A co-write with Lisa Gundling. Because it is a song from the perspective of sisters, and it sounds funny when I sing the princess line... I asked my sister-in-song to sing this for us. Again, a Giant Thank You to Janice Merritt!! MY DADDY'S KNEE the land was flat when my daddy bought it an acre needing tending behind our new home back property line was a forest of pine miles of trees where we kids could roam free dirt from a neighbor that truck dumped a windfall dad grabbed his wheelbarrow and started to haul for years he worked hard to transform that yard a realm for his princesses to oversee my sister and i apples of his eye sharing the perfect throne my daddy's knee shovel by shovel he built our kingdom three terraced levels with stepping stone stairs we were all so fond of his little round pond half hidden alcoves tucked everywhere a big bamboo patch three trees full of cherries lopsided rock bench you should have seen the fairies! repeat chorus i can still see the look on his face the gleam in his eye for that magical place repeat chorus The BAND: RealTracks in song: ~518:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~~407:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 378:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming DoubleTime Ev 088 RealTracks in song: ~2200:Guitar, Nylon, Background CountryBrent Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 623:Banjo, Background Backporch Ev 098 RealTracks in song: 2448:Guitar, Electric, Background, PopDreamyBrent Ev 085 RealDrums in Song: NashvilleBrushesCountryPopEv16: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes Janice Merritt: vocal and harmonies Bud Merritt recorded Janice's vocal track.

Hi Floyd and Lisa.
With so many songs having similar story-lines, it's really nice when someone comes up with something new.
This is SO original and yet at the same time, so engaging and so absorbing.
As usual, Floyd, a super backing and so professional.
As usual, Janice, I'm entranced by your captivating voice.
Beautiful.
ROG.

To all you 3:
This is lovely!
ROG hit the mark on all points- I can only add that, as a career landscaper and builder of the family garden, this is the song I wish my kids had written for me!

Man, this is about as pro-as it gets!
Again a crystal-clear mix.
This also must be Janice's best vocals so far.
A Keeper!!

This is a great vehicle for Janice's great vocals. It's so in the pocket. Professional in every way. Great mix and production. Have to send some kudos out to Bud - Vocals are so crystal clear.
A nice storyline, mindful a bit of Holly Dunn or even something Tom T. Hall would have written in the day.
I think this would have worked as a bluegrass tune as well.
Enjoyed it from start to finish.

So beautifully written!! This is what country music always tries to achieve and doesn't always get there. It is sweet and sincere but not sappy or trite. It is a tribute to the father, a tale of hard work to make a dream come true, and a heartfelt love of a girl for her father. BEAUTIFUL!! AND, Janice kills it, of course-awesome vocal! Great stuff guys! Take care. Greg

Hello, floyd
Very lovely song with a little folk rock feeling.
The chord progression of I - VIm - IV - V7 is the royal road of pops.
Very straight and favorable fitted to this tune.
Great vocals as always by Janice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Excellent song beautiful vocals ..! We thank you, colly... Hi Floyd and Lisa.
With so many songs having similar story-lines, it's really nice when someone comes up with something new.
This is SO original and yet at the same time, so engaging and so absorbing.
As usual, Floyd, a super backing and so professional.
As usual, Janice, I'm entranced by your captivating voice.
Beautiful.

Thanks, ROG! Lisa deserves all the credit for the originality of the storyline - it was her childhood we were writing about and she had most of the structure of those ideas set up to begin with...

This is as professional as you can get!
Lisa, Floyd and Janet, you all should be very proud of this.
If I heard this in a CD shop I would have bought it immediately.
Of course this is a keeper.

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit
We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!
By default, when you install your Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows the 32-bit version will run.
The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")
Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application
or:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application
We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
NEW! Style-style-style Additions and Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
With over 64 new features and enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019, we've made sure to add to, enhance, and update some of the Style features within the program: StylePicker, StyleMaker, and Song Titles browser within the StylePicker!
StylePicker Enhancements:
-If the style list needs rebuild, it tells you that within the StylePicker, instead of a message that requires a response.
-The rebuild is faster than before by 75%. It takes 1/4 of the time now.
-While the style list is being rebuilt, you can see the progress inside the StylePicker.
-The style list can be filtered by a specific RealTracks/RealDrums/MIDI SuperTracks or RealTracks/MIDI SuperTracks in a certain number range.
-You can filter the style list by a specific Xtra Styles PAK.
-The dialog to select an Xtra Styles PAK has a button to take you to the PG Music website that shows information about Xtra Styles PAKs.
-The StylePicker can list all styles (including N/A styles) in the default display.
-The Set number display is improved, including sort by type and Xtra styles.
StyleMaker Improvements:
-The new MIDI velocity offset allows you to make styles with altered loudness for MIDI tracks.
-Styles can be saved with information like a memo, examples, genres, and more, which will be displayed in the StylePicker.
-You can import information from another style. This is useful when you are making a similar style.
-A style can have a huge number of RealTracks (up to 70!) because the StyleMaker now supports RealTracks multi/medley feature, which allows a single track to have up to 10 simultaneous playing of RealTracks.
Song Titles Browser Enhancement
-We’ve added 300 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now over 10,600 titles.
-The chord density filter is available, and it’s also displayed in the memo.
-The chord complexity filter is available.
