I'm not on Showcase much at the moment as I mostly use BB for personal arrangements of Covers for my solo guitar work and, mostly, they can't be included here.
However, this tune was written by my good friend Oswald Perera and then arranged by me as a guitar piece. Put on here with our full permission. Lol!
BB - All RealTracks -
Style is _POPSTRM.STY (Pop Strumming with Organ) plus a couple of additions! Lol!
RealTracks in style: ~~684:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 120
RealTracks in style: ~~686:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120
RealTracks in song: ~1119:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120
RealTracks in song: 693:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming AcRockBright Ev 120 (B:eighths)

RealTracks in song: 1752:Accordion, Rhythm Pop8ths Ev 110
RealDrums in style: CountryEven8: a: Brushes, HiHat b: Snare, Ride

Guitar is "Lady" my beautiful Strat. Recorded in Cakewalk GTPro2 (from 2003) and mastered in Adobe Audition 1.5 of similar age. For what I do, it does the job.

You manage to capture that timeless Surf Style so absolutely perfectly.

Fantastic tune, and I really love that you didn't need distortion or overdrive to deliver the song. I'm just not a big fan of those often over-used effects that don't necessarily add to the composition.

I'm on the 3rd listen as I type. Really, really excellent.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ian.

Good to see you posting.

The first single I ever bought was "Apache" by the Shadows and this track of yours took me right back there.

Super tune and super playing. Nice subtle use of the tremolo and I particularly liked the guitar doubling later on.

Great mix and arrangement.

Really nice, Ian!

Great tone - and terrific sense of melody.

The backing tracks are well mixed - showcasing your guitar works and being perfectly supportive. Good mix.

A very enjoyable listen.

Hi Folks
thank you for your very kind comments. They are much appreciated.
I'm happy that The Shadows come to mind when you hear it - I do Solo Hank Marvin and The Shadows Tribute - so it must rub off when recording new music, I guess.
Very best regards
Ian
BTW - that second guitar in Verse 2 almost got left on the cutting room floor. lol. I re-recorded it in the lower register and it was a much better sound and fit.

Yeah man... ditto to what they all said.

nicely done. The thing I like about it is that it immediately sounds familiar even though it's not. That is the characteristic of a hit song.

it's got that surf vibe but not overly so.... I also heard influences of Clapton in there, another great Strat player.... you also have a taste of country in the backing tracks with the groove..... nice call to leave the harmony in on the last section.

well done.

Yes -a bit of a Country take on the tune - good old BIAB Accordion in the mix. Some nice Claptonesque bends in the intro and outro otherwise quite a Shadows sound to it.

Hi folks
many thanks for your feedback.
"Lady" sure is a sweet sounding Strat but when she's "hot" she really can rock the Overdrive too - but not yet! lol!
cheers

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
