Oh Shenandoah Lyrics Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you, Away, your rolling river Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri. Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away, your rolling river For her I cross your rolling waters Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri. Took seven years since last I've seen you Away, your rolling river Took seven years since last I've seen you Away we're bound away, cross the wide Missouri. Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you Away, your rolling river Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you Away we're bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Your voice has an ethereal quality to it that makes your rendition go from good to great, in my opinion. I would personally have done it a semitone or so lower, just to help with the higher register, but what do I know. It's really beautifully done - and that's all that matters! Well done. My website

This song just gave me chills when i heard it, so I had to do it. Last edited by trapper456; 02/24/20 09:33 AM.

And, of course the Wide Missouri originates in your home state of Montana. I', originally from St. Louis, MO, where the Missouri River ends with its confluence with the Mississippi. You have a unique and pleasant voice.. And you put together a terrific band for the song. Excellent ... loved my listen. Best to you ... Alan Last edited by Al-David; 02/24/20 08:59 AM.

I sometimes write at night when it's quiet and settled down. I didn't get done with this one almost until 2:00 am. Thanks for listening and thanks for the compliment; the ultimate goal for me is to make music, and with Band in a Box I can do just that.

OP trapper456 Journeyman Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 463 Montana, USA	Thank GOD for Band in a Box, especially for a vocalist. I understand about Chords good enough now to create some of my own arrangement's. I have had the help of some friends with BIAB, Fellow users of this form. I just bought 2020, but I used my 2017 because I didn't have my 2020 drive hooked up. But this came out absolutely beautiful. I put a lot of work into the arrangement. I cried when I first heard this because all I could do was think about my mother who passed away from a brain tumor in 2017, I missed her so much when I heard another person sing this. Thank you for the great compliment. I have a very high register when I use it. Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly.

Might be what you need to take this to the next level. Windows 10, Intel Core I5 10400, 16 gig ram, Scarlett 6i6, Komplete keyboard, Sony Acid Music Studio 11, BIAB 2020 UltraPlus Pak

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
