Greetings all!

My buddy and I recently did a parody song about a common activity on a modern farm. The song is based on The Everly Brothers song "Crying In the Rain." I used Band In A Box to make the drum and bass tracks. I am singing harmony and playing piano, and my buddy is singing lead and playing acoustic guitar.

I used Reaper to mix the audio, and the video was edited with Windows Movie Maker.

The video features pictures and footage taken at my brother's farm, including some video taken with my recently acquired Mavic Mini drone.

A word of warning: there is some extremely mild profanity at the very end of the video, if you happen to make it that far.




I'll never likely see
A harvest time that won't trouble me
My crop's in the rain but I've got propane
So it won't be in vain
I'll be drying all my grain

If I wait for sunny skies
Harvest won't be done till next July
The grain might be tough but it's still dry enough
Though the combine might strain
I'll be drying all my grain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Always seem to make for misery
But since I've got my dryer
Propane I will acquire
And chase the damp from my canola seed

Next spring when my drying's done
I'm gonna wear smile and seed in the sun
I may be a fool but till then I shall fuel
My dryer with propane
I'll be drying all my grain

Thanks, Ember. It's been a bit of a running gag at rehearsals the last little while, so one day I decided to take it to the the next level and flesh out some lyrics. I was also itching to use my new drone for something, so it all worked out, I suppose.

Thanks for listening.

Great take on a classic Everly Brothers song. Harmonies are spot on.

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."
