This song was created on a different music program several years ago. On the chorus I added BIAB strings on the Choruses so I could post it here in good conscience!) The lyric is total nonsense but so danged much fun! Di wrote the lyric to this one and I wrote the music. One more note - the very short acoustic lead guitar riff really sucks! There's a long story about why it came out like it did but I won't bore you with it. I've been too lazy, and lately too busy, to go back and redo it. But, I will in time. And if I can find a similar BIAB style, we'll redo the whole song. So far, I've not found a similar Reggae beat/style in BIAB. Di literally wrote the lyric for this in less than 30 minutes. I was messing around with the music on my guitar and she said, "I like that. I have an idea for a lyric." And she did - in less than 30 minutes! And amazingly, the lyric is her first draft, not a single word changed! I'm impressed. So, here you go with a total nonsensical song that we feel is a lot of fun. Perhaps we should send this to the folks who make Jello brand gelatin? BIAB Midi Track Instrument 50: Slow Strings. Everything else from a different program. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11074563Strawberry Jello (v1) My Baby knows what to do When I’m sad and blue He don’t bring me candy or flowers He brings me colors from a rainbow He knows how to make me smile He knows just what I like CHORUS My baby brings me Jello, Strawberry Not cherry, not grape, not banana He knows I love Strawberry Strawberry Jello, Strawberry Jello (v2) When I can’t find a song When my heart can’t sing along When me feet refuse to do dance There’s only one thing to do My Baby knows what it takes To make me want to sing again CHORUS MUSIC INTERLUDE CHORUS TWICE © 2011 Alan D.

This is a fun song! I don't know if I could get away with calling anything my wife did "total nonsense", although I'm not sure you're married (different last names). But, fun song none the less! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
Yep, we're married. Diana Randall is her professional name. She herself said it was a bunch of nonsense but she liked it anyway. I agreed and we recorded it. Thanks for the listen. Glad you had a little fun with it!

Di and Alan...
Something light...jello! Fun.
I would think you might find a BIAB organ to add instead of strings. A little more appropriate for reggae... just at thought

Hi Floyd,
Ya know, I never thought about an organ. I'll look into that ... might be just the right thing! Thanks!

Very cool and even more so given how quickly it was developed -- strawberry is good!
Hey, there's a reggae organ in one of the BIAB reggae groups -- we've used it in all of our reggae tunes (all four that is :-))

I had a strawberry popsicle in your honor as I listened to your reggae Jell-O celebration!
Sweet song!

'...nonsense but so danged much fun.'
We need those light hearted tunes too, and they are fun.
You're so creative...I hope you'll post the RT remix if you decide to go that route.
Take care you two:)

Great sound. Very nice. Enjoyed it a lot. I think I remember you, Al, from another group. And your great guitar playing.

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
