#328575 - 12/31/15 07:12 AM [User Showcase] What An Old Man Must Think
Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 6468 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 6468 Loc: Florida	As we transition from old to new, I thought this might be a good send off.. I wrote this when I was 25. It takes on new meaning as I sing it 35 years later. WHAT AN OLD MAN MUST THINK the days don't seem quite so long i seldom sleep real sound it occurs to me it's colder now when the woods are turning brown i don't run the way i once did the kids all drive so fast i can offer much too much advice if anyone should ask i used to wonder what an old man must think where were you in '62 what time does that clock say you young folks think we're stupid and only in the way years take a toll are you so sure you're immune let me tell you, ah, what's the use in time you'll know my tune i used to wonder what an old man must think when the church bells toll, i pray i haven't lost a friend i've yet to know an answer to why a good man's life must end don't get me wrong i'm not through by any means strike up that guitar hear the joy when i sing i used to wonder what an old man must think The Band: RealTracks in song: 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2231:Piano, Rhythm 80sPopBallad Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~1676:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 065 RealTracks in song: ~364:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 065 MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2058:Strings, Rhythm CelticAir Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 2336:Viola, Background, Pop Ev 085 (1TrackStringSection) Happy New Year, Y'all... floyd _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

Wonderful, as always and very a propos for us of a certain age. Amazingly thoughtful lyrics for one of 25 years and so relevant. Your work has been stunning all year and I'm looking forward to 2016.

A fabulous track which leaves me wondering how someone could write with such insight and wisdom at the age of 25. Everything works well in the arrangement and mix and as usual your vocal delivery is superb. I noticed a couple of small clicks at 2.37 - not sure what they were? Have a great 2016.

The lyrics are up there with the prescience of Jackson Browne. The whole things is perfect and very moving. Music like this deserves to be widely heard. Superb.

The arrangement and emotion in the vocal are totally captivating. When I was 25, I didn't think much about anything other than where the party was that night. This is deeply insightful writing. I'm really glad you reincarnated it. It is a beautiful song!! Take care. Greg

Most of the songs I have posted on Soundcloud are lyrics from the early eighties but I have written quite a few new ones since Band in a Box, (that's a plug, lol) Again a great song and mixed to perfection as usual!! _________________________ Critter

As a youngster, folks the age I am now seemed to be O L D. Mentally, I still think I'm thirty. It's not until the heavy lifting that I realize I got off at the wrong train stop. Good song. The lyrics are very well written and you have a fitting arrangement in the music. Your vocal phrasing at the very beginning of the line, "When the church bell tolls..." I thought you may be giving us a surprise and the verse was going to be conversational rather than singing. Didn't happen, but might have fit in nice. Enjoyed this -- even with the line or two that were too close to dodge. _________________________ BiaB Ultra Pak 2019:RB 2019 Build 2.

Just wait until you catch up with us ... we're just months away from 70 ... yep! The insightful wisdom in your lyric is amazing. And your vocal delivery never fails to mesmerize. You have a unique and wonderful voice. Me (Alan) being an old man now, I can certainly fall right into this one. We like the way you built the layers. That only adds to the anticipation of what's to come. Great job ... one of our very favorites from you. Have a fabulous 2016!

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit

We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!

By default, when you install your Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows the 32-bit version will run.

The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")

Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:

Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application

or:

Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application

We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
