A little song to Penelope on our Anniversary. All BIAB except for a little rhythm and 2nd guitar. https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/track/the-little-thingsThe Little Things ©2015 Robert Randall Burke An old guitar And a beat up car Just a couple dreamers Wishin' on a star We were young and blind But the world was kind I never thought We'd ever get this far. It's the little things The little things That can make a pauper Feel just like a king It's the little things The little things That make the biggest difference in the world. Smoky cabarets California days Singin' for our supper In the small cafes We were young and free You completed me And saved me from my Restless outlaw ways.

HI Bob ...
Happy anniversary to you and Penelope!!!
This reminds me of something Ed Bruce would have done in the late 80's. His voice is deeper than yours, but you have a lot of similarities otherwise.
Pretty song! Simple but enough of everything without a lot of stuff to distract from the great vocal and the message. We loved it!
Alan & Di

A terrific write, Robert...
You are a master at painting perfect pictures in so few words. This fits our story as well as it does yours (though ours took place on the East Coast - Florida to Philly)...
Happy Anniversary!
How about letting Penelope play bass on one of these?.... (does she sing???)
I like it!

It's a great day when all the little things come together -
Both in song and in life.
No little thing here, just another top notch song.
Happy Anniversary.

Hi Bob.
Another country classic!
Great choice of instruments and I always like the way you get so much emotion into the vocals.
Perfect arrangement and mix.

"It's the little things
The little things
That can make a pauper
Feel just like a king
It's the little things
The little things
That make the biggest difference in the world."
Amen....something the two of us have
lived for 35 years.
This is a wonderfully arranged, produced and sung
tribute that we both enjoyed...a lot.

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software
A few of my favorite statements:
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
