At some point everyone needs to make a choice... The best you can do is be happy with what you've got. A song about unrealized dreams and the "settling in"... If you haven't ever used the nylon guitar RTs, you need to give them a try. They are a big part of this production. For this, I used a chunk of it as a "signature lick". Another area that some folks have stated "BIAB can't do". Not true. The BAND: RealTracks in song: ~1843:Bass, Electric, CountryBoogieRootFive Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~2201:Guitar, Nylon, Background CountryBrent Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2021:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBalladJohn Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 408:Guitar, Resonator, Background Allis Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~1677:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^2-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat MONTANA SUNSETS i'm gonna be a cowboy i'm american you know where a boy can be what he chooses and dreaming will make it so but for now i'll do what the folks expect say what they want me to say but let it be known, until i'm grown i'm living for the day (when i'll) watch montana sunsets talk with an indian guide square dance at a neighbor's ranch then hit the range and ride i found someone who shares my dream the circle t's in sight i'm gonna be a cowboy we'll sing prarie songs at night but we can't leave things unfinished here folks depend on us but as soon as we get the loose ends to fit it's montana or bust and we'll watch montana sunsets and talk with an indian guide we'll square dance at a neighbor's ranch then hit the range and ride i was handy with a six gun i could have scored in a rodeo but sometimes things do come up you know how these things go we never made montana but i still sometimes dream of cattle drives and tumbleweed of hearing eagles scream martha, bring my slippers bring my tv guide john wayne's on tonight he'll hit the range and ride the sun sets in montana where cowboys still reside it's late night in new york time to hit the range and ride... pleasant dreams, martha. Have at it. floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I'm with Bob, I love that chorus especially. Excellent vocal, and the way you use the harmonies in key spots, "where a boy can be what he chooses" for example, is the sort of thing a good producer would bring to a session. I guess you are using a piece of that acoustic part to build the signature riff? I can see how that would be effective and you will still get something unique. Mix is perfect, sounds great though the studio headphones. If all country music sounded like this I would listen to more of it _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

The tune is engaging, very melodic, and with the great write/vocal/[production it's a showcase for both floyd and the User Forum. We will resist to temptation to compare it to any particular artist or time period. For us it is timeless Americana. We grow weary of hearing that good music only comes from certain pigeon wholes...mostly in the past. "At some point everyone needs to make a choice... The best you can do is be happy with what you've got. " Well, that will be floating around the head for a while. The signature lick works really well. This production is a great example for anybody who doubts the power of BiaB in talented hands. J&B _________________________ Featured Song J&B Soundcloud J&B YouTube J&B Website

It sounds effortless, and shows off the nylon string guitar to boot. Ticked all the right boxes for me. Didn't fire up my inner critic about anything. Well, I was going mention the inherent chauvinism about "get my slippers", and ask what century the singer was born it... Then it dawned on the that was the point! _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hello Floyd.It appears American has a new standard. everything is just perfect. When I was teenager back in the 60s, my brother and I often laid in our respective twin beds and talked about Wyoming in the same way you relate to Montana in this song. Well, in 1966 I drove from Cheyenne to Salt lake City on Interstate 80 in '57 Chevy convertible. At least I got to see the danged place! What a great song and fabulous listen. This is music, regardless of genre at its best.

The look at the choices we make, determining where we end up in life is excellent. Too many people have dreams that they never follow for one reason or another. Yep... an introspective on life's choices. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.

Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Windows Reviews!

Head to www.gearsltuz.com for the latest Band-in-a-Box® reviews by Sound-Guy and CoolGuitarGear!

Band-in-a-Box continues to evolve into an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians. You can produce not only new compositions and arrangements, but also perform them with excellent musical “talent”. It’s easy to use the basic functions, and challenging enough to keep you occupied for years. As it has been for years, it’s an amazing program.
-Sound-Guy

From my perspective, as a long-time user of BIAB, the above improvements, changes and additions definitely take the program to the next step. The new elements and audio upgrading are fantastic and I’m even more excited to work with this version than some others in the past.
