Well, I got a bit distracted from my goal of South African songs and ended up recording and doing a video of this classic Stephen Foster public domain song. I saw a version on Youtube by James Taylor and Yo Yo Ma and this inspired me on this interpretation. Real Tracks are RealTracks in style: ~~701:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~~368:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~1676:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~364:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 065 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^2-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Lyrics (as if you need them!) Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears While we all sup sorrow with the poor There's a song that will linger forever in our ears; Oh, hard times come again no more Chorus 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times come again no more Many days we have lingered Around my cabin door Oh hard times come again no more While we seek birth and beauty in music light and gay There are frail forms waiting by the door Though their voices are silent, their haunting looks will say; Oh, hard times come again no more 'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave 'Tis a will that is heard upon the shore 'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lonely grave Oh, hard times come again no more Comments are always very welcome! Hard Times Come Again no More

Josie, this is one of my all time favorite tunes. You did it justice. Good job on a heartfelt vocal. I first heard this song done my Mavis Staples and it rocked me. I will have to check out JT and Yo Yo. Also nice job on the video. Keep them coming! Tom

Hi Joanne:
I like your version of the song and the images you've chosen. Nicely done. It makes the video that much stronger.
You're trying new things with each new video and that's great.
I'm looking forward to the next. Keep it up.
John

Hi Guys, Tommy, RichMac, Guenter, Dani, Floyd, John, Scott, Danny and Noel Thank you all for such nice comments! This one was fun! I would be interested to hear from anybody who had a look at the JT and Yo Yo Ma video on Youtube. I thought it was awesome! Here is the link. James Taylor and Yo Yo Ma version I love it, but I guess I love anything that James Taylor does. I know there are some non-bruce fans on this forum but you really gotta have a look at this one. Here is one by Bruce Springsteen. Bruce Springsteen and E street band version

Great song, great arrangement and a fine production!! A bluegrasser Claire Lynch does a version of that song that we considered working out years ago but never did. It has a beautiful melody and you really expressed it!!

Hi Bud
Had a listen to that Claire Lynch version. Wonderful bluegrass stuff. Such an unusual voice Claire has. It is so fascinating listening to all the various interpretations of this awesome song.

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."
