The idea for this song came to me as during a recent tidy up I found some photos of a holiday in LaZenia Spain. I called it Lasagne cos that what it looked like in the day; a plate of store bought lasagne, flat and orange...yuk. Building sites and a big expanse of nothing. It was a few years ago tho' But at night the view of the sea was stunning. But not a good title... Then I saw a picture of Half moon Bay and the song was a goer!! Greg (Johnson) mentioned it in his reply posts to his song Sausalito and he mentioned about possibly writing a song about this bay. BUT I got there first!!  I also wanted to post before Dani went on his Xmas break to Spain but missed that deadline due to stuff in my life as on Friday I saw my 16 year old cat have a massive stroke, according to the vet, with the eventual unspoken result.  Anyway RIP Skit. Half Moon Bay I stayed up half the night in the pouring rain see I had you on my mind thinking about the days we spent down at half moon bay Aah the memories the feel of sea salt spray in our faces as we sit in the sand holding hands watching the sun go down those kind of things you never ever want to forget I loved you in the morning you loved me all through the night that's why I wanna get back get back to half moon bay la la lala la la SOLO Aah the memories the feel of sea salt spray in our faces as we sit in the sand holding hands watching the sun go down those kind of things you never ever want to forget I loved you in the morning you loved me all through the night that's why I wanna get back get back to half moon bay la la lala la la Soloist is saved with the song : Pop 16th.

Hey Alyn,
I really, really enjoyed listening to this song. The choice of RTs is fantastic. And midi sax is awesome. When it started playing, I had to go back and check that it wasn't a Realtrack.
Yet another creation to be proud of.
I'm very sorry to hear about Skit.
Best wishes,
Noel

Alyn,
I liked that song quite a bit, for a variety of reasons!
First of all, it sounded very "Beatle-esque" to me. Naturally, to anyone my age, that's a very good thing!
Next, I liked the high pitch of your voice in this song. For some reason it added to my perception of this as a fond memory... perhaps because some people resort to a higher voice when they talk fondly to their pets, children and spouses. Speaking of which, sorry to hear about Skit. I know that feeling.
I also liked the cadence of your verses. It wasn't a strictly defined meter, and the fact that you had to speed up to fit it all in reminded me of how many people speed up when talking about something that excites them. At other places you slow down, which reminds me of the way people might dwell a little longer on a pleasant thought before moving on to the next one.
The topic of a highly memorable vacation with a special person is perfect fodder for a love song, and this song did a good job of communicating to the listener how that might feel.
Great opening line! And good imagery! You took me there in my mind!
I thought it was interesting the way your LALALA led so easily into the sax solo.
I liked the way your voice transitioned from singing voice to lilting voice at the last "you loved me all through the night"
Good song and great chord progression! Thanks for posting!

Hi Alyn.
Another classic.
Whilst still being an original Alyn track through and through, this did somehow make me think of Jonathon Richman. He's the only person I can think of who comes close to being as varied, daring and original.
Great backing track with an amazing vocal line.
Sorry about the cat.
ROG.

Alyn, I am sorry to hear about your pet.
This is one of your best to date IMHO. You did a fantastic job with MIDI on this one, keep up the good work.

To allLast year I posted a song Hey you and at the end of the original post described a funny incident We took breaks and often stories were told as we sat around and one day one of my cats strolled in and went to sleep on the cushion in the Steve's open kick drum. I noticed and didn't think of telling him as we listened to the story.He had a chain linked double bass drum pedal and to emphasise a point his feet went berserk with a bass drum roll. Cartoons ARE true 'cos the skeleton of the cat left the room first followed seconds later by the skin, swerving and jinking the legs, guitars, beers and leads like a professional. laugh! HAHAHAHA the cat has never fully recovered and never goes in that room to this day! It didn't come back in the house for weeks and is now a total neurotic wreck. Poor lickle pussy but HAHAHAHAHAHA That was Skit!! A sad loss 'specially as I saw her fit but hey what a great memory of her Noel.Thanks for commenting Pat: your posts are so illuminating, everyone is worth a couple of reads!! CharlieThanks for the quote  Rob and Anne Marie Thanks for the comments. Tell Rob I shall look for the font and send him a link! Bob (rsdean)Thanks for commenting floydThanks, as I have said before praise from you is praise indeed ROG Thanks, I vaguely remember Jonathon Richman and shall google him later. Bob (90db) Your old friend is a lucky man. And I now know someone who knows an ostrich farmer!! Mario Thanks for commenting. MIDI is often slated but it is a wonderful "language" FredM I am getting a complex about my voice LOL Thanks for listening. Alyn

Very cool song all the way around.
The Bossa groove is very effective.
This reminds me of some of the
little ditties on the White Album.
We much enjoyed it!
Yes, RIP Skit, you had a great run...

Really nice tune Alyn!! I'm glad to see that you wrote to that title. It is a beautiful name. I think you nailed it. Great vocal, great feel, great emotion! Reminds me of a story I heard. Jerry Wexler, a big time producer in the 60's, told Jerry Goffin, I got a great title for you, "Natural Woman". That was Wexler's contribution and he is listed as an equal co-writer. Probably made a million bucks off that title. So, if it makes your fortune, and I'm down on my luck, I may look you up!! No, in all seriousness, GREAT JOB!! Take care, and Merry Xmas. Greg

Another very cool tune Alyn. Sorry to hear about Skit. Pets are very close family members and sometimes even if they have lived a long life they are surely missed.

-The Audio Edit window now displays chords and tempos for each bar. They are shown when the Audio Chord Wizard mode is active so that you can see the tempo for each bar as you set the bar lines.
-When you start entering bar lines, the program automatically sets the tempo to the tempo of the first bar.
-Once the tempo of the first bar is set, the program automatically moves the location of the first bar of audio over so that the visual space of the count-in bars is visible.
-After you’ve added the bar lines, IF you adjust the first or second bar and the tempo of the first bar changes accordingly, the program automatically changes the tempo of the song to match.
-Multi-window display. This gives the Audio Chord Wizard a multi-window view so that you can see and edit both the Audio Edit window and the Chords Sheet at the same time. This display is best viewed with a small toolbar mode. This allows you to see the chords as they are being interpreted by the wizard.
-The Audio Chord Wizard can send the transcribed MIDI notes to the Soloist track for further analysis by the user (via Piano Roll or Notation window). Note that this is a "snapshot" view every 8th note of the pitches present, not an attempt at polyphonic transcription. To use this feature, enable the "MIDI to Soloist" check box.

Note: this patch is not intended to update your version to the recently released Band-in-a-Box® 2020, which is available for purchase here.
Summary of Changes for Version 2019 Build 643 (Jan 14 2020):
Fixed: Practice window | Master Solos | Blues Piano, displays N/A.
Fixed: The Drop Station would not update if dropping a file onto Presonus Studio One.
Fixed: Possible freeze when importing compressed audio files.
Fixed: Crash with error "external exception C06D007F" while launching if using Windows XP.
Fixed: Access violation in Song Titles browser if no song is selected when clicking [Close].
Fixed: Band-in-a-Box might crash during bootup if there is a problem with font installation (usually after upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10).
Fixed: Band-in-a-Box might crash during bootup if an ASIO driver was previously selected, and the device is no longer connected to the computer.
Fixed: If an ASIO driver cannot connect during bootup, the default WAS driver should be used instead.
Improved: BootupLog.txt will include more elaborate information when troubleshooting bootup problems. This only applies if WriteBootUpLog.txt is present in the Data folder.
Fixed: RealTracks #2975 (Vocal Oohs-Aahs) sometimes played incorrect chords for m7b5 and C7.
Fixed: Some bars for the B section of RT 2529 were dropping out.
Fixed: Some Bass and Nylon Guitar RealTracks (including 2718, 2724, 2722, 2725, 2719) have RealCharts added.
Fixed: Several Piano and Organ MIDI SuperTracks have been edited to remove spurious MIDI events (e.g. mod wheel sometimes caused 'warbling' effect).
Updated: PDF and help (routine cleanup/updaes).
Fixed: Band-in-a-Box might crash when opening a song that contains note-based lyrics.

Fixed: "There is no audio file currently recorded" error message when using Audio > Plugin.
Fixed: If using the 64 bit version of Band-in-a-Box, the BB2Go window would display an erroneous QuickTime version, and converting files to .m4a would fail. QuickTime is only available for the 32 bit version, but is only required if using Windows Vista or earlier.
Fixed: Sforzando might not automatically be added to the VST list, causing Hi-Q patch selection to fail.
Fixed: [Video] > Render Video(s)... menu item should launch the Make Chordsheet Video dialog if Video RealTracks export is not available.
Fixed: When choosing a compressed format for rendering files, and "One file per track" is enabled, the resulting files are .wav format instead of the compressed format.
Fixed: Dragging a single track to export MIDI causes that track to be permanently soloed.
Fixed: The About dialog said 'for Macintosh' instead of 'for Windows'.
Fixed: StylePicker: User Category list wasn't refreshing after choosing a new user category.
Changed: Default the 'include similar styles in the stylepicker' to false each bootup.

Fixed: Applying audio effects using Audio > Plugins would fail with error "Plugin cancelled. Original file is preserved".
Fixed: Audio will not import to a custom position if there is already audio on the Audio track.
Fixed: Audio > Edit Audio > Timeshift Audio would crash the program if the Audio Edit window was not open.
Fixed: Close button in Select chorus start/end dialog should behave like Cancel, ie user clicking on bar afterwards shouldn't do anything.
