Waitresses A tongue in cheek (at least I think it is) song about waitresses. Leon - Lyric & Vocal Me - Guitar & Vocal The BandRealTracks in style: ~~592:Bass, Acoustic Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 604:Guitar, Electric, Chet Comp Ev 130 RealTracks in style: 607:Guitar, Nylon, Chet Train Ev 130 RealDrums in style: CountryTrainBrushes: a: Brushes b: CountryTrainBrushes
WaitressesI went down to the bluebird café For some coffee and some scrambled eggs I had a problem, I’m sorry to say Keeping my eyes off the waitress’s legs Tried to concentrate on my coffee Tried to concentrate on my book But my mind seemed to have a will of its own And you know where it wanted to look I’ve got this thing about waitresses I know it’s crazy and it’s queer But I can’t resist a woman in an apron with a pencil behind her ear I’ve got this thing about waitresses Just can’t resist their allure Must be some kind of group I can join Get some therapy and find a cure I went down to the bluebird café Get me some coffee and some scrambled eggs I spent my time, I’m embarrassed to say Staring at the waitress’s legs She had those big, dark sparkling eyes And she smiled when she brought my meal I had a hard time convincing myself There was nothing that I should feel I’ve got this thing about waitresses Just can’t resist their allure Must be some kind of group I can join Get some therapy and find a cure Must be some kind of group I can join Get some therapy and find a cure Must be some kind of group I can join C’mon Doctor help me find a cure

I really like the elements in the music that have the same sassy feel as the lyrics. The horns, the guitar licks. Very enjoyable.

Peter, This is hilarious! Great truth er.. I mean comedy in those lyrics  Love the brass section and the doubled/harmony vocals on the chorus. Neat guitar solo and octave guitars. Great job, Jez

Peter,
Good fun- nice idea for a song. The humour comes through in the vocal and arrangement ( the laconic style reminds me a little of the great Dan Hicks).
Yeah, sign me up for that group!

This is a lot of fun Peter!! Very clever and well put together. Since you're in Australia, I'm not sure if you know about the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. It's where the big time songwriters sing their songs to a small but eager crowd. Never been there myself but hope to go someday. Really liked this! Take care. Greg

Hello, Peter & Leon
Very nice and funny country song.
Good vocal and the horns also work well.
Love the lyrics.
I understand so well "Keeping my eyes off the waitress’s legs"
I sometimes have the same problem at our local coffee shop.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.

Hahahaha....Janice just said "this song gives me happy feet!" There's a lot
of goodness happening here...clever well written lyric, cool vocals and a
great arrangement that includes the perfect complement of your guitar
and the horns.
And the imagery is wonderful...begs for a video.
Kudos to the two of you!!

Yes. This is a fun song and lyrics very clever and clear. It certainly conjures up a few images and the overall feel of the song fits well.
Great production.

Hi PeterF, Great job on this! This certainly got me in the mood to go get a breakfast meal! - I really dig the lyrics too, who doesn't love waitresses! Keep up the good work! 
Cheers,
Joe

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."
