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..

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
