I'm imagining what my ancestral homeland is like, never having been there.. Mementu di Agrigento ====================== We came to this island trek expecting just to find Distant cousins, family tree From Palermo toward the sea; Show us Naro, there where it began. In mediterranean sun our destination lies Naro nestled on the hill Where our family's living still But this island has more than family ties.. Chorus: Her stunning beauty treats the eye, Neath' cloudless skies above; Sicilian memento, Life lentimento, Love Agrigento, Call it the Isle of Love! Descending the mountain road there's richness to explore: Grecian ruins, southern shores, Turkish steps, the local lore, Friendly neighbors who open wide their doors-- ========================= Style is _NEWAGEK.STY (New Age Bossa w/ Koto Synth) RealTracks in style: ~~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~2263:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm 80sPopMedium Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~1104:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm BossaGrooveComp Ev 140 RealTracks in style: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealDrums in style: BossaBrushesPerc^1-a:Congas, No Kit , b:Congas, Shaker, Triangle, No Kit

Very melodic. The intro reminded of the James Bond theme.
Your compositions are always very interesting to listen to.
Great lyrics. Rob

Hello, Tom
Listening to your music is always a big fun for me.
And this song is no exception.
The melody is really nice.
The Semitone descent lines of minor cliché (Am - Am#5 - Am6 - Am7) is also my favorite.
The way to use E7#9 is orthodoxy and very effective.
The modulation at the chorus is very latin and feels good.
The obligatos of Accordion, Hamond B3 organ, Cello, etc. are also very comfortable.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

That is actually a really cool idea for a song. It would be really neat to be able to explore the places your ancestors once lived.
Really cool arrangement. Thanks for sharing!

I like the strings - they immediately catch the ear, and you continue to do interesting orchestration throughout.
The drums kicking in at the chorus caught me by surprise - clever. I also like the overlapping chorus at the end.
Good song, with lots of ear candy to enjoy!

There's just so much to like about this.
The Latin vibe, the quality vocals, the strings, the total arrangement and so much more.
Going back for another listen.

Nice work on this one, Tano  It has an absolutely infectious groove, and I like all the subtleties to the backing music too. It's almost like the closer the listen, the more you can pick out. And as always with you - your vocal performance is strong and distinct. Really well done! Thanks for sharing

Very cool song!! Are you a Michael Franks fan? I hear some of his vibe in your tunes, and your vocal processing is quite similar. Very much enjoyed this! Take care. Greg

#TBT Band-in-a-Box® 2017
Three years ago we were just rounding up our BETA testers to help finish up the testing of our Band-in-a-Box® 2017 for Mac!
With that version, we redesigned the main screen GUI, added support for popular .SFZ sound format as well as PG Music’s Hi-Q sounds (sforzando SFZ Synth.), added Natural Arrangements options and Hi-Q Guitar RealCharts, applied many, many, many enhancements to the existing powerful program features, and more! Read all about Band-in-a-Box® 2017 here.
Now, three years later, we're thrilled to say that we're already done BETA testing, and weeks into the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac release! Of course, that means we're having a SALE on Upgrade packages, but only until April 30th!
Band-in-a-Box® - Trombone RealTracks!
Welcome to the Team David!
We are thrilled to say that we've added David to our Customer Service Team here at PG Music!
You may have already noticed him - he's already made his appearance here on the Forums, chiming in with assistance and User Showcase Song Feedback.
Welcome to the team David!
Updated Song Titles Browser in Band-in-a-Box® 2020!
If you're looking for a Band-in-a-Box® Style in the feel of a familiar/popular song title, then the Song Titles Browser option in the Band-in-a-Box® StylePicker is the perfect feature for you!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2020, we’ve added 3,400 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now 14,000 titles to search from!
Just type in a familiar song title or artist name - once you have found the song, press the [OK - Find Matching Styles] button. This will take you to the StylePicker window with styles that best match the tempo, feel, and genre of the selected song title.
Didn't find the song you were searching for? Post your title request to our Wishlist forum: Songs to add to Band-in-a-Box Titles database - we think that the 3,400 new titles added with Version 2020 is proof that we're paying attention!
Learn more about the different features of the Band-in-a-Box® StylePicker here.
SongPicker Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac!
The Band-in-a-Box® SongPicker has been enhanced with our newest 2020 version!
The SongPicker now builds faster for large song lists (>30K and up to 60,000 songs). The [Song] button (or the [Open] button) now has 3 additional menu items to launch the SongPicker.
- Open SongPicker in Current Folder: This opens the SongPicker in the current folder of the last loaded song.
- Open SongPicker in Home Folder: This opens the SongPicker in the home folder, which is Applications/Band-in-a-Box/MySongs or as set in the SongPicker.
- Open SongPicker in Favorite Folder: This launches the Favorite Folder dialog which allows you to choose any previously used folder where a song was loaded from, and then open the SongPicker in that folder.
In the SongPicker, there is a new “Open in Home” option. If this is enabled, the SongPicker will always open in the home folder instead of the current folder when you press the default [Song] button to open the SongPicker.
Searching for songs matching a chord progression or melody has been enhanced. There are three new checkboxes: "Key must match exactly," "Chord Extension must match exactly", and "Time Signature must match."
Click here to jump to the SongPicker subject in our New Features video to learn more. (32:11)
