Hi,dear friends !:)) As many of you know I am a barbershopper (lol) ! One day at rehearsal she (Rebecca) just appeared from nowhere and electrified the whole venue !:) (lol) Now she sings barbershop tenor in my quartet !:)) Yesterday my son played a small part (all that was left) from a refrain I had recorded some 30 years back. Nothing was left of the actual song or tune. I remember I initially liked the refrain but could not get back the melody so I started to work a song around that old refrain. You will be the judge of how it will fare. Here is the song about sweet Rebecca !:)) http://app.box.com/s/koq1q97g3xovdz1qsham http://soundcloud.com/dani-lindroos/rebeccaStyle: CONSHPS Country Shuffle (139) RT Recorded thru zoom H4n to Mixcraft 6 Here are the lyrics: REBECCA (Music and words by Dani) Who´s that Lady? That lovely Lady who just stepped into our class of Bshop singing guys and gals what if I, maybe? If I just maybe dare to ask her if she´d join my good ol´quartet singing pals Ref Oh Becca, Becca, Becca dear, if you please! sing each piece with that ease you´re known for and please, don´t forget how to tease us with scones and good cheese that make us wish for an encore She speaks Italian but she´s american and she says that there is Indian blood all running thru her veins She´s no rapscallion no female stallion but all the guys will fall for her as queenly she them reigns Ref Oh Becca, Becca, Becca dear, if you please! sing each piece with that ease you´re known for and please, don´t forget how to tease us with scones and good cheese that make us wish for an encore Bridge We wish you´d be here to stay and never, never, ever go away But you shan´t worry and don´t feel sorry for the day will come when we will have to part, as you must leave but there´s no hurry no need for blurry eyes as there´ll be time enough still for comrades old to grieve Ref Oh Becca, Becca, Becca dear, if you please! sing each piece with that ease you´re known for and please, don´t forget how to tease us with scones and good cheese that make us wish for an encore © Dani Lindroos 2013

Hey Dani
Another great one. Nice country feel. Some interesting chord choices.

Good one

Hi, Ian ! (lol)!
Thank you buddy for your nice comment !
She calls us everything:
We (me and the other old guys) have so far been called
at least scoundrels, rapscallions, scalawags
miscreants and a lot more...... (lol)
Maybe she is right ? maybe we really are all those
things ??? (chuckle) !! But she ain´t no scalawag herself
I can assure you !
Cheers
Dani

dani,
Nice job on this! A great, tight harmony from start to finish.
Cool instrumentation. Good mix - although the drums could come up some - this is the type of song that works well for that..
I enjoyed your song.

Hi Danny,
I love 12/8 time. We don't hear it that often any more. Having just listened to "And I Knew I Loved You", the change was very significant.
Very entertaining. You certainly have been incredibly productive with song writing. If I could write half as many, I'd be very happy!
All the best,
Noel

Hi, Noel,dear friend !
Thank you for your most kind comment !:))
If 12/8 = shuffle then okay ! I have always
loved shuffle rhytm and I am sure I had
a couple of shuffle tunes on my 92 record.
I may have been productive but I am quite
drained now when closing up to Xmas !
I think I need a litle vacation (lol) !!
Usually quantity looses out to quality so....
.....I am not sure that it is so very difficult to
come up with a tune with a program like this, to me it seems
to be much more difficult to come up with the lyrics, not being the great Hal David !!:))
A Merry Xmas to you too Noel !
Cheers
Dani

Hi, Dean !:))
Yeah, you are right !!It really is a
dancing beat !!!(lol) !
But to be honest, when I started on this I
did not have the slightest idea about
what style to choose, I only had a small
portion of the old refrain. I am glad
you liked it, old friend ! and I want
to wish you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year
even if we should be in contact before that !:))
Cheers
Dani

How I Use Band-in-a-Box® to Create Shots/Chops
Band-in-a-Box® user Henry Clarke creates a lot of great songs with Band-in-a-Box®, and he's shared his steps for creating the shots/chops within his recent song Lonely in a Crowd.
To watch Henry's video, click here.

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?
Band-in-a-Box® 2020 Portuguese for Windows is Here!
Existem mais de 50 novos recursos no Band-in-a-Box® 2020! Existem aprimoramentos no RealTracks (RealTracks vocais com som mais suave, RealTracks Engrossados, Substitutos de RealTracks e MultiFrases). A maioria dos RealDrums agora possui RealCharts (com notação de bateria precisa). Há um novo navegador de artistas do RealTracks para encontrar informações/biografias/links/listas de RealTracks em todos os artistas. Um novo Navegador de recursos permite que o usuário novo ou "esquecido" encontre e use facilmente a maioria dos recursos/teclas de atalho/documentos em uma única janela. Equalizar Tempoaprimoramentos na Seleção de Músicas, baixo/bateria ou apenas bateria nas introduções automáticas, 3.400 títulos adicionados, aprimoramentos no MusicXML, visualização de guitarra para "Canhotos" e "Estudantes", aprimoramentos de arrastar e soltar, exibição de várias janelas do Interpretador de Acordes de Áudio e muito mais!
COMPRE/ATUALIZE, & BAIXE AGORA!
Band-in-a-Box® 2019 Mac Update Ready!
Just because Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac is here doesn't mean we've forgotten our 2019 users!
If you're still using Band-in-a-Box® 2019, make sure you download the latest patch update (b324) for an updated splash screen (macOS 10.12 and 10.13 users), smoother Song Titles dialog, access to your (purchased) RealTracks Set 328, and we've corrected the reported issue with opening songs from older versions of Band-in-a-Box in the 2019 version.
Learn more about this patch and download it here.
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!

My New Favorite Thing - Extra Style PAK #9 with Loop Pack #2
I set up an eight bar progression with some simple pushes, shots, holds, and rests for reference. Then I started auditioning styles--Three hours later, I am invigorated, inspired, and just plain smiling big. Really CHOICE! From "down to earth" to eclectic, this is a really fun pak.
Great job, folks!
