floyd
A wonderful piece of storytelling.
The music sits perfectly behind the lyric with your trademark delivery.
Lovely mix and full of superb lines and touches.
Peter Floyd, I could quote all the praise of listeners so far- Peter sums up my thoughts well. This is the best song I`ve heard about "bums" ( we called them tramps in the UK) since Ralph McTell`s Streets of London. Going back for another liten to all that streetwise wisdom! Robert Thanks, Robert. Wasn't familiar with Ralph McTell, so went and had a listen... the internet is such an amazing thing... Hello, floyd
There is a deep taste of the folk song in this tune.
I like your rock vocals very much, but this song is also very nice.
How to use RealTracks is really wonderful.
Particularly Mandolin, Soloist CountryAndy Ev 165.
And as always, your vocals are noteworthy.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - Thanks you very much...

I like it very much Floyd.
As someone said, the lack of chorus may seem odd at first, but it does add power to the storytelling element.
Great job. Wow.
Thanks, Jon. Appreciate that. Just listened to your latest - a Wow right back at ya.... Did we just hear a lost Prine write?
Never noticed the lack of a chorus as the arrangement is perfect for the story and supporting imagery.
The build and variety of instruments is extremely effective and indicative of a heckuva mix.
The vocal was perfect and full of, as Janice said, “richness.”
Many singer songwriters would be delighted to have one or two tunes like this in their repertoire but, man, you are a cornucopia!
J&B
PS We used to talk to an elderly lady, Pearl, who much reminds us of your story.  - I never thought of this as one of my "Prine inspired songs" (I've had many)... more a Jerry Jeff Walker thing, I think... Thanks for the nice review...

Don't think I didn't notice that you "missed" answering my questions.  I'm on to you. I'm like the FBI meets Band In A Box. I'm the FBIAB? You know how I feel about the song. LOVE IT!

A BIG WOOOOOOOOOW!!!! This is just great storytelling! I was first struck by the line David referenced. BUT, the whole song is so beautifully put together. Brilliant writing! The repetition of the verse structure as the story unfolds just tangles the listener into the story. Reminds me of something by Jerry Jeff or Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone. The arrangement is PERFECT! And the vocal is exactly the right tone for the story. In the LP days, this would be a first or last song on one side of the Best of Floyd Jane. Awesome Floyd!!! Take care. Greg Greg - thank you for such an awesome review. Warmed my heart...

Great story over a top notch arrangement. The entire musical bed is outstanding. It really holds my interest. Enjoyed this a lot and for some reason the bass had my attention throughout the song. It really fit the vibe of the song. A good story of life, and a bit in the vein of "Wrong Mailbox"
Good song by every measure.
Charlie
Thanks, Charlie. I certainly appreciate that you remember Wrong Mailbox...

Great arrangement and mix. I appreciate you sharing the story behind the song. The song draws you in, the longer you listen the more you want to hear. Really like the fadeout. Nice to have you drop in, Jim. Thanks...

I love that story!
The song itself reminded me of Homeless Brother (at least I seem to remember that was the name of the song) by Don Mclean.
Top quality as usual!
Rob Thanks, Rob. I think I may have had that LP - though it was one of those that I played a few times then forgot... went and listened to the song on Youtube - seems familiar, so I must have known it at some point...

Genius writing again from you Floyd.
This is magical, both in its sensational instrumentation, but even more so because of the sensational lyrics.
This is story telling - put to music - at its absolute best.
A real winner. Polished delivery. Class? No question at all. Trev - I really appreciate that review. Thank you... Another great tune. I just love your songs. The story behind this one is really cool and the way you tell the story is great. Sammy - thanks for your support... looking forward to what you do in 2018... Saddle up - I'll give you a run for your money, son... Giddyup..

Article: The History of Play-A-Long (and More)
We came across this JazzTimes article, published today, called The History of Play-A-Long (and More), which highlights how technology has "blown the options for interaction music education wide open" in the last 50 years - and they mention Band-in-a-Box®!
Check it out! Click here to read...
Band-in-a-Box® - Freezing Tracks
Like what you hear in Band-in-a-Box®? Make sure to Freeze the track(s) or song! Once frozen, it won't be regeneraged or change when you play it again - and your choice isn't final, since you can unfreeze them just as easily:
-press the blue snowflake button within the track name of the mixer window
-press the blue snowflake button within the expanded toolbar of the program (Ctrl + T will swap between the two toolbar views), and select the track(s)
Note: If you want to force Band-in-a-Box® to generate tracks without adjusting the Freeze settings, hold down the Shift key as you press the [Generate and Play] button (the fly-by hint will remind you of that) or choose the menu command Play | Play Special | Generate (even if tracks are frozen).
To learn more about freezing your Band-in-a-Box® tracks or songs, visit Chapter 5: Playing Songs | Freezing tracks of our Online Manual.
With Band-in-a-Box®, Making Music Has Never Been Easier!
We came across this recent post, Music Making Software: Record, Edit, Create and Share Your Own Songs, which includes Band-in-a-Box® in their list of software you'll need to record and edit your own songs!
One of our favourite products, and one that doesn’t seem to come up much in discussions about music making software, is Band-In-A-Box from PG Music. This is probably the longest established and certainly one of the most popular music making software packages of all time. Already packed with features, the latest version has added functions that in our opinion make this an essential buy for musicians in any genre, for keyboard players, guitarists, singers, in fact any musician looking for an outstanding tool to make the most of their creative ideas.
-www.musicrepo.com
The Download Manager - Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
The "Download Manager" within Band-in-a-Box® for Windows is a great tool to confirm or help with the installation of your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows program!
What does the Download Manager do?
Automatically installs Band-in-a-Box® content (RealTracks, RealDrums, etc.) in the background, so you don't have to sit there the whole time! It can also confirm that you've completely installed your purchase.
How do you use it?
Within the program, go to Help | Utilities | Run Download/Install Manager now. Using your activation code, the program will analyze the installation folders, and list anything that still needs to be downloaded and installed.
Learn more about the Download Manager with this tutorial, or check out the topic within the Online Manual.
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows Online Manual - Chord List & Shortcuts
Visit the Chord List of our Online Manual, and you'll see all the chords that can be used within the program! The list includes a few Tricky Chords and Shortcut Chords that you may find useful too!
Tricky Chords:
C5b This is "C flat 5." It is spelled this way to avoid confusion.
C2, C5, C4, C69, C7alt, Cm7#5
You can type C-7 for Cm7 (i.e. use the minus sign) or C7-9 for C7b9.
Shortcut Chords
If you enter a lot of songs, you will appreciate these shortcut keys.
J = Maj7
H = m7b5 (H stands for Half diminished)
