I wrote and recorded this one a few years back. I added the strings from BIAB (midi 49 Strings). I played a somewhat different style back then but I've always liked this one. Thanks in advance for your time and any comments you might have.

Here's the Soundclick link. This cut doesn't have the BIAB strings but it sounds 95% the same.

We're not the biggest fans of Soundcloud. We've had ongoing and relentless problems getting songs to play - sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Soundcloud has no suggestion what the problem might be. Hopefully it will play for you when you click onto it. If not, let us know and we'll post the Soundclick link. If anyone is wondering, I played this on a Fender Tele through a Peavey Nashville 112 amp.

I could not get SC to load your page or the song -- just hung up. I've also had a ton of problems with them including bad quality when it works. Been hosting our songs on our website lately.

I'll try again I later today. .

And most importantly, hope Di is doing better!!

Hi Everyone ...

Thanks for the kind comments. Will be back late tonight to answer everyone. We're headed out of town to watch our grandson play in a baseball tournament.

Also, I posted the Soundclick link to the song since J*B couldn't get the Soundcloud link to play (I have that problem all the time!). The only difference between the Soundclick link and the Soundcloud link is the Soundclick link doesn't have the extra BIAB strings I applied to the Soundcloud version. The applied BIAB strings (Instrument: 49 Strings) are very subtle and the Soundclick version is 95% the same ... the other music is identical.

See ya tonight. And thanks for the kind thoughts about Di's respiratory ailments. We both truly appreciate everyone's thoughts and kindness.

Al & Di

Hi Al
Martini for ONE - how sad a thought is that. Smooth piece of playing there, Al.
Sensitive fingerwork and neat chord progression.
Great late night Mood piece. Loved it!

HI Joanne,

Thank you for your time to listen and the very nice comments. I'm delighted you enjoyed the guitar playing. I don't play a lot in that style anymore, kind of updAted my approach. But maybe I should keep close behind the new efforts! Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!

Janice and Bud,

Sorry it didn't play for you - that happens to us frequently, so we don't use Soundcloud very much. We included a link to the Soundclick version, which is nearly identical. We appreciate the effort to listen! Best to both of you. And thanks for the kind thoughts regarding Di.

Hello Greg,

Thank you for those very kind comments! The composing part was much more difficult than the playing part. The guitar track was done in just two takes. But it took me almost two weeks to get the chords the way i wanted them and then decide which parts would be played on the piano and which parts would be played on the guitar. Although I'm not real happy with the drums, I no longer have that music program, so can't go back and change them. But, all in all, i think it came out pretty decent.

Thanks again! Best to you ...

Di & Al

Set up a BOX.com account. I have used Box for a few things and like it pretty nicely. Unlike soundcloud and soundclick, I believe people need to have the specific link to the song to hear it on Box......whereas anyone can drop in to your other sites and hear the music......Of course, that depends if you want them to be able to do that....or not.


Drinking alone again? They have an organization that helps with that.


Seriously, a good song. Very enjoyable listen.

I listened to the soundcloud version -- nice playing! Swap out the drums, though, with some real drums and it will sound even better.

Hi, Ian ...

So glad you enjoyed this one! As I mentioned to someone else, the playing was relatively simple ... but the original composition was very demanding. But, all in all, it came out decent. I've been gifted with a soft touch on the strings and I'm very thankful for that. It's served me well over the years.

Thanks again for all the very kind words!

Al (and Di)

Thanks so much, Scott! I don't have that Tele any more ... wish I did. I could get some great tones with it through that amp (still have the amp, though!). Sure so appreciate the listen and very kind words! Best to you,

Hello Herb!

So glad you liked it! It's one of our favorite genres to both write and perform.

I'll continue to use Soundclick for most of my/our work as I have a number of folks who drop in for a listen every time I post something new. Sending all of them a direct link would be a bit tine-consuming. They're not, for the most part, from just one or two sites. They're just individuals who seem to like my music - gotta love 'em foe that! But I might check ojut Box just to have an alternative I can count on. Thanks!

Hi Kevin!

A;ways a sincere pleasure to hear from you. I'm extremely happy the song works for you and the playing was pleasant to your ears. And yeah, I mentioned to someone else in an earlier reply that the drums pretty much suck. The problem I have is that I no longer have that old program, thus I don't have the individual tracks. So, I cannot strip[ out the drums and replace them with "real" drums frown. All I have is the final sterao mix-down.

Thanks for the kind words! We've known each other quite a few years and I always value your input. best to you, my friend.

Al (and Di)

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."
