Another keeper, Bob.
Really nice combination of instruments. The dobro works great in this.
Nice write. Your usual outstanding vocal.
The orchestral touches are nice. The guitar lead is tasty! (and well recorded)
Excellent mix. Love the bass, too...

Yes, we definitely like this, melodic and very good vocals. Anne-Marie likes the drums (not pushy, she doesn't like those heavy kind of drums  )

That's just a cool song and I'm not just saying that because you put a Charlie in there. Enjoyed my listen.

Great write there Bob. I liked the gentle nature of the melody.
Did I hear pizzicato from the Miroslav Philharmonik? Great touch
Fantastic vocal, and perfect mix.
Nice all around for sure.

Nice one Bob. Great imagery and the perfect
vocal to deliver it. Made it easy to see the
ship and the moon reflecting on the water.
The acoustic added just the right accent.
Nice touch with the strings also -- just
enough to add to the feel and not a bit more.
Excellent!
J&B

Very nice song Bob! You always have a good mix and the bass was the one thing that stood out (in a good way) in my ears. Smooth vocals and an interesting story. Enjoyed it all!

Tommy, Thanks for listening and the kind remarks. J&B, Thanks. Appreciate it. I've always been fascinated by the rum-runners. My grandfather lived through all of that in Miami. Everybody in town was making bathtub gin! Sonny, Thanks. I love that bass as well. All I had to do was hit “Generate”, and there it was! Rich, Thanks. Appreciate the listen and comments. Regards, Bob

Bob, what an excellent choice of instruments to make sure I got caught up in the feel. The acoustic solo added so much to the song. I really enjoyed that, made me want to take a walk along the cliff-tops, near where I live, until I saw the horizontal rain outside , so I'll play the song again, instead. Alyn

Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
There are Notation Enhancements in the NEW Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows! These include:
•A new button in the Print Options dialog which lets you quickly print a "chords only" fake sheet. You can also access this from the right-click menu on the chord sheet.
•A new track type (Drums) is now available for The Melody and Soloist tracks.
•Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. (Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on The line.)
•Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location. Previously, it played the song from the beginning of the current bar.
•Holding down the [Ctrl] key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
•In The Notation Windows Options dialog, The clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
•Pressing The space bar plays the song from the current time location, not the current bar.
•The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
•The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
•There's a keystroke entry notation mode - the 'N' mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
•You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When The dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current Notation track.
•You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
We talk about these new features within our Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows®! New Features, RealTracks, and other content! video:
