Some where in the archives this song is here, but I guess it is all the way back in 2011. I decided it needed an electric and Sam was visiting, so I had him lay down a track. I also wanted some extra vocals, but we ran out of time. He didn't finish, so I laid in some patched guitar parts. Hopefully over the next 2-4 weeks I can have him do the whole guitar part again. It is originally from 50/90 2011.

Hey Kevin I really enjoyed that. I love that laid back while rough and ready vibe that you manage to get in your songs. You make it look so easy (I am sure it isn't easy though!!). I think the layered vocals are great.
Loved it.

Somehow I accidentally triggered "A little bit of love" first and I'm glad I did! Really nice work! I then found "Alchemy"-also wonderful. I really love your organic style. It feels like it's out of my favorite era. Fantastic stuff!! Keep it up. Take care. Greg

cool tune...I was trying to remember what that song reminded me of.... maybe I'll remember later.

Do people dislike comparisons? Well, I can't help it. Old Crow Medicine Show came to mind as I listened to this organic Americana tune. I dig the genre and I dig this song!

kevin,
You manage to get that Singer-Songwriter attitude in your music better than anyone I know. Every time I listen to one of your songs, I get the feeling your right across the porch from me and picking your butt off and singing away! Great stuff!

Kevin,
Always enjoy hearing your stuff. The guitars were denser than your usual... the trumpet was a very nice surprise! It worked well!

Well that was unexpected! I like where you went with it Kevin. Cool trumpets are they RTs?

JosieC: Thanks for the listen. I do sound rough and raggedy at times -- and that is hard with BIAB keeping such a perfect 4/4/ beat on bass and drums (ha, ha).
Greg: How did you get to "Little Bit of Love"? Thanks for sticking with it and playing this one, too. It is always appreciated.
Herb: The two main chords are the same as in my recent "Bup-Bup" song (different key) -- maybe that's it (ha, ha). Thanks for stopping on by.
Dani: Thanks for listening and the kind words. Always nice wehn folks take the time to listen and comment.
oleman: I never mind comparisons, I always look at it as a compliment. Thanks for stopping on by and giving it a spin.
Al: Hard to know what I would sound like if I never discovered BIAB, but it has helped me reach sounds that I never would have without. Whether that is good or not is always open for debate!
Floyed: I think at times there were 4 acoustics munching along (normally just 2, though). I may try and EQ my guitar (right) a bit and see if it is clearer. Thanks for the listen!
Sundance: Yea, the trumpet is RT # 1070, but I don't know what patch I used for the trombone. Thanks for listening and commenting!

Wow! This is a really enjoyable song. So much going on but w/o bogging down the song. That's not easy to do. I understand Olemon's comment re OCMS - it does have that vibe...but there's a lot more happening, e.g., the trumpet. And the lyric? Well, I never thought there could be another good play on "chemistry" in a song but then along comes "alchemy" which is both clever and catchy.
Great production!

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."
