Hi Greg.

Super soulful song and beautifully delivered.

A combination of the storyline and the vocals put me in mind of "Desperado" which has got to be a good thing.

Great mix and a very professional offering all round.

ROG.

Hi, Greg !

Most superlatives are already used
and for a good reason ! I don´t
find the right words to describe
this masterpiece, so well written,
arranged ad sung !


Cheers

Thanks so much for all the nice words Tom! I played with the pedal steel a bit and on some parts it seemed a bit at odds, but for that ramp section I really loved how it felt. I use the B3 all the time. Always loved the B3 for as long as I can remember. Great to have access to one with BIAB. Thanks so much for your encouragement and for posting such cool songs. Always excited to see what you've come up with, and never disappointed! Take care. Greg

Thanks for the very positive remarks Alyn. You're right about being on the road. It's a great place to think, a great place to talk, and just about the only place these days where one can get any peace. I love to drive as long as there is no traffic. Really appreciate your taking time to listen and post. You are an amazingly creative person and your feedback is very valued by me. Take care. Greg

Thanks J and B. Jackson Browne and Don Henley are two of my heroes, and it means a lot to me that you guys can hear that influence. Always love hearing from you (comments and songs!) Take care. Greg

THanks so much for your kind words David. It is interesting how many ways there are to approach songwriting. James Taylor (one of my favorites) says he always comes up with the music first. I usually get a musical idea, sometimes with a lyrical hook line. Steve Seskin advocates writing a chorus first and working the versus around it. I think you just gotta go with whatever works for you! Take care. Greg

Thanks so much Rog!! The Eagles and Don Henley are no doubt huge influences of mine, and being compared in any way is a great compliment. Always love hearing your stuff-you are the king of BG vocals-they jump out in a great way! Take care. Greg

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
