Wow! How exciting! Congrats on the home!
Now the song, I get, you mentioned, was to be a sad song. I definitely hear the pain there. I also hear moments of what feels like that moment of a pleasant memory that again turns back into the realization of loss. That is probably me reading WAY too far into it; but it struck me as what mourning feels like.
Very well done my friend!
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

Hope you enjoy the new place, Alan. I certainly enjoyed this pensive tune.
Regards,
Leon Hi Lean ... Thank you! We are enjoying out place very much! It's far better than what we thought we'd ever be able to own. We also bought all new furniture for it. And thanks for the kind thoughts on the song. Glad you enjoyed it. Wishing you the very best. Take care and be safe ... Alan

Excellent Al. We love the feel and as always are impressed
at your chops in putting together these all BiaB productions.
And we suspect PG Music likes them also!
Congrats on the house. We built and moved into ours
32 years ago. Time do fly.
Enjoyed it!
J&B Janice and Bud ... Thanks. The house is terrific! We're loving it! Well, if this house lasts 32 years, our estate will have to deal with it! If I live long enough to pay it off, I'll b e 106 years old! I guess there' always a chance!!! Thanks for the kindness to our song. This one just fell into p[lace will little forethought or planning from me. The chords just came to me, as they often do. But, even with whatever amount of talent I posses, it would be largely wasted without this magnificent program. It's as close to magic as it can be. It makes me look better than I am. Wishing you both the very best. Please take care and be safe. Alan

Very well done my friend! Hi Aaron ... You actually read this exactly as I hoped it would come across. Mama's gone ... that's sad. Mama's going to a good place ... that's good. Mama's trouble are gone ... that's good. Mama left an indelible legacy of which we are proud ... that's excellent. That pretty much sums up my thought process as I put the various elements of the song together. You keyed into it perfectly. That's a satisfying feeling for me that you heard it as I intended it. Thank you so much for validating my effort. I'm smiling big! Wishing you the very best. Please stay safe. Alan

With three full bathrooms, you don't have far to go when ya need to pee! Thank you for the very nice words about the song. This one just came together from whi knows where. Many thanks. Wishing you everything good. Take care ... Alan

Alan, Sad and beautiful. Nice chord movement. Strings are a bit too dry for my taste, but that is very minor. Enjoyed my listen. Thank you for sharing. P.S.Congrats to you and DI on new place! Perhaps a title for your new tune "Cardboard Jungle" ?  Misha.

I too love the violin/fiddle, but I also the way the bass line plays against and with the fiddle. This is a bit of a "strolling" piece.

Perhaps a title for your new tune "Cardboard Jungle" ? Misha. Hi Misha ... Thanks for the listen and nice comments. I intentionally left the fiddle dry as I wanted it to sound as though the three instrumentalists might be on their back porch. And thanks for the well wishes on the house. We've been here ten days and still have many boxes to unpack. Again, many thanks. Take care and be safe ... Alan

You have no idea how many bass tracks I previewed before settling on this one. Since there are no drums and the acoustic 6-string doesn't vary, I needed a bass line that differed somewhat between the verses and the chorus and this one fit the bill. The difference is dramatic but just enough to differentiate the two parts. Thanks again! Best to you. Please be safe ... Alan

Alan, Congratulations on the new house. It must be an exciting time for you both. The instrumental is very well done and as mentioned in a previous comment you have a well developed knack for finding the perfect real tracks that have been hiding in plain sight from the rest of us. Your knowledge of chord progressions is always so natural yet at the same time full of little turns that twist the ear and keep it interesting. Good job on this one. Enjoy the new place, Tom

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
