A little shanty about the Gloucester fishermen. All RT's.

The Fisherman's Daughter

©2013 Robert Randall Burke


Heave-ho
Mind how you go
If you want to make it to Gloucester
Hold fast
Pull with your last
And you'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

The summer was long way out on the Banks
We've come about, heading for home
Safe ashore, he'll wander no more
For he'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

The lighthouse will welcome us home from the sea
The wives will be waitin' ashore
This will be the last trip for thee
For you'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

Trust in God
And a hold full of cod
The Banks never seen such a slaughter
With brass in our pockets
And a girl on each arm
But he'll marry the fisherman's daughter.


The summer was long way out on the Banks
We've come about, heading for home
Safe ashore, he'll wander no more
For he'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

Mr. Robert Randall Burke,

You step it up a bit more each time.

One of the best mixes I've heard here. Ever. The writing is gorgeous. "We've come about" by itself would make this well written. The vocal is beautiful - one leg and a quilt, I imagine.

What drum style is that? All RTs? you had to have played the opening lead instrument (what is it?). And where do the strings come from? I can't find the seagull track...

Not sure it gets any better than this.

Thanks for the kind remarks Floyd. Here are the RT's (I didn't use the fiddle):


Key=C , Tempo 135, Length (m:s)=2:57
No intro. 130 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 130. Repeat x1 chorus
No Melody
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Style is _POPWLZ2.STY (Pop Waltz w/ Piano and Fiddle)

RealTracks in style: ~1178:Bass, Electric, PopWaltz Ev 120
RealTracks in style: ~1188:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopWaltz Ev 120
RealTracks in style: ~1182:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming PopWaltz Ev 120
RealTracks in style: ~1179:Fiddle, Background PopWaltz Ev 120
RealDrums in style: PopRockWaltzEv,SideStickHat,Ride: a: Sidestick. HiHat b: PopRockWaltzEv,SideStickHat,Ride


The lead instrument in the beginning is a harp from Garritan, the strings were Garritan as well.


It's not easy singing while standing on one leg with a quilt over one's head.

Bob

Aye and adding another +1.

(Plus an extra aye for balancing on the one leg with the quilt over his head. )

They said it all. I can only be redundant. It works melodically, lyrically, RealTrack choice and mix wise. It's all there and then some. Well done....very well done!!

Great job!! Your voice reminds me so much of Gordon Lightfoot. And, this song is right up there with his "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald". Loved it.

Hi Bob,

I'm late to catch up with your latest song! I'm so glad I didn't miss it. It's truly excellent. There's a clarity to the production on this one that really has the stamp of "mega-professional". I really enjoyed listening to it. The natural minor mode always appeals to me.

All the best,
Noel

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
