Thats the way it was when we were young, never be the same ever again. Grandpa played the trumpet as he always did. I played the comb bye his side. Grandma played the organ and the rest would sing. Never be the same ever again. Chorus ........................................................................... Sitting round the organ singing songs. Reminisce of days long since gone.

And you executed it VERY well IMO. Do you perform live? If not, I'm thinking you'd go over real well at restaurants or any other venue where entire families congregate.

No trumpet, but piano, organ, jew's harp, harmonica. 6 kids, loving parents helping to teach us about music and life. Your vocals, are very relaxed and tell the story great. Thanks for you hard work and sharing! _________________________ FrankB Down The Street vs2015 12-03-2014 Win7, AMD QuadA8-5500,16GB,2TeraHD, Komplete 10 PG Ultra Plus 2016,Alesis 12USB, Sonar Platinum

I'd guess the song in the intro is an old Gospel hymn called "Bringing In The Sheaves." _________________________ My New Song Mercy My Song Walking Streets Of Gold passes 6K YT views! My Soundcloud

I obtained a "New used" set of Logitech Z-5300 speakers. My new sub is a bit on the strong side not your music, but just love the "Lefts" and "Rights" speakers. You recording is crystal clear over these speakers. The instruments all have their spots in the song. Liked the sound better than my ATH-40M Studio phones. BTW, your base to me sounded just right for the song. The trumpet really is a nice touch. On the third listen right now. Thanks for you nice music.

Band-in-a-Box® - What People Are Saying...

Wow, check out the latest feedback from Band-in-a-Box® users!

"I have one song I've been torturing over to get the sound right for quite some time and I merely keyed in the chords and what BB generated is awesome. Just what I hoped that song would sound like. What had taken me months to get right (and couldn't), the program could do in about an hour - AMAZING!"

"Great Ear Training Exercises! And I love that that you can set the tempo to whatever you choose. It's great for learning a tune!"

"A very good and easy to use musical program!"

"It's amazingly easy to use! Write a song? No problem! Add background sound track to a video? No problem! Put notes on a staff and have BB make up a chord progression and tell what key you are in? No problem! Start with a chord progression and have BB make a melody line? No problem!"

"Still the best practice tool I have found, great for running lines, improvising over and really helpful for working on song writing ideas as well! Good for beginners, and the more musical skill and knowledge you have the more you will get out of the software."

"I create demo songs with Band-in-a-Box, it helps me to get my ideas across to my engineer!"

"Been using Band-in-a-Box for years. Outstanding product from a great company!"

"It's like buying a Musical History Jukebox. It comes with probably 3000 styles and is like hiring session musicians to play rhythm with you, they even have soloists! It introduces you to so many types of rhythms that you other wise would know nothing about. "

"Paul McCartney said you gotta have a great band behind you. Well, Band-in-a-Box is my band."

"It's as easy as typing in the chords, choosing your style, instruments, etc., and off you go! Learning the tune? You can slow it down while you work on it then speed it up. My favorite analogy is a good chess program, which will play at your speed and level and is eternally patient!"

"I love my Band in a box, it does so much! Besides all the RealTracks and song ideas, it's a great tool to stay sharp with your licks. Social distancing got you down? Can't jam with friends? Pick out any song and go to the mixer button, there you can mute any instrument that's playing so you can jump right in and play along!"

"I love it. I'm a drummer, and Band-in-a-Box really keeps me on my toes!"

"The DAW plugin is really great. Trust me on this. I use it with Studio One.

"This is how I've been able to gig solo for the past 20 years. Band-in-a-Box is the great equalizer for us none rhythm players."

"Wouldn't want to be without it! One of the best things I bought in my life. Simple as that."

"As a songwriter I really love to work with Band-in-a-Box. The only limitation is your own creativity."

"I've used Band-in-a-Box for 25 years and thanks to this program and the advice of PG Music staff I've written over 100 songs. It's great software and amazing help to me as a musician. CONGRATS!!!"

Thank you for all the amazing feedback!
