Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5553 Loc: North Carolina David Snyder Veteran Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5553 Loc: North Carolina	Just going for something whimsical. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/cinnamon-tree I am enjoying my journey through the 2019 Real Sets. Got stuck at 317 "Guitar and Piano for Songwriters." I was shooting for a simple sound and purity in the mix on this one--used the Waves Abbey Road TG Mastering Plugin (love it) on Instrument Bus and Drum bus, with final polish in Ozone. CINNAMON TREE V1 Adam and Eve In the garden of Eden Walked near a Cinnamon Tree Adam said Eve Now look what we’ve done I guess we’ll have to live free Eve said to Adam Just take my hand Cause I’m just a woman And you’re just a man We’ll drive ‘cross this earth Find our own promised land Cause we’re doing the best that we can CH So they rolled down the windows Held hands in the dark Drove ‘cross the world With a wide open heart They made love in the meadows And slept by the sea And kissed ‘neath a cinnamon tree Yeah they kissed ‘neath a cinnamon tree a cinnamon tree CH Now there’s lovers from Asheville And Asbury Park Searching for faith But it’s a shot in the dark Cause you are what you are And it’s all you can be When you know that you have to live free CH So let's roll down the windows Hold hands in the dark Drive ‘cross the world With a wide open heart Make love in the meadows And sleep by the sea Just like Adam and Eve We’ll kiss ‘neath that cinnamon tree Inst.

Lyrics and music flow nicely from verse to chorus--I especially like the change in the last chorus. It gives a completion to the song.

Sounds like you're starting to get your vocals dialed in a bit. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.

They are really unique, clever, and definitely memorable. That aside, your vocals are top notch as always and the chorus is nice and powerful. Definitely picking up the Dylan influence on this one, which is never a bad thing by me. Great work, and thanks for sharing! _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

A well-writ little song with some big ideas tucked into the twang and that time sig. Very satisfying. As a side note: I'm glad they didn't make love in a Cinnabon in the airport waiting for a flight between Asheville and Asbury Park. They's people tryin' to eat.

Great intro, excellent writing, and possibly your best vocal yet. People have mentioned Dylan, I'm hearing some Springsteen vibes happening also. Very, very good! _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

Really like this.....has a great rhythmic drive and some wonderfully creative DS lyrics!! I have a question. The style is SINNER. I was curious if you just liked "the band" in the PG demo, and that word was the trigger for this creative tune. Kind of a shot in the dark but then again: Is there really such thing as coincidence? Really nice work David!! Take care. Greg

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!

Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software

A few of my favorite statements:

"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."

(I think our name was a great start!)

"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."

"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
