Hey Scott,

Glad you found your dancin' shoes! I appreciate all the nice comments. Actually, the guitar track is an RT - I liked it better than what I was able to do. Best to you.

Your infallible ear for a classic sounding song shows up again- this is excellent rocker.

Robert,

Many thanks for chiming in and for the really nice comments. I played a lot of this music, plus a lot of country, for many, many years. As I've said many times, I like almost all genres of music. MNy philosophy os, for the most part, there's not a lot of bad music ... just decent music played poorly. Best to you.

Howdy Tom,

Haven't hurt myself yet. Almost 72 years old and only been in the hospital twice - when I got shot up in Vietnam and when they removed the tumor in my colon a few years back. I used to dance a lot - contrary to most musicians - and I'm actually a pretty decent dancer. Never hurt myself dancing - yet!

Glad ya liked it - thanks for letting me know. wishing you the best,

Alan

Hello Ez,

Those were some pretty good times to to be transported back to - at least for me they were. I was playing in a band 25 - 28 nights a month and bringing in some serious green. And having a great time doing it. My voice is the aonly thing that's grisled at my age - mostly the stuff between my forehead and my toes. Many thansk for the listen ad very nice comments. Best to you.

Alan

Howdy!

Thanks for listening and commenting so nicely. I sure do appreciate it. I've never had a comfortable feel with rock - either as a musician or vocalist. But sometimes ya just gotta do it! Wishing you the best.

Alan, no apologies needed for any of this...you hit the "style" ball right out of the park!
Nicely architected track, elements hitting on all cylinders to get our juices flowing and feets moving'.

Only feedback I could provide is that it sounded like your vocal got drowned out in a couple of places by the strong instrumentals..you could bring the voice forward a bit.

Other than that, really enjoyed listening, and I like the wide diversity of your musical interests!

Thanks!

Good rock and roll write, Alan! Track sounds great and I actually think your vocal is pretty good.

Sounds like something Bob Seger might have done back in the day, enjoyed the listen!

Hi Tano,

Thank you very much! Good to know it checks off a couple of the basics. As far as the vocal mix ... I went back and listen to a couple of Bob Seger songs, sine that's the feel I get for this one, and found the vocals were slightly buried - sane with some of the Eagles song. Butr, I could always bring more forward in my mix. Thanks for the suggestion! Best tyo you.

Alan

Hello Dave,

Thanks a bunch! Several other folks, on and off the forum, have suggested the Bob Seger reference. so I guess that's an accurate analogy. I didn't set out to make a "Seger-sounding-song" but it just kind of evolved in that direction as I added and subtracted various backing tracks. Glad ya l8ked it - thanks!

I like it!! Love the sentiment! I like the nod to Bob Seger, especially since hit Old Time Rock and Roll reflects the same feeling. Well written, well produced! Nice one!! Take care. Greg

Thanks Greg! Glad you enjoyed it! I never was a big Seger fan (neither liked or disliked him) but this one just gravitated in that direction. best to you!

Alan,

Very nice rock'n'roll.
As Scott says, definitely I also want to wear my dancing shoes on.
You are a good rocker.
The distorted slide perfect fits this.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Alan,

there's definitely no need to be that self-critical ! It's just another great song of yours with a perfect backing track, great, great work on the guitar(s) and to me your vocals fit in perfectly.

I wouldn't change a jot, it's just awesome that way and I love it!

Take care,

Stefan

Hello Stefan!

You are much too nice, as always! I really appreciate those very kind words! I'm not much of a singer but play a pretty decent guitar - well, used to before focal dystonia messed up my fingers. But I still pick out a decent tune one on a while! Merry Christmas to you and Maha.

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."
