Don Quixote

©2014 Robert Randall Burke/BMI



Don Quixote had a farm
EIEIO
Old Sancho at his arm
Everywhere he'd go
Headed off on his great quest
To fight the foreign foe
Tilting at the windmills in a row.


Dulcinea waiting there
In the castle keep
He saw her everywhere
Even in his sleep.


All the people of the town
Say that he's insane
But truly, he's the greatest knight in Spain.

What a cool song. Had a little ragtime feel. Loved your lyrics. Well sung and well played...

Hi Bob...

What a fabulous song! A new genre...Pop-Dixieland? Ha! Great use of BIAB and loved the lyric. One thought crossed my mind as I was listen...maybe cut back just a wee bit in the vocal treble. That's probably more of a personal preference for sound than it is a nit.

Regardless, that was one fabulous listen. We're still smiling and the song quit playing 3 or 4 minutes ago! Totally loved it! Best to you...

Hi, Bob !:))


This tune of yours made me smile
which surely also was your intention,
to make people feel good !:))
I enjoyed it very much !:))

Cheers
Dani

Tuba time!!! How cool is that?

Dulcinea del Toboso & Sancho Panza -- you might go a while before you hear them referenced again in a song.

This is a fine tune to my ears all the way around. The lyric is clever, the band is perfect for the lyric/melody, the vocal is spot on, the mix of the dixieland instruments rings authentic and it all sounds fantastic on my monitors.

Another one for the playlist. Thanks!

Tuba Time? Yes, my thoughts exactly. A nice blend of Trad, lyrics with a twist, a bit of fun, all delivered in a neat song. I missed the Wash Board...

Hi Bob,

I can't say it better than Bud, he nailed it:

Thanks for an enjoyable listen.

Move over Mr. Newman! (And I don't mean Alfred E.)

WAY better than the book!!!!

Bob, Love the vocal treatment. Very well written and recorded. I like everything about this. Keep up the good work. It's a pleasure listening to you. Tom

Hi Bob
A great 20's feel to this and the treble on the mic helps in this regard.
Great fun.
I dont know about Don Quixote but I've had some great nights in Spain!!
Very enjoyable.

Tommy, Ian,

Thanks for listening and the kind remarks.

I added this to a large fav play list that we stream while traveling. About half way through today's day trip Don Quixote came up. Thanks Bob for the big smiles it put on our faces.

Bud and Janice,

Glad you got a laugh out of it.

Regards,

Bob

Hi Bob.

Wonderfully atmospheric song.

Inspired choice of subject. Like Floyd, I much preferred it to the book (which I still haven't finished after many years).

Terrific vocals, arrangement and mix. Really enjoyed it.

ROG.

ROG,

Thanks. Just a bit of fluff. I really wanted to try out some of the Dixieland styles, and I thought - Don Quixote - that's Dixie!


Regards,


Bob

the effects and the vocal are spot on

I just loved the lyrics and the song style!

Thanks man. Appreciate it. Having fun with BIAB. What other computer program do you have that constantly puts a smile on your face?

Bob

Bob,

I apologise for being so late in getting to this one. I love it! Words that came to mind were "clever", "quirky", "very creative", "excellently written", "perfect performance", "great production".

I've always suspected it but now I know for sure that your talent knows no bounds!

Wonderful stuff!

All the best,
Noel

Noel,

Thanks for the kind words.

Regards,


Bob

That's just too much fun! Clever, sir, very clever.

Really enjoyed the old time feel of the song.

Ha, a lot of fun tune indeed.

Mike B.

Oleman, Mike,

Thanks for listening and commenting. Like the Doc says, just having fun with BIAB.

Bob

Not quite sure just how I feel about you placing that character in a near-western scenario like that, but hey - at least you knew the story right!

Hi, very very different and quite enjoyable. Good job.

Nels

Thanks......I think.

Hi Bob,

very cool song! Style is very well-chosen.
I love the FX on the vocal, very well sung by the way!

Regards,
Rob

Nels - thanks.


Regards,

Bob

Glad this was revived. I missed it first time around. This is nice, cleverly crafted lyrics. A fun listen.


Charlie

Rob - thanks for the kind remarks. I don't know how this stupid thing got bumped, but I guess I'll have to live with it.


Regards,

Bob
