Nice song.
"happier Times" must be a lost memory, that's sounds pretty sad.

Very nice, Carl
A pleasant listen and I enjoyed the changes of lead instruments. The nylon guitar sounds lovely - what is it? I liked the chord sequences.
Lets all hope for Happier Times Ahead.

Hi Ian, thanks very much for your nice comments and for listening - glad you like my little country tune!
The nylon guitar is a Takamine Hirade TH90 which I've had for years - just recorded with a single condenser mic (Microtech Gefell M 300) into Golden Age Pre 73 & Comp 54. I find mic placement during recording makes a lot of difference - nylon guitars can get boomy so I keep the mic up near the neck joint.
Blimey, yes we do need some happier times soon after all this nonsense - keep the music coming!

Cheers Ian, all the best - Carl

As others have mentioned, the guitar delivery is particularly nice.

A very sensitively delivered balled with interesting chord progressions. Very notable actually wink

This is a lovely and delicately balanced song and performance. It flows very nicely and is a very easy listen. The guitar has a particularly sweet tone. Just what I needed to get a little lift smile

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."
