Hello all Here is a fun song that was co-written with Liz Petty as part of 50 90. Lucky Lucky Me on Youtube I think this one is going to be great to perform live so I cant wait to practice it enough so it is ready. I think the kids'll love it.... Lyrics: I had me a hamster Penelope she was brown and white chatted all day to me I assumed she was lonely so I got her some friends two pigmy goats called Mary and Ted Had two crazy goats blatted all the night long It soon grew quite tiresome with their lonely song so I got a dwarf donkey black cross on his back He started to bray And So I got Jack Now I have a menagerie all because of Penelope Now I have a menagerie lucky lucky me Jack was a gray emu he'd run really fast one day he ran far when we found him at last in Farmers John's pasture he'd befriended a cow we brought them both home and made room somehow The cow liked to watch birds so I got him a hen The hen got a porcupine to keep fox out of her pen then a large gray armadillo who wasn't afraid of quills then a lama, six young ducks one day I looked around ... and thought oh no.... what the..... luck.... Now I have a menagerie all because of Penelope Now I have a menagerie lucky lucky me Tracks RealTracks in style: ~1122:Bass, Acoustic, CountryWaltz Sw 110 RealTracks in style: ~2050:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment CountryWaltzJohn Sw 140 RealTracks in style: 829:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Country Waltz Sw 110 (A:held) RealTracks in style: ~990:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryWaltzGrittyHeld Sw 110 RealDrums in style: NashClassicWaltzSw^1-a:SideStick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Comments are always appreciated.

Good work on this, Joanne  I agree, I think the kids will fall in love with this tune! It's wonderfully catchy, and easy to follow and sing along to. Amazing on the arrangement too - and your vocals are on point! Thanks so much for sharing!

My dear Ms. Cooper... Well, here's one big ol' "kid" that loves your lovely song, "Lucky, Lucky Me"! I'd love to teach this cheery, charming and humorous musical tale to a classroom full of children. In fact, listening to it made me wish I was back in kindergarten and thrusting eager my hand in the air to be picked by the teacher who's asking her students, "Which one of you would like to make a goat sound? Anyone know what an emu sounds like? Who can bray like a donkey?" Recently I learned what one of the many definitions of the word "innocence" is: having no knowledge of evil. Isn't that just the most beautiful and desirable thing to contemplate? "Lucky, Lucky Me" is that kind of song. If I had a daughter, or a son, or both, when I picked them up from school, I'd love to have them run into my arms and hear them exclaim to me in voices breathless with excitement, "Daddy! Daddy! Wanna hear the song our teacher taught us today?!" LOREN P.S. Your singing voice reminds me of Julie Andrews.

Nicely done, Joanne. Well sung, good mix.
Could see this being a part of a whole children's CD. Or even turned into a book - with accompanying music...

Fun song Joanne - kids will like it and it could describe some adults I know too. Nice collab. Great job! Thank you Josie. Nice to hear from you. I think some adults will love this one ...especially the line "what the luck...". I am hoping to get it practiced enough to start performing it live at our local folk club.

Joanne, as an animal lover I really enjoyed your video! This song was done very well! The vocal, backtrack and video work were all exceptional! Nice use of incorporating the animal sounds in the production! Thanks, Torrey

What the luck? WTL? That was a great line!
It's all been said! What you have is a great kids song, super vocal, great backing tracks with super lyrics and a zoo.
I can see this one on Sesame Street! (I hope you get that TV show over there)
Great fun song!

Excellent one. Everything goes well. All in one: your vocal and music in the background
Super video.
Surely I'll show it to my grandson Leonardo (2 years old) as soon as he will come to my home.

Sound-Guy has been using Band-in-a-Box® for many, many, many, many, many years - and we still managed to surprise him with some great new features! Read his latest review to learn more about his favorite additions for 2020!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to evolve as an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to produce not only new compositions and arrangements, but also perform them with excellent musical “talent”. It also provides educational and training tools for keyboardists and guitarists. It’s easy to use the basic functions, and challenging enough to keep you occupied for years. BIAB provides education, inspiration, a “live” band to aid in practicing, and anything from backing tracks to full performances for recording."
-Sound-Guy, www.gearslutz.com
How I Use Band-in-a-Box® to Create Shots/Chops
Band-in-a-Box® user Henry Clarke creates a lot of great songs with Band-in-a-Box®, and he's shared his steps for creating the shots/chops within his recent song Lonely in a Crowd.

Review - Loops-with-Style PAK 2 for Band-in-a-Box® 2020
"Dr. Dave" Walker is at it again! You may remember his recent reviews of both Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac and Xtra Styles PAK 9 - now he has something to say about our Loops-with-Style PAK 2 - check it out: Click here to read...
With money being tight for most musicians, this is a wonderful gift for those on a limited budget. At $29, it offers months and years of fun and experimentation, bringing many ideas to fruition as songs with enough variation so that your audience doesn’t jump to "aw, that's a computer!" while still keeping the power of the software in your hands.
-"Dr. Dave" Walker
Thank you again Dr. Dave for the great review!

Like the latest post from Tangmo:
My New Favorite Thing - Extra Style PAK #9 with Loop Pack #2
I set up an eight bar progression with some simple pushes, shots, holds, and rests for reference. Then I started auditioning styles--Three hours later, I am invigorated, inspired, and just plain smiling big. Really CHOICE! From "down to earth" to eclectic, this is a really fun pak.
Great job, folks!
