The song remember me the Bob Dylan's style in the Lp "Pat Garret & Billy the kid" (cantina theme)
Great work.

Hi Bob. Nice relaxed song there. Would have taken me a week at least! Your voice and style always make me think of Marty Robbins. Cheers.

Hello Trevor. I started this song with one individual track at a time. The result was what you hear. Normally I would steer away from this genre,thought it was worth the experiment. Rob.

Nice southwestern Marty Robbins groove and sound you have going here. Very cool and vivid imagery in the lyric. I do have to say that had I read the lyric before listening I wouldn't have known that a kiote was a coyote The mix sounds just right on the monitors for my ears and taste. You definitely have a good feel for different genres. Fun isn't it?! Very nice listen!! J&B PS: Five minutes? It takes me about that long to remember my PG Music password.

Nice song Rob! When you say this took 5 minutes, that doesn't include the time it took to write the lyrics, does it? But, whether it does or not, the ability to crank out good songs quickly is a pretty good indication of your comfort level with the software, and a pretty good testimony to BIAB as a rapid development system! On top of all the things I always like about your songs (your voice in particular) I liked the way you wrote the lyrics to suggest that Margarita might be a woman instead of a drink. Every time you mention "Margarita" the context supports both interpretations. I think that sort of thing adds a lot to any song. The song is straight-forward, and also a little bit obscure. It Keeps the audience wondering if you might mean something besides what you appear to be saying.

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."
