I thought I would close out the year with a song
David Cuny so graciously donated his time & effort
To rework & remix...

Thanks David...
You are truly a gentleman & a scholar smile

I hope you enjoy watching & listening.



Dreams of You © J Hughes

When I close my eyes
And drift off in the night
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

When I go to bed
With old mem'ries in my head
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Middle 4

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Jim and David this is a great song and mix. Jim, your vocals were spot on and the lyrics are great. David's mix was perfect.

There's a lot to like about this song!

Jim & David,
A very smooth sound- that relaxed almost country crooner quality of Jim`s vocal is presented beautifully here.
I like the pure simplicity of the song and David has stayed true to the feeling in the mix.
Usually I can spot those Helicon harmonies but they blend well and maybe its the reverb gives the song that very smooth texture.
Good work- I Enjoyed!

I LOVE the sound of the BLOCKFISH compressor but I can't get it to run properly on my new computer.
This vocal is a perfect example of how well it can work.
Good song & performance Jim - clever mix David.

This came out very good! I liked original version, but David took this a Big step higher, not screwing up original vibe. Congrats to both of you and thank you for sharing!

Hi Jim and David,

You've both done a splendid job with this.

As I'm sitting here with my headphones on, listening, thoughts that are passing through my mind include: such a friendly and easy-on-the ears sound; I love Jim's way with words; David has created a wonderfully warm mix; Jim's singing always rings with honesty and sincerity; it's so easy to imagine this group just up in front of me; what a very relaxing groove; love what they've done.

In other words, you won me over.

Thank you both a really pleasant musical journey.
Noel

Beautiful! Deceptively, seemingly simple and simply beautiful. You've got one of those voices that actually COMMUNICATE the song you sing - and the song itself says it all without artifice and/or pretence. My kind of music! :-)

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."
