My Dad was a real character and he had a bunch of great sayings. I was thinking of some of his well worn lines and realized this was a treasure trove of song ideas. I bounced this one off Bud Merritt and he was able to point me in the right direction for the 2nd verse and the ending chorus. Against his objections he gets a writing credit because without his contribution the song would not have gone where it went. Thanks Bud, and a big thanks to Janice for her impeccable harmony.

Wow!
A beautiful and heartfelt song,
love it when the mandolin comes in
a super write, so good
you have the best harmony singer that maybe I've ever heard
Tom, it's top notch, makes me want to write about youth going by so fast
and a loving guiding hand.

Tom, Janice & Bud, Very nice, down to earth song that is done very tastefully. Clear vocals, well balanced choice of instruments (not over populated  ) and pro mix. Not a bit that I would change. I enjoyed it. Thank you for posting! Misha.

Tremendous song.

Tom and Bud,
Great collaboration on this one—heartfelt and moving write. So much that’s good about this one . . . but for me, the vocals put this one over the top. They SLAY! Harmonies in that chorus are killer, but the lead vocal is really, really strong on this—drips with emotion. Loved this one, guys.
All my best,
Deej

Tom, Januce & Bud ...
Gonna make this short and to the point. This is just so touching and heartfelt. I didn't have a good relationship with my father as I was growing up. But he did introduce me to the guitar - i guess that makes up for a lot of other stuff.
Totally loved it! I wish I had some great memories like these to think back on. Glad you did! Best to you ...

Your vocal is always so good. Excellent delivery! Production is tops. Really nice y'all! The vocals here are excellent, from everyone. Indeed a touching song. Super lyrics and well chosen instruments. You co-writers are on a tear! Wow-- this is really good-- First the vocals and harmony are great. The instrumentation and mix was really well done... Thanks!
Thanks y’all - we are happy Tommy invited us to be part of this and equally happy that you like it. Thanks! J&B

Tom,
This is beautiful and heartfelt... Your best vocal in my opinion. There is something so poignant and restrained about the delivery that is so effective.
Of course, having Janice and Bud onboard is a gift...
Tremendous song.
Bob Thanks Bob...you are very kind to say that. It was a pleasure to participate. J&B Tom and Bud,
Great collaboration on this one—heartfelt and moving write. So much that’s good about this one . . . but for me, the vocals put this one over the top. They SLAY! Harmonies in that chorus are killer, but the lead vocal is really, really strong on this—drips with emotion. Loved this one, guys.
All my best,
Deej
Thanks man, we agree, Tom sang the heck outa this one! J&B

Tom, Januce & Bud ...
Gonna make this short and to the point. This is just so touching and heartfelt. I didn't have a good relationship with my father as I was growing up. But he did introduce me to the guitar - i guess that makes up for a lot of other stuff.
Totally loved it! I wish I had some great memories like these to think back on. Glad you did! Best to you ...
Alan Always a treat to hear your work Tommy! Thanks y’all. It was a pleasure to participate. J&B

Tommy, Bud, and Janice, this is exactly what commercial radio should be playing. Everything about this is top shelf and air play ready.
Excellent song that you three should be very proud of.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

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!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
