Was going to keep out of this, knowing nothing about rhinos, but couldn't resist. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge/dead-rhinos-and-me-50905RD - Blues BB even8 Bass - RT519 pop half notes Guitar - RT 1026 strumming dirty Probably an unpopular point of view but i hope you enjoy it. Cheers. Dead Rhinos and Me I was thinkin about the rhino, the poacher and the past All the things that used to be but died they didn't last With rhino gone the world just wouldnt be the same But with things changing all the time I wonder who's to blame The government can't pro-tect them cause it's nearly broke Some men can't feed family without cheating And people buy horn powders so they can hold their own In a so-ciety that's crumbling Your money's not worth much now de-values every day What would you do to win a constant battle any-way Poachers on the ocean in the hills and on the plain Poachers in the market cheat to see what they can gain We all live by eating and consumption doesn't hurt But I hate to see the rhino lying wasted in the dirt Wouldn't be a problem if we just took what we need Eventually we'll sink ourselves with selfishnes and greed The government can't pro-tect them cause it's nearly broke Some men can't feed family without cheating And people buy horn powders so they can hold their own In a so-ciety that's crumbling It's what we do that matters you know we're all to blame Ends up with dead rhinos thats such a god-damn shame Wouldn't be a problem if we just took what we need Eventually we'll sink ourselves with selfishnes and greed

Hi Rich, This is an interesting 'protest song' kind of approach to Josie's rhino challenge, and your lyrics cover a diverse range of issues. As I listened, I found myself wondering what the message would come across like if the lyric's content focus was narrowed a bit. From that thought, your song carried me along to a thought about "Blowin' in the Wind" and got me pondering about how I could use Bob Dylan's work as a model to write a song about rhinos. Interesting! Listening to you inspired me to be creative in ways that I've never thought about before. Thank you for that. There's no doubting that the more voices that join together in support of the rhino, the more likely it is that something will happen. It's good of you to join in even though you weren't going to. All the best, Noel

Well done Richmac!! I am often criticized by those who know me well for being too cynical but I think your point of view is pretty much right on. Cool song!! Take care. Greg

Hi Noel agree with what you say. My songs are all like that. Running on to new ideas before fully developing the last one. I guess I'm a starter rather than a finisher. I guess the message was meant to be that the rhino situation is part of a much larger and more complex problem. Delighted to have spurred you on a little. Cheers.

Thanks Greg. I didn't expect that point of view to be much appreciated so thanks for your comments. And cynical. Yeah. Maybe it comes with age. Cheers.

Hi Alyn. Thank you for the nice comments. And thanks for picking out that line which is pretty much the point of the whole song. Was feeling a bit cynical and depressed when I wrote it. Cheers.

You cast a pretty wide net there...but it worked well.
And as an ole guy who was a young man in 60's
I've certainly certainly heard my share of protest
songs.
Nice to hear this theme approached from another angle.
Enjoyed the listen.

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."
