Hi All,

Here's a song about old promises and second chances...

Also, my last song for 2018… smile

[Link no longer valid]

I'm taking off for the sun
How bout you, climb aboard
I'm taking off for the sun
How bout you, baby climb aboard

I'll turn the ship when the nighttime comes
I'll melt the ice when the summer turns and runs
I'm taking off for the sun

I'm taking off for the sun
Where are you, don't be late
I'm taking off for the sun
Where are you, baby don't be late

I'll shoot the moon when you need a hired-gun
I'll reconnect when our signal comes undone
I'm taking off for the sun

I'll make the coffee when the morning comes
I'll paint the stars when we're out of fun
I'm taking off for the sun
Oh I'm taking off for the sun
Yeah I'm taking off for the sun

All BIAB Tracks:
2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085
2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085

Bob,

An excellent "simple" write (not as simple as it seems - a sign of a writer who "knows what he's doing...)

The BAND is excellent. You have found a sound that works perfectly for you songs. Sounds like a band that has been backing you for years (and they know what they are doing, too).

Sounds like a record.

Terrific.

Bob,
A very nice build to this- both instrumentally and in your vocals.
I love the way that guitar track holds the mood without being obtrusive and then comes out for the lead.
Very cool write, performance and production.

Man, what a way to close out 2018. GREAT write....and vocal and production (love the build) to back up that write!

Those guitar fills are perfect for the song.

Kudos!

Hi, Bob !

This tune must be one of your best !
At least is my favourite Bobtune
from now on ! You´re off for the sun !
Maybe, just maybe it would be better to
try mars instead ? I´ve heard it can be
quite warm closer to the sun ?

Just anxious for your wellbeing
as you know !:))

Cheers
Dani

I love everything about this! Man, I could listen to you you sing all day, just something about your voice that gets me.

Killer job on the production too, great dynamics and build, and the mix sounds great through the 'phones.

Well done!

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
Sunday, March 31: closed

Regular hours resume Monday, April 1st - no joke!
