Shigeki - Many thanks, I`m happy you enjoyed the melody and especially the whistle... More Celtic instruments are top of my wish list for BiaB!

Scott - Thanks for your listens and support.Lots more folkie stuff to come.

J&B - Much appreciated - I`m probably a bit old school in lyric style, preferring songs that can be read as poems too, so thanks for mentioning that.

Greg - Thank you for this. I believe in the wisdom of your ears and after a break from listening to the song I tend to agree with you ( and Floyd), that the piano is intrusive. I `m going to try taking it back into the mix and see how that sounds.

Alyn - Thanks for your listen and comments. I haven`t listened to Ralph Mctell ( fantastic guitarist!) for years, but you`re right, it does have the feel of his songs.

First of all, a very good song, nice lyrics! Love the flute (tin whistle?), really makes the song. But most of all, I love your vocal! Great tone and timber to your voice.

Dave,

Many thanks for your listen and kind comments - I find having to listen to my own voice so much doing these productions uncomfortable at first, but its helping to discover a more relaxed style.
I think that whistle is tin... but Irish whistles are a mixed bag of materials, so could be wooden.

Thanks for providing the inspiration for the song.

We enjoyed listening to the song and the lyric is a great read by itself.

Very nice!

J&B


I agree completely!

Your vocal was super on this, as were the backing tracks.

Your lyrics reminded me of Dylan they are that good.

Two thumbs up


I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Sergio - Thank for your listen and positive comments.

Mario - That`s very kind, I`m glad your thumbs are up!

Torrey - Many thanks for the listen and comments. I somehow missed Harry Chapin`s music so had to Google him to catch up; sad story of his early passing.

Peter - Thank you!

Tom - I appreciate that. The chorus melody came from a remembered snippet from an English folk song... but, hey, I figure if somethings been humming around in my mind for 50 years its almost original!

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.

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."
