Another one to be proud of Floyd and Janice!
What can I say...a perfect fit of singer and song. I might have sped it up a hair but that's just me. Beautiful vocal inflection as the song goes on Janice. One of your best imho.

Hi Floyd.
You're just a big softy at heart, aren't you? I got all choked up listening to this one!
I hope you put something nice in the mail to Janice, 'cos she really did you proud on this track. A fabulous song and a spot-on backing for Janice to sing to. Another one from the country chart.
ROG.
Thanks ROG, I'm checking the mail everyday! Floyd, sensational. Really nice listening, and Janice has done an absolutely marvelous job with vocals and harmonies.
That song has received Justice by Janice.
Your work is always fantastic. This is certainly no exception.
Thanks for sharing
Trevor Thank you very much Trevor. That was very kind. Hi Floyd (and Janice),
you've done it again. I love your stories.
A great production.
And I've never heard Janice singing so powerfully.
An enjoyment, indulgence, pleasure, relish to listen.
Guenter
Thanks Guenter. I'm delighted that you enjoyed it. I had to really push it to keep up with floyd!
Floyd and Janice
All I can say is WOW WOW WOW. Absolutely outstanding. Janice's vocals really suit the style of this one. I hear an inkling of Linda Rohnstad in there...Love the sentiment and the arrangement. Keep them coming...
That was very nice of you to mention me and Linda in the same paragraph! I can only wish....Thanks again and best to you on your upcoming project! Another excellent jane/Merritt production.
(Note to self: Add to 2014 Fj Bootleg CD)
Regards,
Bob Thanks Bob -- he's an easy fellow to work with.

Dani - thanks for the listen!
Scott - appreciate it....
Josie - thanks. The tempo on this one is a tough choice. 2 bpm makes a HUGE difference in the overall feel of the song - mostly how the words "sing" - and the emotions that they impart. It ended up at 80. 82 felt a bit rushed. Went back and forth several times. At some point, you just have to make a decision.... appreciate the input...

Hi Janice and floyd,
I believe that you've both outdone yourselves this time.
Janice, for the life of me, I cannot imagine how this song could be sung any better by anyone. Full stop (that's Australian for 'period'). I agree with Sundance when she said, "perfect fit of singer and song".
Floyd, this is a wonderful story. The way that you've taken the theme of an old car and have driven it along such a great lyrical journey is testimony to just how talented you are. The melody of "That Old Car" is very poignant and especially well supported by the underlying harmony you've chosen.
I have say that the way that the lyric entered the chorus at the end of each verse really made the first line of the chorus feel very satisfying to listen to. I bet that Janice felt that when she sang it, too. Framing the chorus by ending with the first line is excellent. It boosts the believability factor of the song's character big time. It is so very easy to picture the child/woman sitting at the wheel of the car hoping for it to start.
I'm sitting here on my fourth or fifth listen (I'm just guessing because I haven't been keeping count) and, right now, I'm thinking "This is such an incredibly satisfying musical journey. How has he managed to do that?"
I'll just keep on pondering!
All the best,
Noel

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."
