#533682 - 04/20/19 05:47 PM [User Showcase] New Song - Texas In My Bones
Registered: 06/17/10 Posts: 1950 Loc: Canyon Lake, TX Steve Young Expert Registered: 06/17/10 Posts: 1950 Loc: Canyon Lake, TX	Just finished my first song, after taking a few months off for a forced (by my wife) vacation. I am so blessed to have a wife who really cares about my health, and well being. She knew I needed some time off from the daily grind of life. But I am glad to be back, and happy to submit my first new effort. This is called Texas In My Bones, and you can't name a song that name, and it not be a country song. So here goes. Most of the backing is Band in a Box, along with some piano and organ played by me. I hope you enjoy this one. Texas In My Bones - SoundCloud Texas In My Bones ©Stephen W. Young It was a rainy night in Georgia When I packed my bags to leave Nothin' against Atlanta It just didn't work for me But the seasons change, and lead us To the place we're meant to be So i headed for my home I know some folks in Louisiana Who just love to take me in So I stopped and drank strong coffee And reminisced with my old friends And we laughed and shared old memories Until the break of dawn And it was time for moving on 'Cause I've got Texas in my bones I've seen the Eastern Shore of Virginia And the San Fransisco Bay The mountains of Colorado Are everything they say And I thank God I was born and raised In the good old USA But I've got Texas in my bones I love the red dirt and the pine trees And the quiet, simple life The beaches of South Padre 'Cause that's where I met my wife The road to San Jacinto Where I learned to drive my car My roots run deep In the heart of the state they call Lone Star Now I hang my hat In the hills, just North of San Antone 'Cause I've got Texas in my bones I've got Texas in my bones I've got Texas in my bones ===== Here are the RT's and RD's...

It just says what it says from the "steal" in the first line through the "steel" playing softly and sounds instantly classic. _________________________ BIAB 2020 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit.

Alan Alan, I really appreciate your kind words! When I was young, I envisioned myself (like most kids my age) a rock-n-roll singer. Now the more I try to sing rock, the more it comes out sounding like Mickey Gilley! So I guess I'm just an old country singer. Originally Posted By: rsdean Steve, Such a great song!

Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Windows Reviews!

Head to www.gearsltuz.com for the latest Band-in-a-Box® reviews by Sound-Guy and CoolGuitarGear!

Band-in-a-Box continues to evolve into an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians. You can produce not only new compositions and arrangements, but also perform them with excellent musical “talent”. It’s easy to use the basic functions, and challenging enough to keep you occupied for years. As it has been for years, it’s an amazing program.
-Sound-Guy

From my perspective, as a long-time user of BIAB, the above improvements, changes and additions definitely take the program to the next step. The new elements and audio upgrading are fantastic and I’m even more excited to work with this version than some others in the past.
