Not been on in a while but this is a collab I did with my pal John Vaughan. John wrote most of the lyrics and I put the tracks together. I think it has a swampy feel. Comments welcome, Vic Listen here https://soundcloud.com/vic-arnold/gator-in-the-swampGATOR IN THE SWAMP © 2020 Vaughan/Arnold V She was never really mine It was just my turn For a while it was fine but in time I learned Can't reason with a gator With your head in its mouth So I gave up trying & headed on out C There's a gator in the swamp Get eaten or run? She don't need a menu as long as there's a pulse There's a gator in the swamp Get eaten or ruuun ..........? .......... ruuun .......

Vic,
A good song.
An engaging vocal. A very nice production and mix.
(As you are aware, getting involved is key...)

As this is my type of music I cant help but love it. "She don't need a menu as long as there's a pulse" Great write, lyrics and production. Rob4580

Wow - I love when you hear a tune and you can tell it was as fun to make as it is to listen to. Top notch work on the vocal performance, and I thought it was really well mixed too.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Vic, your backing tracks were spot on for this song. Your mix was excellent. Your vocal was really strong but those lyrics are what took it over the top for me.
This was a fun song to listen too and I get the impression that you had fun doing this!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Vic (and John),
So well done . . . production is simple and clean, but all the song needs to support an excellent vocal and sweet harmonies. A toe-tapper! Good stuff!
My best to both of you,
Deej

Hi Mario. Thanks. Yes mostly Johns lyrics apart from the odd line here and there to get it to work in the arrangement.

Lotta fun Vic. Got that Tony Joe vibe going...a good thing.
Actually a lot of good things - like the vocals (great harmony), the write and the mix. Be nice to know what tracks you used.
Welcome back with a very cool tune!

Hi Jan & Bud Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the like. Can't remember what tracks I used. Sometimes I write over them to steal a riff from somewhere.

Excellent swampy feel, Vic. The harmonies are perfect for that feel. "Gotta get eaten or ruuuun..."

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."
