Hi Janne ...

Thank you so much for those very nice comments! I've always loved Gypsy Fiddle. When I was a child, we had a family friend who was 100% Appache (American Indian tribe). He played Gypsy swing - many years ahead of his time here in the States. I can still hear him playing in my mind. I was hooked early!

Your song is really nice! You always have great arrangements and production.

Wishing you the best ...

Alan

I like Gypsy fiddle on this, brings that vintage saloon feel.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.



Hi Misha!

Thank you very much! I'm delighted you like that line - it's my favorite part of the lyric. Wishing you the very best!

Howdy!

Glad you liked it! I appreciate your really nice comments. As I mentioned to Misha, I love Gypsy fiddle. I'm glad you mentioned that line - no one else has. I kind of like it too!

Again, many thanks!

Hello peter ...

Thank you very the very comments - both on the song and the surgery. Much appreciated. Not worried too much about the surgery. My background is visual health and I'm quite cognizant of the medical issue and exactly what they'll be doing.

Wishing you the best ...

Alan

Hi Tom ...

Thank you so much! When I started putting the noise to this one, it all just fell into place ...less than an hour from the time I started contemplating the music until I was ready to record it. As far as the vocal, this one felt pretty. I'm usually not to excited about my vocals, but this one sounded pretty good, I thought.

Again, many thanks.

Alan

Hi Alan.

Well that took me by surprise.

I was expecting something slow and heart-rending in a minor key, but what a delightful
backing to put those lyrics to. A very clever piece of writing and an excellent song.

All the best to you and Di, my friend - you're in our thoughts. Make sure you keep us all
up to speed when you can and hope to see you back on here soon.

Cheers, ROG.

Hi ROG ..

Well, surprises can be good! Glad this was a good one for you. I didn't want a sappy, boo-hoo dirge. The idea was to suggest "we tried, it worked a while but it eventually didn't work anymore. So let's say goodbye in a friendly tone and go our own ways". I think it worked it this time.

Glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for the nice words and the well wishes for Di. I'm having major eye surgery next Friday. They're gonna pop it from the eye socket, go in from the back, make a few repairs and out it all back together and pop it back into place. Soumnds like fun ... eh??!!

Best to you ...

Alan

Hello Greg ...

Always a treat when you drop in! Glad you liked it. Bordering a wee bit toward cheesy but I liked that way for this one. I appreciate those very kind words. Wishing you and yours the very best ...

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."
