Loved that chorus. Very funny. I guess I hear it mostly as a country song, and in a bar setting that chorus is definitely sing-along-worthy. Great listen.

Another "catchy" tune Jim!! You seem to have a knack for coming up with a chorus that sticks with the listener for a while! The track sounds great! Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey... For the listen and your kind words

Hello Jim,
I listened to your song a couple of times and liked it more and more.
In the beginning it felt a bit awkward, I think because of the midi, but that feeling quickly disappeared.
And that pedal steel guitar is fitting nicely (untill now I never used this instrument, so maybe now?)
The lyrics I liked the most. Basic and so sweet.
Nice day,
Hans Thanks, Hans... I’m glad you enjoyed the listen... I don't know what caused the awkwardness at the beginning... There was no midi on this tune... I played the intro on my acoustic... But its nice to know a real acoustic guitar can sound like a midi steel string guitar.
Jim

Hi Jim,
This is a restful, very pleasant listen. I'm enjoying it.
I'm a fan of the AAAX rhyme scheme that you've used in the chorus. It's such an excellent asymmetric rhyme pattern. At the moment, I'm sitting here listening and typing and your song is bringing into my mind images of all that's good in life. Thank you heaps for that!
All the best,
Noel

There's a Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" feel to this...a good thing, indeed, in our book!
We really like Al's comment, "soothing and laid back, yet captivating." Yep.
The nice production, write and vocal performance all contribute to the "catchy" vibe that folks have mentioned. It does stick with you!
Nice....
J&B Thanks guys... I always appreciate your warm supportive comments.

Jim,
Your writing style is like a lost art, they don't write em like that anymore...
I mean that as a compliment of course
catchy as all get out, could be country, could be Beach Boys
I certainly enjoyed the listen,
Kenny Thanks, Kenny... I appreciate your wonderful comments & support... Honestly, it seems like the good Lord just gives them to me & I write them down.

Nice work on this  As others pointed out, it's delightfully catchy and a great throwback to a classic style you don't hear much any more. I really enjoyed my listen. Thanks for sharing! Thanks, Deryk... I really appreciate you taking the time to listen & comment...

Another good country singer, wish I could sing. The song gave me a laugh, I liked it and it did earworm me after a while. I felt there was something about the mix or production that didn't work well, it seemed quite lo-fi or something like that, but I got what you were after here and you did it well. Thanks, Bob... For your listen, your comments, & your support... Like you & probably others, I have always been self-critical of my own singing abilities... I remember the expression & I think it applies to me... "I sing like I tune my guitar... Just close enough (to being in tune)"

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."
