Very nice funky track, I like that bass, great rhythm section. I also like those minor chords, they give nice nostalgic feel. I would like to hear a little bit more reverb, the guitars sounds bit dry for the summer dance.

Great composition and choice of RT's and the RD. Gotta check out those drums for future ideas.
Minor key and happy feel = mission accomplished!
The mix sounds excellent on the monitors.
Kudos!!!
J&B Thanks a lot for listening (and sorry for the late answer...real life issues). As always I appreciate you taking time to listen... and your comments are so nice, that it makes me blush! Thanks! Will

A great rhythm section you have going on here! Very nice guitar work also. An interesting selection of RTs and RD that were mixed to perfection.
Great job on this! Great work utilizing all those RealTracks Will! They mesh together perfectly and that guitar solo stuff really puts this over the top! Great energy to this one! Thanks, Torrey Thanks a lot for listening and your nice comments, Mario and Torrey! Will

Yeah, that is one happy-making piece. Well put-together. I loved the trade-offs between guitar and piano. Jammy, but not noodly. Really, really nice.

What a tune! Love the upbeat nature, and that groove is fantastic. It really is summery, and easy on the ears - and a great showcase of Band-in-a-Box's versatility. The percussion was an interesting choice, and the guitar solos added a ton of character also. Wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Cool instrumental!! Really keeps you listening. I would put some verb on the lead guitar. Really fun, energetic tune!! Take care. Greg Very nice funky track, I like that bass, great rhythm section. I also like those minor chords, they give nice nostalgic feel. I would like to hear a little bit more reverb, the guitars sounds bit dry for the summer dance.
Janne Thanks for listening, Greg and Janne. Very much appreciated! I might upgrade my SoundCloud to "pro" in the near future (running out of minutes) and if I do that I will upload a new version with more reverb on the guitar, because I think you are both right about that! Thanks again for listening! Will

Great vibe! Like Floyd said, the drums are cool. And yes, you can make a happy song in a minor key! Good job!

Hello Will,
I'm alwways amazed about your fabulous usage of BIAB. You always find exactly the style that expresses your intention best. Another very nice tune that really reflects the subject (although celebrating summertime is curently not on my mind: 40 degrees are more than an old middle-european guy can bear...)
All the best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
So good to hear from you again! I hope everything is well with you and your family. I - and probably many other people - miss your innovative videos and music a lot! I hope you will soon have the energy to produce again (I know the hot weather in Germany doesn't really help ones energy levels..)
Thanks a lot for listening and your kind comments! Now, please make some music for us...
Will

Will Dear Will, those are really very kind and uplifting words - thank you so much for them. Well, Maha is still very sick, but we are happy to at least see some light at the end of the tunnel (hoping it's not an oncoming train ). But she is so brave and although she's still feeling very weak she insisted on trying to do some working on one of my new songs - ten minutes at a time, but that's such a great progress ! And as soon as she puts her hand on my music it immediately sounds twice as good as before! Before she got ill I had started to work on several projects so there are some videos that only need her to take care of the song itself. So I hope that I will be able to post a new video in the course of the next few weeks. I really hope that you and yours are in good health and you can enjoy the summer. Today it's OK over here: about 24, 25 degrees - that's my idea of a lovely summer day. All the best, dear Will, and thanks a lot again for your very nice message. Take good care, Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your answer! I really hope you understand that I was just joking (about you making more videos) - it is many times more important that you take care of Maha (and all my best wishes to her)... music is really just secondary to good health...
Thank you for wishing me a good summer but I don't mind if it will be rainy and stormy if that means some good energy can be transferred to Germany and Maha... I really, really pray for her to get better soon!
Take care!
Will

Hello Will,
oh no, please don't you worry !!!! I really appreciated your words so much and thought that they were VERY nice and uplifting. (And when in doubt, I try to take anything rather funny than serious anyway.)
Thanks so much for your very kind wishes and thoughts for Maha - she really was so delighted when I passed them to her.
Have a very nice evening and all the best
Stefan

Hi Will,
I'm very late getting to this one.
I have to say that I'm really glad that I didn't miss it altogether. This is an excellent listen. The overarching sound is highly professional from start to end.
You have a flair for taking BIAB into places I never ever dream of. I always learn something new from listening to your work!
Regards,
Noel

The chord progression is somewhat reminiscent of "Solenzara" (Enrico Macias) but more up-tempo and up-lifting. Works well. I like it.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

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."
