Desert Crossing On my way 'cross a desert of plenty and opulence; Far away from oases of blessed emptiness; The blazing, endless dunes, And sizzling afternoons, Scorched by the heat of wealth. Straight ahead is an image of quenching luxuries Or instead should I wander the path my spirit sees? For this desert trek of life Isn't barren and parched by the heat of the sun But it's marked with Comfort and wealth and all the finest things This quest for my soul. On my way 'cross a desert of plenty and opulence Far away from oases of blessed emptiness But this desert of my life Isn't barren and parched by the heat of the sun I see a vision-- Riches and wealth, all the finest wonders So cooling! Right in front of me! It's just a mirage that can't mislead me; This desert has freed me--I'm home! ================================ Style = _SLBOSKB - Slow Bossa w/ Poll Winners RD = BossaBrushes#1, BossaLewis01 and BossaRockPerc^9 RT's = 465 Bass, 1104 Nylon Rhythm Guitar, 1773 E Piano JazzFunkMovin Solo, 1070 Trumpet Solo, Jazz Poppy MIDI from ST3 = Strings, Surdo, Tremolo Strings, Wood Block, Shaker, Piano

So cool how the backtrack and vocal had three different timings but fit so well together. Very interesting. Well done.. _________________________ Scott Collingwood https://soundcloud.com/scottt709 https://soundcloud.com/spiritlevel-ca

I can hear John Pizzarelli doing this. Two thumbs up. _________________________ I was in Home Depot today and a young kid called me an old fart If you are looking for your child he is in a dryer in aisle 4. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB and RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software and some hardware.

There is a lot happening here, but it avoids sounding crowded. I'm really curious what time signature this is in! Great job, and thanks for sharing _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

Regarding time sign, it’s just a 4/4..If you think about the rhythm section like a piano, then the “chords” are in the right hand, and play on the off-beats.

The chord structure gives complexity to the overall delivery. Lyrically, this is just so catchy. Great, great, great. _________________________ BIAB & RB2021(Audiophile), SonarPlatinum, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M StudioMonitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

Speaking of which, your singing way is exactly like Tom Jobim. It sounds like hearing Jobim's new song with his own vocal. How to use each instrument is also very nice. Strings are comfortable, too. I would like to hear your spectacular orchestration once some day. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

It painted a very distinct image in my head. I can see a guy in a suit with his tie loose and crooked around his neck, his arms sagging at his sides and he takes this fast-long strides and just bobs along as he wanders this this opulent desert. Like he's not bothered by being there under the blazing sun, but like he's looking for something and hasn't found it yet. Very cool tune. Thanks for sharing. _________________________ Cheers, Ember

Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac Review – Users' Dreams Come True

Read all about what "Dr. Dave" Walker thinks of his latest copy of Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac with his review, Band-in-a-Box for Mac 2021 – Users' Dreams Come True.

"2021 is a big leap forward to the best Band-in-a-Box for Mac yet! If you have been putting off upgrading, or even if not, NOW is the time to upgrade! And if you haven't got it yet, you owe it to yourself to get Band-in-a-Box 2021.

Maybe the most important point from all the talk about this version is that PG Music is listening to you, their customers. So if you have a feature that you really want in the program, write to them or chat from their web site. Let them know and yours just might be the next feature added."
-"Dr. Dave" Walker

Thanks again Dr. Dave for your enthusiastic feedback, we're thrilled that you love what we've done with Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac!
