Hi Dani,
nice song and nice harmonies. Have you really got a hot summer haze in Finland? Enjoyed it a lot as always.

Hi Dani,
Love the feel and arrangement of your song - reminds of sitting on a train ride through the Rockies. Did you sing the lower part too?
Thanks for sharing, Ray
Keep on Rockin' Sonny Ray

Dani,
Nice! Cool song. Nice instrumentation. The Brass sounds really good. Good mix all around - and nice vocals and harmonies.
Terrific job.

Well, Trevor..
Thank you so much for your most kind words !:)) I could not really find a good replacement for the rhytm we used on the record back in 1992 but I think I came pretty close after all !
Cheers Dani

Hi, Guenter, my ol´friend !:))
Thank you for your most kind words. Up here we can have summers that are very hot but it can also be the opposite ! It all depends on the Siberian Highs and how they build up and how far westwards they will push !:))
Cheers Dani

Hi Dani,
What a pretty song. I like it a lot. I could visualize the northern lights - home sounds like a wonderful place.

Hi, Josie !:))
Thank you my friend for your most kind words !:)) Yes, home is not as bad and cold as one might think, summers up here can be very warm indeed (depending mostly on how far the Siberian highs push westwards !:)) Midsummer over here is almost magical with never ending daylight and lighted up bonfires all along the coastline !:))
Cheers Dani

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."
