Hi all.This tune was written in 1912 and would latter
be made famous by Doris Day and now is in the public domain.

(Written by m. Percy Weinrich, w. Edward Madden)

Ive performed this a little different from the Doris Days Version.
Any way you be the judge. All comments welcome. Rob4580


On Moonlight Bay

"On Moonlight Bay 1912 - m. Percy Weinrich, w. Edward Madden"

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices ringing
They seemed to say
"You have stolen her heart"
"Now don't go 'way"
As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay

Hi Rob,

Nicely done!

Wonderfully relaxed feel and a great band, with a smooth vocal over.

Good mix as well.

Enjoyed.

I can imagine Elvis singing this on the soundtrack of Blue Hawaii or similar.
You REALLY have nailed your vocal recording technique and have a happy knack of building songs that tthrive under your voice.
COOL stuff.

Rob,
A fine, relaxed, smooth vocal and enjoyable arrangement of this oldie- which you sound very comfortable with.
The nylon guitar fills are a nice touch.

Hi Rob
Really nice vocal and for me the folk arrangement is a winner.
With all due respect to Doris Day, I much prefer your version.

Definitely one of Love's sweet songs. Well done, Rob. Great vocal rendition, and the band is perfect. Thankfully no Doris.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Rob ...

I remember this song so well. My mother used to sing it all the time back in the 50s when I was a kid. I've always liked it a lot. I wasn't aware it's now in the PD.

Your smooth, full voice is a perfect compliment to this arrangement. I always enjoy your posts ... this one in particular. The uke and mandolin were really great choices for this!

At 1:18 - 1:20, the acoustic guitar on the left channel came in a bit harshly. but it didn't distract from your wonderful song.

As always, really nice!@ best to you ...

Alan

Nice work - I remember the original too! My grandpa was a huge Doris Day fan - it's crazy to me this is public domain now. You did a really nice job on it - you make it have a modern edge, and your vocals work perfectly for the song.

Thanks for sharing smile

Blue Hawaii...The Basement Tapes

Great use of all acoustic RT's. The mando solo was
superb.

The modulation was effective and put you in a register
we haven't noted before...and it was good smile

The acoustic backing and simple lyric along with your
nice vocal all made for a very pleasant production.
Nice mix also.

Enjoyed it!

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."
