Great lines. "You're yawn is harmony". Now that's a love line.
Love the jazz vocal, progression, groove and vamping. Artful production as well. Really enjoyed the listen.

Wow! That was a wild ride! So creative, and way out there...I loved it! I’m not even sure what some of the sound effects were supposed to be but you’re weird lyrics that you placed over the Nervous Jazz beat gave the whole thing a very strange but seductive vibe. I feel this is the result of very open-minded creative “sound” composition and the result was interesting, curious, Funny, but at the same time very high-quality. it’s something I want to listen to again. Kudos on the great work, man! Thank you very much! I am so glad that you enjoyed it. Man that was swingin’!! Lawrence, this is a fantastic offering from you!! The vocal fits that jazz backtrack perfectly! You always produce such high quality work! Thanks, Torrey Torrey, thank you. I always enjoy you're songs too. Lawrence,
There are not enough good things to say about this song...
You are a true artist and visionary...
Love everything about this.
Bob Thank you Bob. That's very generous and kind of you to say. I love everything about this song. There is so much going on here, but it all meshes well. Great singing. Thank you very much. I'm happy to hear it that it all came together. It did seem at times that it might go off the rails.

Hi Lawrence,
Holy crap - is this blistering good, or what? Busy but not cluttered - not at all easy to do. Totally vamp! Your vocal chops smooth over this like butter on hot bread. Your voicing reminds me a bit of Vic Damone. If you're anywhere close to my age, you might remember him!!
This is one of the coolest songs posted on the forum in quite some time. I've missed a few, but I'm willing to bet this ranks at or near the top for creativity, uniqueness and delivery. A tip of the hat and tons of kudos headed your way.

Lawrence,
Very nice jazz song!
It is very bluesy.
And your vocal is splendid.
I agree with floyd.
It's like Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Tom Waits and Frank Zappa got together and one of the Franks said "Hey! Let's write something!" (likely the other one said "Okay. Let me get a drink first.")
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Lawrence, I've got to agree with Dave when he says... Man, how cool was that?!
Great groove and I love the vocal delivery, just so smooth and laid back. Piano is killer! I love the sound and vibe of the jazz that you've created here. It's sophisticated, involving and really inventive. Excellent work! Regards, Noel

"gruverider"... Let me guess: the background sounds represented the sounds that you weren't hearing because of your rapturous, single-minded infatuation with "My Dear" ??? Regardless, "Not Another Sound" has got a big, propulsive "Cadillac drive" going down in the rhythm section that swings like a hipster's snapping fingers, a bass line that plots its course like it knows where it's going, and a jangling acoustic piano that leaps and lopes all around the beat  . I dig the brief, mysterious, icy-sounding effects. Strings? Synth?. Your lyrics possess the cleverly improvisational stylings of the late Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz" performances. Just goes to show you what you can come up with when you put on your jazz-colored eyeglasses  !!! Like, wild, baby! LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

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!

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.

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."
