Agree with above. And over my speakers you have an especially good vocal mix - smooth and clear as a bell. Whatever your vox chain is - it certainly compliments your voice. Much enjoyed.

Enjoyed it a lot.

I suppose you don't want to let us in on the secret of where you get that great video footage?

Thanks for listening and comment, jptjptjpt. Usually I use free stuff from pexel.com and occasionally from pixaby,cim. The still are always mine.

Love the slowdown at the end.
That was... quite a ride! smile

Hey, thanks, David. Surely an unusual group of musicians. Yeah, it's cool how BiaB lets you change tempo like that. It fit or the slowing Ferris Wheel.

Fun stuff! Massive theatrical goodness take on serious subject. Absolutely awesome write! Lyrics, vocals, bass, arrangement, everything is very cool. Wild chord progression in places. The slowing down ending was icing on the omelet. I can only imagine how much time went into this... On the other hand, when you do something fun, time flies. Really liked this one. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, Misha. Yes, it's a timeless love.

Love your bassline. They make the song sound so solid. Super mix as well. That mandolin break was very cool. Well done
First class video....

Thanks, Scott. The drum defines the feel, then the bass lays a solid bed for guys like you to add your parts to make the whole thing memorable.

The video version helped to explain a few things but some lyrics remain enigmatic (e.g. 'domino pie' and 'taffy bender') but, as someone once said, "Everything makes sense after six Coronas!" I obviously don't drink enough wink
Highly entertaining and very well put together. smile

Thanks for that wonderful comment. Some have figured that "domino" was a reference to Derek & The Dominoes, and maybe Duane Allman was the taffy bender. I dunno.


Enjoy whatever happens!

On a purely musical level this could also sound great treated like one of the ballads on The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle...something like Sandy.

Thanks, RAYC! You, sir, are the biggest difference in the way the vocal sounds. Thanks so much for all your help. I seek out your comments to others, too. You are certainly one of the treasures of htis tribe.

yes, fun all, the way.

haha, Thanks VideoTrack guy. Hey, always wanted to tell you I like how you have a bass player in your avatar with you.

And another thing -- you have an awfully youthful voice for a grey-bearded person smile !!!

AH, BLUAGE. No lower-case for you, sir. Seriously, I've actually had a couple occasions where others have mentioned to me, "Hey, did you see the comment from bluage?" Your comments are always meaningful, pleasant, creative and encouraging. In a forum where many of us are throwing ourselves out there, then closing one eye to see what comes back, you are the best reason to open wide. Also, thanks for the "youthful" part. Truth is, I'm now at least a step and a half older than when I sang songs years ago, so what used to be C is now A. hehe

Thanks, Ed. I'm sure there's good reason for my lack of YouTube competition. hehe.

Clever and cool write and just the right vocal to carry it all.
All kinds of vibes, as alluded to above, and the accordion even tosses in a little Tex-Mex.
The vid was fun and Janice said she enjoyed the ferris wheel kaleidoscopes smile
And as always that guy you recruit for the bass parts on your productions knows his stuff.
Fun!
J&B

Hah, Thanks, Bud & Janice. You guys are the best --for real. Man, I once heard from a reputable source that Jaco and Jimi once jammed together in NYC. They didn't even know each other then. It was before Chris Chandler "discovered" Hendrix. I have a tape of Jimi and BB King. Terribly recorded, but would really love to hear something from Jimi & Jaco.

Thanks, Peter. HEY, I really liked cutting my bass into that great stuff you played on the Janice & Bud song, Water Under The Bridge. Thanks for the opportunity.

Now that was something else.

Love the chorus. It's sticks to you like super glue.

Your vocal here is an absolute stellar performance.

Production is primo.

The slowing down at the end reminded me of a carousel slowing down.

Fun novelty tune that was well produced. Fan of Firesign and Python here. I doubt most have heard of them, esp Firesign. Good work!

Thanks, Jim. It has its ups and downs, but all-around good fun. Thanks for taking a spin. [pretty punny, huh?]

A LOT has already been said that I would say about this song. Very well deserving!

The one thing I wanted to add was that I felt like I knew this song VERY soon into it. Not because I've heard it before; but because you were able to fit catchy multiple hooks that it created familiarity really fast. That is a fantastic gift to have. This is stuck in my head in all the right ways!

I will say also that I especially enjoyed the tempo change at the end. It was clever and brought me even more into feeling like this was a group of people playing.

Great job!

Hi Marty,

What a nice happy song in spite of the condition of that guy in your song!
And as with all your songs, your vocals sound exactly in line with the atmosphere of this song.
You did a lot of writing on the lyrics. Can you sing it out of your head?

I enjoyed it very much. Monty P. could have learn from it. I can see the scetch in front of my eyes.
So, very well done!

Hans

Oh, when you started with that "sounds like" paragraph, HearToLearn, I half closed my eyes as I read on. Phewf! We always dread the "too close for copyright" thing when we think we've heard our new song before. Maybe it's a deja vu thing in reverse. Thanks for listening and writing such am encouraging comment. Catchiness is an aloof quality for sure, C.Aaron Madison.

Hello, Hans. Always good hearing from you, both in comment and in song. Yes, some folks probably think I'm outta my mind singing, but this one I can sing out of my head. I once played with a guy who sang all Bob Dylan songs and knew every word, even the extra verses that weren't always on the album. Heck, Bob himself uses a teleprompter.

Thanks, Captain. I really like your newest, and really enjoy the old stuff you did, too.

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."
