Not much time for composing lately, seem to spend so much time with my radio shows. Here's one I composed some time ago

A few years ago I was introduced to a dear friend in Norway who was Originally from Inverness. Alex Cullum. Alex was a chef to trade. He called us his adopted family and sadly we never had a chance to meet him. He DID have the chance to hear this tune before he died and he loved it.....The Alex Cullum Waltz

Style is JEAN.STY (Simple Pop Country Swing Waltz)

RealTracks in song: ~1178:Bass, Electric, PopWaltz Ev 120
RealTracks in song: 2865:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CelticSlowWaltzDave Ev 100

Wish I had a dance floor near me, I drag my partner out for a spin.

Love your playing.

Well done.

I liked this a lot, thanks for sharing Graham. Peaceful to listen to, I can close my eyes and see the Scottish Highlands when I listen - nice work smile

Loved that melody Graham. I agree with Derek. The minute it started I was thinking Scottish Hylands. Beautiful

Hi Graham ...

I have to agree with all that has previously been said about your wonderful song. I know I've told you this before, but I think it warrants repeating: You are my favorite accordionist. Your music is always heart-warming and such a treat! Thank you for once again making my ears smile!

Wishing you & yours everything good. Be safe ...

Alan

Thanks Ray, I've heard of this machine. You can do the same with any accordion fully fitted with midi.

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."
