Short tribute instrumental to my late brother Harold Fogle who would have turned 69 on June 18,2014. He spent his life playing the steel guitar and this is my idea to how he may have interpreted this piece were he still here today. Everything composed, arranged and generated with real tracks from BIAB.

Hi Charlie ...

A very nice tribute song. We think he would be proud of you if he were to hear this.

We're very reluctant to make critical comments on tribute songs because of the deep emotion involved. We would like to suggest, however, that the chop electric rhythm on the right channel might have a real nice sound if you used a nice acoustic track. Regardless, this is real nice! Thanks for the real nice listen!

I love the feel! Steel guitar can capture a lot of emotion, and this feels very natural to me. A really nice tribute. I'm sure he's smiling down on you. Take care. Greg

Nobilis - Thanks for listening and commenting.
Jim - Thanks for listening. I corrected the date.
Dani - Thanks for your comments. We both know too well life can be too short.

Alan & Di - I appreciate you taking time to listen and comment. No problem with you offering suggestions. Your recommendations are always well thought out and presented politely. I'm not sure if I will re-visit this particular piece as it was more of a musing as I was playing with chord progressions on BIAB and the default backing instruments. The piece was written throughout with a piano as the solo instrument. I took a break and was over on Facebook and saw some postings about my late brothers birthday. In a whimsical mood, I came back to BIAB and replaced the piano with the steel guitar. My brother played the pedal steel professionally from middle school until his passing. There were several chopping sections that didn't fit with the steel as well as with the piano but I concentrated on the soloist steel sounds rather than the background instruments. He was a jazzy player so the flats and major
sevenths in the progression made the steel sound reminiscent of him in those areas.
Greg - Thanks for posting. I appreciate your kind words.

Like this one too and also feel the chop is a bit heavy for it. Love the steel though. Cheers.

Hi Charlie,

First of all we are sorry for your loss.
The song: sounds nice, especially the pedal steel. We are wondering which pedal steel real track you used?

Regards,
R & AM

- RichMac - Thanks for listening. I've gone back and listened more critically, and agree with you and others that the guitar doesn't fit well and is distracting. I'll do some more work on this.

- Guenter - Thanks for taking time to listen and comment.

- R & AM - Thanks for your kind comments and I apologize for overlooking listing all of the real tracks.

1999: Pedal Steel, Soloist Country 12-Paul Sw 065. By the way, the steel guitar solo track is unedited and is all BIAB generated.

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."
