Hi all.
I wrote this for a metal detecting site on Youtube.
If the words don't make sense that's why.

Shadow Dummy

Please advise on the quality of the vocals. Most of you know I have been trying to improve
the quality.
All advice welcome. Rob

Shadow Dummy

You are always standing by as the sun beats on the ground.
Nothing to say you never make a sound. Oh no no
When the clouds abound you run away never a site to bee seen.
Now and then I catch you in my dreams.

You come around at midnight when the moon is full.
Just standing there to steal my every move.
Though you dont talk about me dont mean no dog gone thing
Shadow dummy watch my every move.

Tho people say I walk on you, you know it is not true.
You copy every little thing I do
You know I never say good by till Im beneath the clay.
I know that youl be sorry on that day

You come around at midnight when the moon is full.
Just standing there to steal my every move.
Though you dont talk about me dont mean no dog gone thing
Shadow dummy watch my every move.

Nice harmonies - got an Elvis vibe going - vocals suited well to the song and hard to criticize.
Overall a very good rockabilly song (with interesting lyrics!).

Cooloola cove produces some cooloola music.
Vocals are perfect for this song.

You are the Aussie version of Shakin Stevens and I imagined you dancing like he does whilst singing this song laugh

A good way to blast my way into the day.

keep 'em coming!

I think your vocals suit the song quite well. You captured the genre very authentically with the backing tracks, and convey the image of a jukebox playing somewhere in a bar late one evening with lots of people having a good time.

I've enjoyed watching many of your metal detecting videos on YouTube. I have an inexpensive one that can only find nails, bottle caps and lost bolts. Been thinking about getting another, higher quality such as a top line White. Poor experience with the cheap models have failed to motivate me to make the jump so far. It's your videos that motivate me so far.

Regarding the song. First rate write, performance and production. Your vocals have always been good. It seems your recording chops are improving. For me, this is a top quality recording.

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
