Come back with me there's a place I know I have bin there in my dre-eams to describe in words is impossible I kno-ow listen to me the sun is rising hi-igh no tomorrow the week is all toda-ay you can find it come back with me la la la la la oh come back with me please come back with me smile a while and see ooh it's a good trip you will see-ee worldly holdings fall need no money just bring yourse-elf you can take it don't even start to try-iy but you can make it as long as there's a smi-ile then there is love come back with me come back with me la la la la la come back with me oh please come back with me SOLO I won't take you if you don't want to go-o 'cos your the 1st one I really want to kno-ow now there is love come back with me la la la la la oh come back with me please come back with me RealTracks in style: ~~921:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 110 RealTracks in song: ~923:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BossaFreeComp Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 924:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BossaGrooveComp Ev 110 RealTracks in style: ~~925:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Bossa Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 708:Guitar, Nylon-Elec, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 RealDrums in style: BossaBrushes#1: a: Brushes b: BusyBrushes RealTracks in song: ~~896:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock Ev 100 RealDrums in style: BossaTerryClarke^4-a:Brushes, Busy , b:Shaker I sampled the brush hit and added it in a few places to liven things up!Same with another RealDrum sample, forget which, in the solo. I used the Chord track for the arpeggiated sounds using Plex free and Proteus VX free. Extra bass notes courtesy of UVI workstation free. I played some rhythm guitar and the solo which was the 1st and only take, after a few dry runs. ******************* I was a Dental student in London and this song is about the competition we, the lads, had to see how many nurses, in a 15 week term, we could get back to our rooms for cough coffee and it usually WAS coffee _________________________ My showcase songs My story

You've certainly been very inventive with your use of Realstuff in this mix. Like gruverider, I appreciated the background story. I listened before I read the story and, for what it's worth, the theme works on a number of levels and one of those is the innocence of the early days of a relationship and falling in love. It's a very universal theme. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to listen again. Hope your recuperation is progressing well. Best wishes, Noel _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO

My mini stroke has now been downgraded and the cardiologists say it is now stress related to my original heart attack and bypass in 2008....anyway! I love your interpretation of the theme as I never remembered it in that innocent manner! ALTHO' I recently re-met one of the nurses from those days and we are now rekindling our appreciation of each other.She drinks tea by the way. I will post many more songs with the stories attached over the coming weeks/months. best wishes Alyn _________________________ My showcase songs My story

I love your lyrics and the song is very evocative of that time - I think I went through a similar period in my youth! And, of course, I was always going to like anything with LaLaLa in it. Hope the recovery keeps going well. ROG. _________________________ Free online guitar lessons. Cours de guitare gratuit en ligne.

The stress I have is NHS related, you have heard the term whistleblower, well now you know/have met an accidental one....me vs NHS Wales! And boy, music is certainly a good tonic for my sanity....Thanks Peter G for BIAB.. Yes us musicians tended to have similar-ish periods in our youth... A few things I regret but not many tho!!!! Guenter, Thanks for the compliment that my voice sounds young, wish I looked young. I recorded the vox last year at 62. Sundance, Thanks I love doing the ad-lib vocals. A few years back a neighbour rushed round to check I was OK as she heard me screaming and shouting stuff and thought I was being attacked! I then made a mental note to close ALL the windows in my house before doing vocals LOL Alyn _________________________ My showcase songs My story

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Windows

Make sure to check out the latest Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Windows review from Sound-Guy (Dennis) at www.gearslutz.com: click here.

Sound-Guy has been using Band-in-a-Box® for many, many, many, many, many years - and we still managed to surprise him with some great new features! Read his latest review to learn more about his favorite additions for 2020!

"Band-in-a-Box continues to evolve as an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to produce not only new compositions and arrangements, but also perform them with excellent musical “talent”. It also provides educational and training tools for keyboardists and guitarists. It’s easy to use the basic functions, and challenging enough to keep you occupied for years. BIAB provides education, inspiration, a “live” band to aid in practicing, and anything from backing tracks to full performances for recording."

Uncommon RealTracks Instruments for Band-in-a-Box®

Today is Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day.

Examples of "uncommon instruments" include anything from Spoons to the Wheelharp to the Singing Ringing Tree, and more!
(there's probably more instruments out there that we DON'T know than we DO know)

Although our RealTracks collection doesn't include many 'uncommon instruments', we do offer some pretty unique choices!

On top of the usual varieties we offer for Piano, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Bass, Tuba, Trumpet, Trombone, and more - our RealTracks library also offers a nice selection of Shakuhachi and Kalimba - there's even a Koto RealTrack included in Set 212!

Kalimba: RealTracks Set 271
Koto: RealTracks Set 212
Shakuhachi: RealTracks Sets 193 & 212

What's the most surprising RealTrack Instrument that you've come across?

Review - Loops-with-Style PAK 2 for Band-in-a-Box® 2020

"Dr. Dave" Walker is at it again! You may remember his recent reviews of both Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac and Xtra Styles PAK 9 - now he has something to say about our Loops-with-Style PAK 2 - check it out: Click here to read...

With money being tight for most musicians, this is a wonderful gift for those on a limited budget. At $29, it offers months and years of fun and experimentation, bringing many ideas to fruition as songs with enough variation so that your audience doesn’t jump to "aw, that's a computer!" while still keeping the power of the software in your hands.
-"Dr. Dave" Walker

Thank you again Dr. Dave for the great review!
