This is a trip back in time...Sammy Davis, Jr.... Bing and Bob.
You've got this style, the melody and lyrics, down pat here.
Nice one.

Tano, How do you come up with these lyrics & phrasing? Brilliant! Smooth arrangement too. It seems to me, you wrote some music for the stage at some point.. Am I right? P.S. One of my favorite of yours, still remains "Day of the Dead"  Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Ezekiel, Leon, misha...thanks for listening, and for your feedback. I’ve studied closely the songs from the great American song era, the 30’s thru 50’s, and I would say that that’s a considerable influence for me, but I’ve never written any music for public performance, including by me.

I’ve studied closely the songs from the great American song era, the 30’s thru 50’s, and I would say that that’s a considerable influence for me ... And that study certainly has resulted in some fine productions ... this one included. Very nice write, vocal and mix. And do we every wish we could start anew April 2020 with your song's theme! Most enjoyable... J&B

Tano, there was a musician, composer and piano player that lived here in Florida (I think)native of California that went by the name of Michael Franks that had the same vibe and vocal quality. You remind me of him a lot.
My compliments.
Mike B.

Tano Music:
Your song, April's Calling, is as bouyant and carefree as The Telephone Song recorded by Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto on their Live At Café Au Go-Go album on the Verve label way back in 1964.
Also, it's deeply appealing for the sweet, harmless innocence of the lyrics, as the word 'innocence' is defined in Webster's New World Dictionary: "free from sin, evil". In fact, I could hear the lyrics sung by a choir of children -- that's how optimistic and upliting it sounds.
Colorful, musically liberating 'changes', too. You put your heart into this one, I'm sure.

I really like the "age of the crooners" feel to this song (I could listen to Bing Crosby, Bob Eberle, Tex Benecke, Tony Bennett, etc all day long). The accompaniment is perfect for this piece.

Tom,
Very nice jazz bossa!
Your vocal fits this perfectly.
The piano seems to be played by Jobim, and the strings seem to be arranged by Claus Ogerman.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!
Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!
Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)
In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.
When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!
PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
