Very cool concept, Robert! I like what you did here, very clever.
Nice job with the vocal production, loved the "Oh no!" bit and the way you handled the bridge.
And Scott always has a knack for adding just what the songs needs.
Nicely done, enjoyed the listen!

Cool sixties sound with a little The Clash-like sound here and there. Nice arrangement!

Sounds like R.E.M. to me
really catchy
at first the delay on the guitar was throwing me, seemed to clash with the drums
went back for a second listen, I think its fine, if it was me I would've made that first
verse more stripped down.
I've written a song about Truman, I could fit your second verse right into mine,
it's about American history, no one seems to remember that other Presidents
split the nation, Harry once had an approval rating of 22!
enjoyed the song as I always do when you guys post

"false alarm
faux pas or a crime
changing the world
one mistake at a time"
A clever write. The production was interesting - fitting for the subject matter. The string quartet was an excellent choice.
Scott's guitar work works well, too. Y'all need a band name!

Robert / Scott
Catchy sound - some nice playing by Scott and a strong set of lyrics and vocals.
You've turned into quite a songwriting team.

This was another fun project. Had to do a little research working on the actual song. Went through quite a few of the Beatle songs to get a feel for the tone and George's style. Boy he did some really cool stuff. Simple but so effective and complimentary to the song. As I was signed and sealed Beatlemanic when I was a kid and have to admit still am, this was allot of fun to work on.
Robert has such a cool way with lyrics and melodies. Look forward to 2019.. Merry Christmas Everyone..

Nicely done, enjoyed the listen! This one came out of left field- its fun to be challenged and have to go Googling on a subject sometimes. And of course I know Scott`s got my back! Cool sixties sound with a little The Clash-like sound here and there. Nice arrangement! Glad you liked the 60`s references,thanks for your comments. Thanks, Ed! Sounds like R.E.M. to me

Kenny, Yup, we have very short memories when it comes to history... maybe that helps us sleep! I can hear how that opening verse could have had more of a build. Good comments- we appreciate your support! I`ll go looking for your Truman song. Robert

fj Thanks for those positives,Floyd. Oh now I`ll stop writing songs for days thinking up names... off the top I kinda like Junkyard Angel (a line from our first collaboration). Robert / Scott

I guess it was only fitting that we listened to this on a day when the news is full of stories about Russia's new missile delivery system!
Clever and potent.
Your arrangement, the BiaB band and Scott are all in the pocket to support your write and vocal.
You guys have had some great productions this year and we look forward to more!

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."
