Lots of great stuff on here lately.

This is a song about my father. Just a little folk song.


https://soundcloud.com/90-db/old-man


Old Man

©1992 Robert Randall Burke


The road, it lies before me
Like a challenge in the night
But my eyes
Don't see well anymore
Old man.
Old man.


And I once went to China
Once when I was young
But I couldn't tell you much about it now
Old man.
Old man.


And I've always been a wanderer
The road's my only friend
But I guess I'll have to stay here
Till it's over
Old man.
Old man.




Regards,


Bob

Nice write, Bob.

Well played, well sung, nicely recorded. The vocal processing is exceptional.

Enjoyed it.

Bob,
I enjoyed the gentle reflection in your lyrics and richness of your vocal. Nice guitar too.
Very good.

Bob,

I agree with floyd. As always, you lead the way and show us all how to take just a few words and spin them into a worthy tale. I found this very listenable in every way.

Noel

Very beautiful!! I love the sparse arrangement (I guess that's you on the acoustic). Very much of a S and G quality. Great vocal too! Loved it Bob!! Take care. Greg

There's a helluva lot of emotion packed in those few words and that terrific vocal.

I'm old enough to have seen my father and many uncles from the depression and wwII generation pass on. Your song took me immediately to them.

Powerful production!

Robert,

This is beautiful. Nicely floating and drifting sound. Very gentle.
Beautiful chord progression and lyrics, and top-notch vocals as always.
The "old man" repetition works great in the arrangement.

Hi, Bob !


I think this is one of your
absolute best if not the best !
It took me back to those nice
days of yesterday when we used
to sit with a guitar in our
hands singing all those sweet
folk songs of Dylan, P, P and M,
Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel etc.

Pure nostalgia !!!

Cheers
Dani

This is so danged good! My (Alan) father died in 1969 - about a year and a half after I got back from Vietnam. Brought back some memories. You get a lot from so little - that's a true talent. We loved it! Best to you - and the old man!

Hi Bob.

Yes, simple but effective.

And absolutely beautiful.

Full of emotion, as ever.

Terrific mix - I wish I had that reverb!

Cheers, ROG.

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."
