Floyd,
Sweet, real and very catchy. Everything done right on the backing, vocals and harmonies. Congrats on your milestone- this is a beautiful gift.
Robert Thanks, Robert... Classic. I'll share that your song "Little Things" is quite different of my tune from 1971 of the same name.
The devil is always in the details.
Enjoyed my listen.
Charlie
EDIT: My gracious, I overlooked your actual anniversary and reason for song.... Happy Anniversary Thanks for stopping by, Charlie... stands to reason that we all might write the same title now and again...

floyd,
Congratulations to you and your wife!!!! That's an outstanding milestone.
As I'm typing this, I'm listening to "Little Things". It's definitely a song to be proud of... very easy-on-the-ears and very catchy, too. I don't know that I've heard "Thank you" said so well before.
May everything good come your wife's and your way, Noel Well Floyd, Congratulations from the both of us! And this was supported by a really nice song surely up to your usual high standard ;-) Rob & Anne-Marie

floyd, In this world of wholesale divorce where over 50 percent of new marriages fail, you are certainly in rarefied air. Aside from the great lyrics, melody, performance and production, the real standout is the event itself. The fact that you and your wife have succeeded in nurturing the relationship is evidence that you have found what is really important in life. Happy 40th to you both and I wish you many more. By the way I really liked the song, Tom

The "little things" are expressed here in a BIG manner. A lovely tribute to a lovely lady. It would be easy to appreciate all the goodness of this production irrespective of the relationship one might be in but when you have one like the two of us it just makes this song all the more special. Janice says the melody and the band alone will make one happy. Then with the terrific vocal and production. Wow! As i type Janice keeps naming things about it that make her happy. OK, girl, I get it! Happy Anniversary! J&B

Dear "floydjane"... Man, I'm jealous of you ! I only made it through seven years in my marriage. When you gonna write the book that explains the secrets of the longevity of your relationship with your wife? The addition of the congas RealTracks was inspired! The lyrics -- and the way you croon them -- had the effect of causing me to listen very closely and introspectively to them. They kept my ears (and my heart) focused on the details of the "little things" you described so endearingly in your song. The sound of your production was clear and ringing, as though it had been recorded in the open air of an outdoor music festival. I found myself imagining a wave of applause beginning as the song ended and you stood up to take your bow, and then pointed out your obviously much-loved wife in the audience so everyone would know who you were singing about. "floydlane", congratulations on honoring the truly sacred vow that the marriage rite demands from all who betroth themselves to a life partner: "'Til death do us part." Most sincerely, LOREN

Floyd,
Congrats! Wishing you and your wife a bunch more.
Well, I'm out of superlatives. I think I've already bankrupted the English language of it's superlatives. This is about as close to perfect as a production can be in all respects. I should know better, but I'm always amazed every time I click onto one of your songs. No matter how good I expect it to be, it's better.
Best to you and your beautiful wife.
Alan

Sensational effort, no matter what angle we look at it.
Keep shining Floyd, both of you raise a glass for the forum members. Because we're raising several for you!
Thanks, Trevor! Barkeep!...make mine a double!!! Man, just so good! Your vocal is great on this and those perfect harmonies coming in at just the right time.....loved it! Loved the track too, percussion part really worked well, and mix is top notch as per usual. Congrats to you and your wife on your 40th!
Appreciate all of that, Dave.... thanks...

Congratulations. A great track, great vocals and recording quality - as always. Thanks for stopping by, lambada... Floyd, Man, WHAT A SONG!!! I'm pretty much incommunicado (vacationing in Costa Rica) but I had to put my two cents in here. This is so incredibly GOOD!! Such a wonderful heartfelt lyric, and music that is so sweet and pleasant to carry it along. I agree with David's comments-this song just knocks you out! On my laptop speakers, I can't appreciate the production as much as I will later but I had to drop the quick note of "Congrats" and SO WELL DONE!!!! Take care. Greg Thanks for such a nice review, Greg! Hope you are having a great time in CR...

I would also like to congratulations on your milestone. Your lyrics put a smile on my face. I have had a few moments like that as well with my wife. The vocal, harmonies and backtracks sit so tight together. I think when happens one can really experience the imagery in the song. Well done.. Thanks, Scott...glad to see it struck a chord...

Hi Floyd.
A super song and a wonderful tribute to your wife.
Many congratulations on your 40th from your friends and fans over here in Chicago.
What can I say about the song, except that it's everything we've come to expect from you in regards to content, performance, production and sheer professionalism.
All the best to you both for the future.
Cheers, ROG. Can't say it better than ROG. ditto from me.

Floyd,
first of all, congratulations on 40 years of marriage! That's quite an accomplishment! And a pretty good reason to write a song, if I may say so!
I thought your lyrics zeroed in perfectly on what you called the "little things" that perhaps don't get identified in marriages of shorter duration, but which are the insider information that help to keep good marriages rocking.
That wasn't a song that could be written by anybody... but you nailed it!

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."
