I was thinking to myself that you could probably buy a covid Christmas tree ornament. I checked Amazon and sure enough, there was a picture of one. So I wrote a blues about it. I used RT 569 Resophonic delta guitar and sang along and played harp. No need to critique, it's just a sloppy one take, trying to have some fun and join in the season's spirit. Happy holidays, everyone!

TM,

HA! A fun tune. For "sloppy" it's pretty sweet!

The combination of the Resophonic and your harp is terrific. Nice playing.

Enjoyed.

Happy Holidays!!

I like it!!! :-)

Grinning from ear to ear. Refreshingly different and I'll tell you this much: I needed this today. I can't think of a song that I've heard recently that I've walked away from afterwards feeling in so much better spirits than before listening to it. Nice one :-)

Hello TuneMonger,

Well I find this composition well done. All the ingredients are there for a successful blues. Live atmosphere, that's what gives all the charm to this composition.

Best new year

Your vocal reminded us of Jorma Kaukonen -- a good thing.
Actually the entire song sounded like something he would've
done on the Blue Country Heart album.

We like him and we like this.

Cool theme indeed and harp perfecto.
Not often we get to hear some fine harp around here.

Enjoyed it a lot.

Hi Bob ...

Wish I could do "sloppy" that nicely! Totally loved it - refreshing and down-home honest. That's some real home-cooked entertainment. Loved it!

Merry Christmas and happy New year. Hope you found some really nice ornaments for your tree! BTW ... this is my favorite vocal of all I've heard from you. Cool!

Alan

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
