Here is a song of mine that I recorded a few years ago using BIAB RT bass and fiddle. Very simple arrangement but the fiddle fit the song like a glove. I added two guitars, with one of them capoed very high up the neck to mimic the way Nick Reynolds played tenor guitar in the Kingston Trio. http://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com/track/feel-my-burdens-easeThanks for listening.

I really enjoyed this song. I've enjoyed your posts but I think this is my favorite so far. This style fits you well and your vocals come across very convincing and makes it such a believable and authentic piece. Thanks for posting.

Nice song. Nice feel to it. The guitar capo'd up works well.
I never use a capo for playing in any particular key....when I use it, it's for this purpose.... to give the guitar a totally feel and sound.
Yes, I like this song.

Hi Fred,
I enjoyed listening. It's a very memorable melody you've created. Even now as I'm typing this, I can still hear you strumming and singing in my head!
All the best, Noel

Hi Fred,
I like this song quite a bit! Nice airy uncluttered arrangement, clear as a bell!
Your voice is perfect for the message and key. I really like what you did with two guitars, one of which is capo'd. I do the same capo thing... I find that it adds variability not only because one of the guitars is playing at a higher pitch, but also because the capo'd guitar is playing different forms of the chords, and that often adds a totally new feel.
I wish you had posted the lyrics, though. I have a hard time retaining the message when it passes by at the speed of a song. I need to see it in order to absorb it. But, maybe that's just me...
Anyway.. great post! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thanks for the comments, Pat. Here are the lyrics: Feel My Burdens Ease
I woke at daybreak As the freight train roared The thunder was calling The rain just poured Like ripened apples Falling from the trees One by one I feel my burdens ease.
Gonna get me a boat Row it back upstream That’s where I left her In a small town dream. Don’t care if I find her Before the winter freeze I’ll keep searching As I feel my burdens ease.
Just like that oak tree in the backyard So many seasons in the wind. But for all of the changing It’s the same all over again.
I wrote this song Many times before. Gave it a new name Pushed it out the door. I sang it in Saigon And in the southern keys. Now I’ll sing it As I feel my burdens ease.

Really, really good! I listened to it multiple times and will download it to put on my gotta hear playlist.
I like listening to you sing Fred. I like your songwriting, your song arrangement and ear.
I listened to some of your other selections and enjoyed your 2011 Christmas selection too.

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."
