I really enjoyed when the level and density built into the solo.
STRONG vocal.
Well done.
Ray, I appreciate your careful listening and I pay attention to your suggestions. Thanks for stopping by, Tom

Leon, I recall elders in my family saying similar things. Most likely we all feel it at some point. Thanks much for your generous comments, Tom

As for the song, a lot of people can relate - I certainly do - and as usual, your performances are top notch.

Take care.

p.s. I do remember you guiding me through mixing and mastering:)
Thanks Scott for your nice comments. I hope I was able to help you way back when, Tom

Janice just said "I'm glad he's not too damn tired to make music!"

And this is another great "showcase on the showcase" of putting together a production with BiaB, loops and your own playing...playing that really shines on this and as always is never too little or too much.

I'll quote Janice again, "the vocals are rich," yep, and oozing soul.

Stay around Mr Adams!

You two are always so generous in your comments. I can't thank you enough. I may be absent again for a while but I'll check in when I have cell service. Tom

What's not to like? Guitar hooked me in; great lyrics, convincing singing, solid production.

Good stuff!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Tom ...

To paraphrase J&B (hope you don't mind, guys), a lot said in just a few words. It takes some mighty nifty, talented conjuring to pull that off and you did it perfectly. I've found that in many instances, simplicity is one of the hardest things to do and do it well. You touched every base with this one.

Almost everyone can relate to this in one way or another. Only terrific writers can do that convincingly. You were convincing. loved my listen ... that ending was a great, unexpected treat!

Best to you. Please be safe ...


Alan

That is so true!

Everything I was going to say about this outstanding song already has been said. All I can add is that this is professional all the way!
Hey Mario. I was hoping us oldsters could relate. Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,

It's been a long time since I last heard one of your songs. I knew when I opened Users Showcase, and your name was in top position, that I was in for a treat.

Your knack for arranging and producing lyrics and music that engage and drive the listener along on a very satisfying musical journey is as strong as ever: maybe even stronger!

I still love what you do and admire your talent greatly.

All the best,
Noel

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."
