This kind of a blues/funk tune. Now the wife 's really not talking to me. Oops.

My vocals and guitar.

Recorded in Pro Logic9 and mastered in Ozone5.

Thanks in advance to all that take the time to listen and comment. I really appreciate the feedback.

nice tune..... more of blues jazz funk style tune. I like the unison vox.

nicely crafted lyrics.

clean picking.... with a slightly brittle sound to the tone.

Oh yeah... you're really gonna stack up the points by calling her a "drama queen"..... lol....

Enjoyed the song. I think most couples have experienced what you sing about in their lifetime. Without communication things stay the same. Excellent singing and playing...

Tommy,

You got the voice for this kind of tune, man. I especially enjoyed the octave down unison parts. Very cool. Could use a bigger, brasher ending, IMHO.

Tommy,

If this song was a jigsaw puzzle, every piece fits perfectly in its proper place and its looking good.

As floyd and aleck have already said, the vocal duo you do with yourself is great. I also agree with aleck about the ending. Something bigger sounding would be worth trying if you ever revisit the arrangement.

Other than that, you kept my interest levels on high from start to finish.

All the best,
Noel

Herb, Scott, and Dani, Everthing is cool with the wife. After all it's just a song. Thanks for listening and commenting.
Aleck and Noel, I think a different ending is a good idea. I always struggle with the available endings and find it difficult to find natural sounding ways to end a song. Thanks for the kind comments. Tom

very enjoyable and laid back song, everything fits perfectly.
Endings are very difficult to do with Real Styles...they either work or don't , no in between IMHO.

My take on the ending is a slow fade out with a guitar solo.

Tom,

Nice guitar work (as always) and an interesting switch for you...
Good mix. I think a long fade with that guitar "doing the talking" would have been a perfect way to end this one...

I enjoyed this all the way around...the unison is a different twist and the mix works well to support the vocals. Nice.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
