Bob, This is freaking awesome man! LOVE IT. Wow, I think this one is a masterpiece. Very funny, and extremely well done. I am JEALOUS man. I wish I had written this. Ok, I'm going back to the piano and I'm gonna do something epic now. You just wait man. I will find a way to resurrect! Now, but seriously, the highest praise I can give is to say I wish I had thought of that hook. Superb.

Bob, Your voice and beatbox with the arrangement sound great on this. One of the best mixes I've heard you do. If I'd only heard this song without reading your description/setup of it first the lyrics switching from third to first person are confusing - otherwise I really like the lyrics. Option one, I think if you'd actually add "and she'd say" or "she said" at least once before your hook tagline the lyrics would be more cohesive. (Option two would be to say "her world" changing the singer to some sort of significant other.) Feel free to use or toss - just trying to be helpful. Great sounding track.

"Dancing next year with her friend A blonde bombshell on the mend She was almost like Madonna A “Vogue” reality I can’t imagine a world without me"
Man, there's enough great imagery in here for three or four songs!
As always well sung, arranged and mixed. And what a cool mix of RT's - very creative. I'd been waiting on that "held bass" to show up here. Very effective use of it.
Cool and thought provoking. We much enjoyed the spin and will be back!
J&B

Hey Josie, Thanks - appreciate the kind words and thoughts. When I was putting this together I almost added some additional context, but in the end settled on this version - to me it was more implied than literal. I understand it may not come across that way to everyone. Bob

Quite a departure for you Bob!! BUT a very worthwhile alternative path. Sax could not have been better if played custom. I really liked the electronic/beatbox vibe. Hear a little Lou Reed in this (maybe the sax-"Wild side"). Mix is great! Really like this!! Take care. Greg

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
