Recently, after I got rather boisterous during a discussion, my wife quietly told me "to chill". ...that I was getting a little "overbearing" and then, said... "Sometimes a little bit of you goes a long way" Well, heck. There's a song. A LITTLE BIT OF ME i know sometimes i come on a little bit too strong obsessive and overbearing some folks say well since i fell in love with you those labels might belong 'cause a little bit of me goes a long long way it'll go the distance, pass any test that little chunk of me deep in my chest when it comes to you my heart is like a runaway train it's the little bit of me that goes a long long way come on baby try me maybe i'll surprise even you i'll never slip, slack, slide, stumble or stray my heart stands willing and able to prove it will stay true it's the little bit of me that goes a long long way it'll go the distance, pass any test that little chunk of me deep in my chest when it comes to you my heart is like a runaway train it's the little bit of me that goes a long long way The BAND: RealTracks in song: ~1846:Bass, Electric, CountryBoogieRootFive Sw 140 RealTracks in song: 384:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Rock Southern Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2625:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm BluesBoogieBassAndLicks Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 1718:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockStraightBrent Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 848:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryRockRiff Ev 120 (A:sync) RealTracks in song: 2688:Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockBrentSimple Ev 120 RealDrums in style: BluesRockSlowEv^4-a:Snare , b:Snare, HiHat I played some electric guitar...

Floyd, buddy, friend, co-writer, humanitarian extraordinaire, Let me see if I get this straight: Your wife, glowering at you like a first lady on inauguration day, says: "Floyd, you are so full of yourself, always bragging and boasting, making blowhard speeches, swaggering and preening and strutting like a rooster. A little bit of you goes a long way." And you say: "Thank you everybody, thank you, yes I know I am great, just fantastic, and I should write a song about that, that part about a little bit of me going a long way, because that is just so fantastic, so true, so true, because I am so long, so very, very long, you know everybody says it, and it's just fantastic, and when I write my song about myself it's going to say that, and be just fantastic, because no one goes longer than me, I promise you this, I promise you this." ?????? Just kidding, dude. Funny song. But, I really want you to run for President. Really.

Yep, this song sounds like it came from our house!
Great vocals (as usual), great mix (as usual) and super lyrics.
This is one super song and a keeper.

Wow, you nailed this! Very, very catchy and just an overall example of strong songwriting. I loved the harmonies on this, and that kickin guitar solo at at around 1:45. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio among classic hits. Great job on this - thanks so much for sharing

Floyd,
I like the way you turned your wife`s comment into a back-at-ya song!
This song has one of the catchiest choruses I`ve heard here and those Janice harmonies are mixed so we can hear how good she is.
Also that little vocal swoop you do on "little bit of me" is cool.
Excellent!
Robert

Well Floyd, first of all I hope you guys are still together  ? Yeah, I know, the same goes for Rob from time to time. I think it's a 'male musician' kind of thing  But the song, however, is very nice, not too overbearing. Good backing vocals by Janice. Anne-Marie

Once again Floyd, tight pro sound with flawless vocal performance! I like the way Janice switched from harmony to unison and then back to harmony in the chorus! Great job getting those guitars all tightly working together in the rhythm bed! Very catchy tune! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Floyd,
Liked it a bunch! A touch of the classic sound with lots of modern country music treatment. Janice's harmony os, as always, splendid. The girl can song! And that lead male vocal track is pretty danged good, too!
Yo9u always give us nothing but first class entertainment - just another example here. You set the bar pretty danged high fro the rest of us. Thanks for a super listen! Good stuff from beginning to end.

Alan

The harmonies really lift this already cool track.
My only crit would be the kick drum sounds a little too clicky.
Small nit though.
Cool.

floyd, this is another one of your "hits"! Very well crafted. Sounds like something Vince Gill would do - and that's a real compliment in my book.
You just keep cranking them out.
Great sound, and feel to this one. Everything well up to your usual standards of excellence!
Steve

A Look Back... Band-in-a-Box® 2015 NAMM Demonstration #TBT
Watch Tobin (and Charlie!) demonstrate Band-in-a-Box® 2015 for Windows at the 2015 NAMM Show: Play video...
Tobin does a great job of showing just how easy it is to create a song with Band-in-a-Box!
This video was posted on January 23, 2015 to the Keyboard Instrument Chops and Gear YouTube Channel.
Enhance Your Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Windows Installation
Ordering Your Band-in-a-Box® is Easy!
When you order any PG Music products directly from www.pgmusic.com (or www.bandinabox.com) you'll receive immediate links to start downloading your order! Even if you choose to have a backup copy of your Band-in-a-Box® packages shipped, you'll still have the download links available to you - no need to wait!
We've made it even easier to get started with Band-in-a-Box® with the Easy Payment Plan 4 - when you choose this payment option you'll pay four equal monthly payments starting on the day of your order.
Choose your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows package & order here.
Using Mac? Order here.
When you get to the checkout, simply click on Select Easy Payment Plan 4 for this product to apply this option.
Note: This only applies to this Band-in-a-Box product, and does not apply to other products that you might have in your order, including the physical backup copy if selected.
Band-in-a-Box® File Associations
You may have noticed when you were installing Band-in-a-Box® for Windows that you were asked if you would like to Associate Band-in-a-Box songs and styles with Band-in-a-Box? But, what does that mean?
It's actually pretty simple - basically, if you select this option while you're installing the program, files with the extensions .SGU, .MGU, and other Band-in-a-Box files will open directly in the program if you select them from outside the program.
Missed this option during your setup, but you'd like to apply it now? Go to File | File Utilities | Associate File types with Explorer within the program.

Do you use RealBand (included in all Band-in-a-Box® for Windows purchases)? Download the latest free update, which resolves a small viewing issue for Windows 11 users.
When you download the latest update for RealBand 2021, it will add all the updates we've made this year. See the full list here.
Ear Training Games in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
October 1, 2021 is National Kids Music Day!
Head to the Practice Window in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows, and you'll see fun games that are fun ear training options for kids: Music Replay & Pitch Invasion.
Of course, you don't have to be a kid to like these games, I think there a fun way to learn at any age!
Music Replay is just what it sounds like - the program plays a 1-bar melody, and the user plays it back. Get it right, and you'll keep building that melody (and skill) within the game - get it wrong, and you'll be met with a warning tone and have to try again... it's quite addictive, and a lot of fun!
If you like a classic arcade game, then you'll love Pitch Invasion! We've managed to incorporate aliens with pitch-recognition skills in this exciting game, where you'll match the pitch of the alien ship descending towards your planet trying to destroy your collection of instruments - match the pitch and you've saved your instruments, make a mistake and the ship keeps coming... you'll have a few tries to get it right, if you're quick, but if all your instruments are destroyed - it's game over! The game speeds up as your skills improve, and you'll earn points along the way, with bonus points available throughout the game.
Open up your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows today to give it a try!
These ear training games are also included in Musical Arcade for Windows.
