I set this song round the turn of the century. All comments welcome. Thanks for listening. Rob. https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob/the-miller-by-robert-stanleyThe Miller There once was miller who's mill was down bye the stream. Awake early morning and stumbled away from his dreams. Bagging and grinding and toiling away at the mill. Though work never faltered ambitions bothered him still. He worked every day at the mill my love He worked day at the mill He worked every day at the mill my sweet. Until There once was a seamstress who worked neath candle light. There once was a seamstress who work till late at night. Both mending and sewing her work would never be done. A life of hard labor and paid with a pitiful some. She worked till the household was still my love She worked till the household was still She worked till the household was still my love. Until While delivering some flour he met her and tried not to stare. A young handsome miller was more than her young heart could bare. They vowed to each other no longer would they be apart. The miller and seamstress now both would make afresh start. He worked every day at the mill my love She worked till the household was still He worked every day at the mill my sweet. Until There once was a couple with three boisterous children at home. The more time together the stronger their true love had grown. x2 He worked every day at the mill my love She worked till the household was still He worked every day at the mill my sweet.

Rob, We seem to be at opposite ends of the song-writing spectrum as you produce beautiful songs from an era gone by.
This is a song that could have been the background to my early days on this planet.
A nice pleasant listen

Hello Rob,
This is a very nice song (a traditional or your own?). It's well sung, especially the backing vocals. Did you use the TCHelicon for this?

Enjoyed this a lot. If PGMusic's Radio Channel takes off, you'll be the 'traditional' oldies channel. You have such a good take on so many varied bygone styles.
I also want to comment that you get such clean recordings and mixes. That is quite a feat in itself. Maybe you can elaborate on your gear, set up and recording process sometime.
Keep 'em coming. I always enjoy your songs.

Charlie Im also looking forward to PG music radio. Would love to listen to the wide variety of music members have to offer. Would be great to have some of mine included as well. I like your suggestion about my set up. Will do that soon. Many thanks Charlie.

Nice mix on that, Rob.
Good vocal. The whole thing has a Burl Ives vibe to it.
Nice harmonies, too..

+1 RichMac's comment on the vocal. They sound loud and clear but still sit perfect in the mix. I like how the steel guitar sits in the mix quite a lot too.

Very authentic folk song.
Hey, you have a time machine stashed in you basement? It sounds like you live a few days in another time to get these songs right.
Nice vocal delivery and a fine mix to support it all.
We enjoyed it.

Rob,
The Miller is such an easy song to listen to. From a sound aspect, you've really found a sweet spot in your productions. You've done everything right.
Great arrangement, like the way you have the steel guitar present but back in the background where it belongs. You didn't mention what the pad was way in the background but it was very tasty.
Your voice shines on ballads like this. Excellent vocal and harmony.

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."
