Easter is just around the corner... hop, hop.. If you were planning to give something up for Lent, there's only a couple of days left.  Hopefully it wasn't writing. Or producing. It's getting kinda slow around here... This is a co-write with Bill Osofsky. It's got nothing to do with the holiday (or religion). GIVEN UP FOR LENT honey, have you seen my titan's sweatshirt? i can't find it on my closet shelf in fact, i'm sure i loaned it to your brother when he got bar-b-que all on his self patience and forgiveness ain't the only things i lack nothin' that i lend him ever seems to make it back (chorus) ya know i love ya, baby i love your family, too but your brother's just a moocher five finger rendezvous anything i'm missin' i know just where it went 'cause everything he borrows i've given up for lent. that shirt he wears with f.j. on the pocket ya know your brother's name is clem devine his twelve piece black and decker set of sockets i'd bet your mother's teeth that it was mine i swear he's got a share of everything i own 'cause every time we visit him it looks like i'm at home (repeat chorus) (bridge) they say a penny saved's a penny earned apparently, a lesson that he's learned (repeat chorus) The Band...

Past year or so is when I "met" Bill... we've written several together... Ahhaaa! Love that style. Those basic chords are sooo strong.

Bet your mothers teeth. Cheers. Glad you like it, Richard. Should have known that line would be "right up your alley"... (one of Bill's). Thanks for the listen...

Hi Floyd.
I see you've reverted to type with this one and I have to say that no one on here does country better than you.
Clever lyrics. I'm sure lots of us know someone just like that.
Nice arrangement, production and mix. The whole package is just fully professional.
ROG.

I am using a different control for playing the mp3.
I'd appreciate knowing if you have problems with it...
floyd
Floyd, the control worked perfectly. I think this hasn't been the case previously with those pages, but this time it worked great! Trevor

Hey Floyd,
I really like this - outstanding vocal and melody. I could hear Roger Miller doing this one. Very nice!

Hi Floyd,
So you lined up a few guitars again ☺
I counted 8!!!
Another song that I consider study material.
But first... Enjoying the song!
Great fun!
"that shirt he wears with f.j. on the pocket
ya know your brother's name is clem device"
LOL!
You know I'm a fan ☺
Things are a little slow here indeed, 4 songs in the pipeline, but just bought a Gretsch ☺, and we're going caravaning near saint tropez for two weeks ... So I'm taking a little break. Hopefully there's wifi there.
I have prepared a dvd with the best of the user Showcase forum to take along.
Always near you all!
Fred
PS The link works great!

Great comedy style write. Clever word-smithing.
On the topic.... I never lend anything with the hope of getting it back.
If I "lent" something to someone in the past, I consider it a gift. That's usually how it ends up anyway.
I'm generally fairly surprised when someone returns something to me in a timely manner. So imagine my surprise when my new brother-in-law comes to my house a day and a half later, says thanks.... and hands me the single nut driver bit I let him use.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but you can't do both.

Hi Floyd,
very clever and funny lyrics.
Arrangement and presentation are your
usual high standard. Your consumption of
guitars is amazing.
My regards to Bill. A great collab.

Tom mentioned to me that the solo guitars needed some reverb. So I added some and uploaded a new mix. (Also corrected a lyric faux pas that he pointed out. HA!) Thanks, Tom... Hi Floyd.

Hi there Floyd,
This is a nice 'working' style country song. Steady as always, I also very much like the talking in the end, haha.
Of course no soloist fits better here than Brent.
It's the first time I didn't have to use the Windows media player on your website. This new slider works flawlessly in my browser.
Rob

This one reminds me of a "song challenge" write. Your given a topic, or title or some starting point and everyone in the group returns the next week with their take of the challenge.
I use to be in a group like that and I enjoyed it immensely.
So if the challenge was "Given Up For Lent" this song would have knocked all the other entries clean out of contention!
Simply a super reinterpretation and development of a lyrical idea!

In the past, Eyes on Success featured an episode that discussed our company history and Band-in-a-Box® program with Tobin, our chief development officer, including how Band-in-a-Box® is even more accessible with the help of their JAWS screen reader scripts!
Later on this month, Eyes on Success will be releasing an episode that features Gudrun Brunot talking about her new tutorials about how to use Band-in-a-Box® with JAWS.
It's a great idea to pair the two episodes together!

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
Have your own program tip to share? Post it on our Tips & Tricks forum!
Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
