"She doesn't rock and roll like she used to/But she probably says the same thing about me." Ha! Love that line. Fun song. I enjoyed it!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Fun lyric.
The chorus melody is similar to Okie from Muskogee but Haggart borrowed that anyway.
The songs a good one but the backing is too quiet.


Cheers

Bob, I'll be 75 in April so I can really appreciate this song whistle Your "why don't they write songs like that anymore" lyric is exactly what I say!

This is not only a fun song it is a lesson is a hit parade of songs.

Very well done and now one of my favorite songs.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Bob,
I enjoyed your rocking retrospective of the hits... and gradual slide from the dance floor into those armchairs!
Your energetic vocal carries the song( yes, it does sound a little forward of the band).

Bob,
Fun tune. A nice reel of recollections. Vocals a bit too on top, but overall good mix. Listens well.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

When she's 90 you can write a song about how spry you were when you where 70.

Cool song, Well done.

Very fun song, I enjoyed it a lot. Vocal is not sitting in the mix, but it was still enjoyable. Nice work!

Hi Bob,

You transported me back in time with this one!

Rock 'n' roll never really gets tired. Whenever I listen to a song like this, it always lightens and brightens my mood. You did a great job making it and putting it together. I bet your wife was delighted!

I'm a fan!

All the best,
Noel

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."
