I have been away for a month and also had some family issues that have kept me away from music for a while so no new song yet. Appologies for my absence.
So just to start getting back into the swing, I don't think I posted this one from 3 years ago. The idea came from something my father used to say to me.

Your dad is a wise man, Vic. Hope all is good for you now. Missed you. Two words have such an impact. Prefect harmony choices. Man, that chorus is inspiring. The lyrics are really good; the message is string and clear. I like the banjo choice. The fiddle too.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Vic ...

Good to have you back posting again. Really good song - has a modern Americana-Folk sound to my ears. That fiddle really earned its place - great choice and execution. Inspiring lyric and well presented. Nice job, Vic.

Alan

Hello Vic,

You came back with a hell of a song, wow!!!
Along with your beautiful dark voice this is surely a strong, but sensitive song, embedded in a very nice rhythm!
And what good lyrics too.

I listened severall times, in fact I am still listening to this song. Can't get enough of it...

Wow, what a powerful two-note hook! Grabbed me from the beginning and demanded to be played again. And again. Great work on this, a real winner for sure.

Vic,

It's good to go back and resurrect great tunes like this one! I love every part of it...vocals, instrumentation, mix, all of it! Hopefully you'll find some time to develop new material!

Thanks, Torrey

Nice arrangement Vic, good phrasing in the vocal too.
There's a little sibilant stuff that pokes out with a vocal so forward in the mix.
The fiddle is ace.


Cheers

Strong intro, and solid chorus. Nice vocal as well.

The fiddle sounds great here as well.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Misha.
I like the "folk twist" and have always liked a lot of folk music.

Thanks for the comments.

Glad to be halfway back. I'm still chasing my mojo.

Americana/folk is what I try to aim for so I'm glad you think it worked.

Yes, I do have a ssssss problem. My old ears don't hear it like they should.
Maybe it'll turn out to be the next big thing.

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."
