It proves that back to basics usually means back to good!

Hi David,
Ry Cooder has always been a hero of mine - no one is better at creating a groove, so I really welcomed your comments. Pleased you thought it was fun - that's exactly what I was going for.
Many thanks.

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much indeed for that, it's much appreciated.
I always value your opinion.

You've definitely got the knack for creating entertainment. I really enjoyed this a great deal. The lyrics are so very visual and everything about the presentation gleams with expertise. I found myself imagining one of your animated chalk drawings as I listened to the unfolding story of unrequited love, lust and betrayal!

All the best,
Noel

Hi Noel.
Thanks for describing it as "entertainment" - that's really what I was after with this one.
Maybe I'll re-visit it with an animation one of these days. I always enjoy doing those, but
they just take so much time...
So, many thanks for looking in and the kind review.
Cheers, ROG.

You had me sold with the "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" line.

Great groove, fun track, and guitar work is right on the money as usual.

Good one, Rog!

ROG,

There`s a raw youthful energy that really carries this- and the lyrics are fun and clever to match.
To all the influences/bands brought to mind I`ll add :The Undertones -punk with a pop shine.
Very enjoyable!

It's all been said and I agree with all of it.

This is one great fun loving 60's style rock song. It reminded me a little of the Kinks.

All I can add is that you should have fun more often.


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

I'll piggyback on Tom's comment, too...

What a great sound! A stunning mix.

The bass is superb. The guitars are all excellent. The drums sound live. The vocal sits PERFECTLY.

The lead is exceptional - very musical.

This has the energy of a live KINKS set.

Love it! Top shelf.

fj

Hi Floyd,
You really are too kind.
I remember the excitement when the Kinks first hit the scene in the 60s - totally different from anything which had gone before. At 15 I was playing Kinks songs in our band at the school dance and then later in the clubs. Wonderful memories.
To say - "This has the energy of a live KINKS set" is a fantastic complement. Thank you SO much.
Cheers, ROG.

However, the tune and the lyrics are great. Despite the "adultery", they are quite humorous. Made ME laugh anyway.
Stonking beat to it and good to hear that Tele working for a living. Gotta be on 10s to get that end bend, or you have fingers of steel. And its good to know that some people are still using the old Peavey Backstagers.
Superb mix too.
Really enjoyed it, Rog.
Cheers
ian

Hi Ian,
Glad you enjoyed the lyrics. A happy little tale about suspicion and betrayal, not written
from personal experience this time.
Yeah, the Tele has 10s fitted - good spot there my friend.
The Peavey Backstage has served me well for many years. It's brilliant, though most people
just think I'm too mean to buy a new amp.
Many thanks for all your comments.
Cheers, ROG.

Hi Ember,
Many thanks for the nice comments. I'm always pleased to get a positive review
from the "staff". Foot tapping is always a good sign!

You nailed this one! Right from the first few measures, I knew I was going to enjoy this. It's got an incredible groove, and the riffs here all pair together effortlessly. I'm definitely getting a late 60's/early 70's vibe here.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing smile

I’m not even aware of Powertracks and what can be done with it or them. So I can forget that and just comment on just how strong the song is.

The melody sticks with you - easy to say but not easy to write. Your fine vocal, equally fine guitar, great lyric and the punchy mix are along with the melody just continues to invite one back for another listen. And that is what we’re gonna do.

Fun!

J&B

Hi J&B,
I'm just flattered to think of Janice singing along!
Pleased that you enjoyed this one and many thanks for all the nice comments.

Hi Marty,
"A compilation of rock history". Wow, many thanks for that - much appreciated.
The "Yeahs" were just a bit of fun, referencing back to the Beatles "She Loves You",
but they seem to have caught people's attention.
Thanks for the listen.

Hi Robert,
The "youthful energy" was a welcome comment. It's good to know that I can still raise the energy,
even if the youth is long gone! "Undertones"? Yes, very welcome too.
Many thanks for the review - pleased you enjoyed it.

Hi Mario,
The Kinks? Yeah, always been a fan since I was at school and playing their stuff in the band.
Many thanks for looking in on this one - much appreciated.

Hi Rich,
Yes, definitely a "Sneakers" influence there. I'm a great fan of Tommy Tucker who
did the original version. He wrote it too under his real name of Robert Higginbotham.
He did some amazing blues tracks as well, back in the 60s.
Pleased you enjoyed it.
Many thanks, ROG.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
