If The Sun Didn't Shine Leon - Vocal & Lyrics I played the guitar solos and sang a bit. An bluesy song in a minor key about a lost love.

Great groove! Love the approach Leon took for the vocal, and the guitar leads are right on the money.
Nice one guys, enjoyed the listen!

Somehow this sounds a little different from your usual work. Great guitar work as usual but I particularly like the lower sounding vocals especially in the beginning.

Leon and Peter,
Cool song! I (Alan) always love Blues Rock in minor keys. The piano track on the right pan is perfect. The vocals are clear and interpret the lyric quite nicely. Great guitar work! Great listen, guys!!!

We're listening on the "big system" and enjoying this tune again.
As Janice just said, "I love his guitar, obviously, and Leon's vocal. The harmonies are good and the piano works so well."
Not much to add to that other than Leon never disappoints with a lyric.
Nice addition to the playlist!

You guys got me right from the git go.
Leon's lyrics + Leon's vocals + your super guitar chops + BiaB backing tracks = one great song. Super mix also!
Two thumbs up.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
