Hi Alyn, Yeah, we definitely picture you, hanging around in some local 70s dancing talking to some chicks Like others said, we like the flute, but we like the arpeggio like strings even more! These are probably not RTs? Good work ! Thanks Rob and Anne Marie, Yeh man, *does peace sign* No the arpeggio strings were me doodling when the song was rock and I kept them as they were also cool thanks for listening Alyn

Very enjoyable, catchy soulful backing track with creative use of flutes and strings. You are a genius The unique style of your music reminds me of a band called It's Immaterial, and this song especially their Driving Away From Home. Janne

Hello, Alyn
This is very cool. The dance music around 70 and the voice talk reminds me of Serge Gainsbourg. Ennui and fatigue feel is expressed so well. As floyed said, perfect drum choice. As Rob and Anne-Marie said, the arpeggio like strings is so good. Great work! Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi thanks Shigeki, I am glad this song portrayed the boredom of being "cool" This is what is so great about this site is we can both appreciate each other's music even tho' we are poles apart in styles!! take care Alyn

Alyn I would have ‘paid’ just to hear that opening story (miss Hot Pants) But to have the story of those days outlined with a bit of Jethro Tull with a awesome brilliant BiaB work, was over the top. You really are a talent
Paddy G
Haha, that story went down well in the bars once I'd found an opening to slip it in Wish I could meet the driver again to hear his version. That flute RT almost had me standing on one leg and swaying in time, BUT when I double timed it it was as if Ian Anderson was in the room....scary thanks you from one "talent" to another talented equal. All the best, keep them coming, Alyn

"This is one of the most creative things I've ever heard on this this forum (and there have been many)."
We're down with floyd on this one!
We watched a documentary on Jethro Tull last week so it immediately came to mind when we heard this. I've heard that bossa flute used in many contexts and it works amazingly well here.
As always your back stories are worth the admission alone. I suspect we may be around the same age but your memory is waaaaaay more textured than mine.
Your ability to ferret out seemingly disparate RT/RD's and make it all work is second to none.
And the lyric nailed the back story.
$@#&%^ good!!
J&B
$@#&%^ing thanks Bud, Yeh I do believe we are roughly the same age, I am a 49er. And errr? I just forgot what I was going to say about my memory oh yeh I have a weird recall because I can remember trivial things and recall them years later with a simple trigger. From an early age I also wrote songs/poems about everything from falling in love to extracting teeth!! Ferreting RT's etc takes a good cup of black coffeeand that phrase "I wonder what if?" glad you enjoyed! Alyn

Wow Alyn! You have excelled yourself again. I have a feeling that's not the last time I will be saying that.
Such a great mix RTs that I would never have thought of combining.
Spot on vocals and a great story to boot! What's not to like :-)
Will be listening to this on headphones later while supping a Vintage Cider or two. That should transport me back nicely to the 70s!
Top work! Rec Thanks Rec, I am humbled. I like to read the RTs etc that people use as this helps me in my search for"off the wall" RT's. And there are more failures than successes Aah Cider, the only way I get apples as part of my 5, or more, a day keep them coming yourself! Alyn

COOOOOOOOOOOL!!! This is so creative. AND the way you fused these RTs is amazing-like bringing together people who have nothing seemingly in common, and the just hit it off. That flute works perfectly. Love the spoken lyrics. PG music should contract you to make some Real Styles combinations. This is OFF THE HOOK!! Take care. Greg Isn't this forum great!! Different and contrasting styles of music all from a BOX The only varying input is the writer;s brain. Thanks Greg, I look forward to your new song! take care Alyn

Alyn[/quote] I'm a 46er and that gives me the dubious distinction of being a teenager in the 50's -- barely. Interestingly I have several friends whom are excellent writers of prose and they have the same style of memory. OK, gonna have another listen! Bud

Hey Alyn, This is incredible! The arrangement and your performance are spectacular. You've really pulled out all stops in putting this together. Everything sits exactly where it should. I was completely thrown by the pitch of the vocals! This is so good in every way. I'm incredibly impressed. All the best, Noel

Just took a spin in the Gibsonator and feeling oh so cool. Amazingly creative with a uniqueness that can only be from Alyn. You are really a trip man and it is very infectious. I believe we all get the contact high from your songs and I am all aboard on the Magical Gibson Tour. An outstanding production. Just too cool!!! Tom

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."
