I played in a band at the NOC clubs at almost every Army Installation between K-town, Munich ands Hanau. Played 25 - 28 shows a month! I was lucky to have worked for a 2-star general much of the time and set my own hours.
Thank you so much for your kind words regarding my wife's singing. We just got married this past May but have been together for 4 years. She sings almost as pretty as she looks!
Don't sell yourself short...your music is great! We thoroughly enjoyed listening to you! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
Al & Di

We have a proverbial ball over there. At 9:30 Central, a little girl, Summer,, comes on. You needn't register to watch but if you want a dialogue with the performers you need to register. It's still free. I'll be among the viewers. Hope to see you both there. You don't need to tip if you don't want to.

Hi Scott!
My wife thanks you very much, as I do, for the nice comments on her singing. I cannot take any credit for the performance of the music. I wrote the music (chord pattern and arrangement) but all the instruments are BIAB. Di and I wrote the lyric together. We appreciate all the nice words! best to you and Merry Christmas.

Alan and Di, What an excellent piece of team work. Very professional, smooth, easy listening. Great lyrics, nice solo on the EP, all round sultry style. Easy on the ears, that one!

cool tune, great voice.... what's not to like about that.
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.

Alan and Di, Definitely got an Anita Baker vibe from this. That's not a bad place to be. Great mix,production and playing. Of course the vocal is excellent. Glad you guys are here on the forum. All the best, Tom

Cool feel all the way around. I agree with Tommy on the Anita vibe and also that it's a good place to be. Casual and unforced aura in a Peggy Lee manner -- really enjoyable listen!!

Video track,
Thank you so much for all those kind comments. I don't think the stores have hats big enough for us to wear now! Seriously, we do appreciate you supportive and warm comments!

Ian,
Thank you so much! Those are some real nice comments you left for us! My wife just started singing 7 or 8 years ago. She never knew she had a good voice until someone told her. Wishing you the best,
Al & Di
PS: I've (Al) been to England twice, both times to a small place called Burtonwood. It's near Warrington. Enjoyed my stay there.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
