Hello, Just started uploading my songs to my YouTube Channel, along with slideshows of some shots from my front porch here in the Smokey Mountains. This song has fingerstyle acoustic guitar, bass, pedal steel, and drums. I spend most of my time running 3 or 4 tracks of pedal steel and auditioning each measure, and cut and pasting to best fit around my vocals. thanks for listening.

Martin,
having listened to several of your songs, I want to say that I like your personal adaptations of western NC mountain music. Asheville is a great place for musicians... artsy and the mountains are awe inspiring. I hope to live there some day.
I look forward to hearing more of your music. I'm in NC too... maybe we'll cross paths one day

Hi Martin, I like this song. Good backing tracks (great job on the steel guitar) and lyrics. Of course I like your country voice.
However on this song I think your vocals have to come up. They seem buried in the mix and hard to hear at times.
Just my two cents.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Martin,
Really like your nice, gentle not forced vocals. Great lyrics, simple but every word tells a story. As Mario commented good backing tracks, Like the finger picking intro and thru-out the song, the pedal steel level adds but not too heavy, great ending with it.
Thanks for your hard work and sharing with us all.
More Please !

Thanks Pat for digging this up. I figured after this first submittal, put up 3 weeks ago, hit the 3rd page with no comments, it wasn't worth commenting on, and was buried forever. If you are ever over this way give me a call. Asheville is great, but I had to wait until I semi-retired to get here.
MarioD, I appreciate the feedback on my vocal level. Just wondering, what you and others listen thru when on this board? PC speakers, headphones, ear buds, nearfields, etc? Maybe I need to start referencing my mixes thru more than my 6" KRK's and a pair of cheap 5" Polk's that I have.
Seeker, On my YT page with this song there is one more I haven't posted here yet. I might put it up here next week. thanks

Martin, Thanks for posting this song. I was out of commission for several weeks and missed this one. Good job. I agree with Mario, your voice is a little too far back in the mix. I like the song. Steve

Hey Martin, I like this song too. It's got a great feel. But it's too hard to hear the lyrics clearly. So I'll add a +1 to the turn up your vox a little bit. Josie

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."
