Hi folks, Just finished this little song called “Foreman for Murphy” about a guy who goes to work on a building site in London on the advice of his friend but ends up exploiting everyone in order to further his own ambitions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmQ8wvzg2z8&feature=plcp____________________________ Its an all midi style with realdrums -nnsh ^ 09.sty Nashville Shuffle I step edited the notes for the intro and verse accordion in the notation edit window, not perfect but passable I think  _____________________________ Hope you might give it a listen, and comments gratefully appreciated Thanks very much Musiclover

Thanks Josie, unfortunately working on building sites in the past was very much like this, hard working men during the day at the mercy of a ganger or foreman, and then when the days work was done it was either back to a lonely bedsit or downing about a dozen pints in the pub to get rid of the loneliness. Hope everything is going well for you and your songwriting. musiclover

yeah, I liked that line too! It calls for a new meter:
S A C K - O - M E T E R
RANT________/_RAVE
Great storytelling! Storytelling used to be the mainstay of folk music, but its not as common as it once was. But I like it. The closest thing I've heard on this side of the pond is the Cape Breton style of storytellin' songs. (Seems like everybody from Cape Breton has a story to tell)
And if your song is all MIDI, I have to comment on the accordion! Sounded great to my ears!
And one last thought: if you're from the UK, you should put that in your BIO so it shows up when you post.I like the fact that we have such an international group here on the forum. Let it be known!
thanks for posting!

Thanks Pat. love your Sack-O-Meter, you should patent that idea The accordion is accordion 2 in GM2 I think, that style has a nice rhythm accordion so it was just a matter of putting in a lot of triplet notes as a soloist part, can't read music very well so its a bit of an experiment trying it out, thanks to everyone who give me advice on the biab forum on how to enter notes in the notation. I use the vsc dxi with windows 32 bit as I like that synth. Realtracks are great too, but its nice to be able to be able to edit the midi part as above. musiclover

Very nice! And I agree, the accordion really works. I also really enjoy story songs.

Thanks very much for your comments Steve and Mike. I probably should correct myself that its an all midi style except for real druns, as I probably thought that for some reasons the drums don't count as part of the style, I think they do give a more live feeling to things.

Big smile here! Reminder that there are, in fact, interesting every-day situations that one can write about and create something interesting...after all, we can't (most of us) fall in love, out of love, etc. everyday!

Good song. The accordion sounds surprisingly real! I like the storyline and the song builds nicely - I was half-expecting the story to run out of steam but you surprised me: it actually got even better as it went along.

#TipTuesday - The Band-in-a-Box® 2020 Feature Browser
Don't forget about the new Feature Browser added to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac! (and Windows)
This feature is GREAT to help you locate a feature within the program!
How does it work? Access this feature by clicking on the [?] button on the main screen of the program or pressing the / Enter keys on the Chord Sheet. This dialog lists many features of the program and allows you to browse them, find the feature by text filter, read descriptions about the feature, find how to launch the feature, access to the online information or video about the feature, and do more.
Examples of a few situations where this feature is helpful:
-You know about a feature but don't know how to find it. Just type a part of the feature name and you'll see the hotkeys, menu, and toolbar info on how to launch it. For example, if you want to launch the Chord Builder but don’t know how to do it, type "builder" in the text filter, and you will quickly find the Chord Builder.
-You are exploring available features for Band-in-a-Box. For example, if you are a guitar player, type the word "guitar" and you'll see what's available.
-You prefer "one-stop-shopping" and would like to launch features from the same dialog.
-You are learning the program and like to browse or watch videos about topics you're interested in.
-You can't remember hotkeys and want to review them.
Read more about this new feature here, or watch the video.
