Greg,
Haha grin
I once wrote a song called "If I was a cat" but this is infinitely better mad
Thank goodness the dog didn't go the Veterinarian!
REALLY enjoyed that

All the best

Lovely vocal (which was not a surprise) and a complimentary backing track to complete the song.
Excellent work and a fine song.

My only gripe is the link between verses & choruses - seems perfunctory - you could set up the next section with a couple of chords and a lick of the melody.
Nevertheless - nice job.


Thanks Ray. I appreciate the listen and the feedback! Take care. Greg

Greg,

This is outrageously good... A real masterpiece. The lyric, track selection, production and your vocal is stellar.

I absolutely love this.

Or anywhere.

Writing at the highest level.
Every. Single. Word.

I wanted to quote the best lines. But that would be THE ENTIRE SONG...

The simple piano/bass/strings arrangement is perfect. Your vocal is cool - it would work perfectly for a animated dog cartoon video.
(Maybe Pat Marr would do one!!)

Randy Newman should put this on his next record. (Really)

So far out of the park it ain't funny.

ZOWIE. ZOWIE. ZOWIE.

Thanks so much Floyd. This is indeed very high praise. You have no idea how much this means coming from you! Take care. Greg

Greg,

As everyone has said, this is really clever writing. You've done a really great job making the metaphor and extending it right through to the end.... and that pay-off really seals the deal.

Excellent performing (as always), and very engaging from start to finish.

I totally enjoyed this,
Noel

Your vocal brings the meaning home & the simple arrangement works well.
Great song.

THanks Robert! You have been killing it lately..prolific and so good! Take care. Greg

Greg, first of all nice slow down on the end. What a great write! So funny and heartwarming. Anyone who has ever loved their dog will love this one. It does bring to mind Newman, however your vocal is head and shoulders above anything he could have done. The arrangement is perfection and you should take a big bow-wow for this one. Excellence from every view, Tom

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."
