Hi Brian,
I am delighted to be the first to review your new song.
I don't normally review Country songs because I have little or no knowledge of this genre. However I couldn't resist with your song because I enjoyed it so much.
I simply can't fault it:
Song - lovely melody
Guitar playing - very nice and perfectly suited to the song style.
Mix - perfect.
Please send us a some more.
Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Brian,
An interesting title which caught my eye....
Beautifully smooth and relaxed.
Great choice of Realtracks and a lovely bit of playing on the guitar melody.
A good mix - everything where it should be,
Thoroughly enjoyed.
ROG.

Very cool waltz, Brian. Excellent melody developed on your guitar, and well-played. The tune makes me smile in reverie.

Ghostgum,
Well, you’ve taken two genres that don’t often hold my ear (country waltz and instrumentals in general) . . . and just killed it. This is a really pretty arrangement—really creatively done with the introduction and featuring of the various instruments throughout. Excellent work—a pleasure to listen to. And, yes, that title is just perfect—conveys small town country, which is how this song feels.
My best to you,
Deej

That was very enjoyable. It reminded me of a few things.... but mainly that you never hear instrumentals on the radio today. Growing up, there was a fair number of really good instrumental music on the top 40..... not today.
I really enjoyed that song. Thanks
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

An interesting composition and some pleasantly orchestrated chord changes.
The mandolin ensemble was a pleasant surprise, and the melody carried the song quite elegantly.

We love many musical genres and this fits right in our rather large wheelhouse.
Your performance, the RT's and additional instruments (great mando) all made for a lovely and classy sound.
Excellent!

This song had a very relaxed feel to it, which made it really easy to listen to. There was something about it that was so effortless. Nice choice of tracks as well. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

Hi Ghostgum,
I saw there realy is a big corner in Aspen and Main (street). What happened overthere? Why did you made this very nice song about that specific corner. I'm super curious of course. But I'm pretty sure it must have been something nice and melancholic, because that's the sphere of your song too.
You have a very nice leadguitar in it as well
I enjoyed it very much, even though there's no vocals in it in ;-)
Hans

Thanks, Hans. The lyrics are not finished yet. The title identifies a place that romantically links two people.

I guess we will have to wait and see (like all songs, I'm making it up as I go along  ).

Lovely tune, Brian. The kind of music that allows one's thoughts to drift. While it's a beautiful instrumental, I could also easily imagine it being an excellent song with the right set of lyrics.
Regards,
Leon

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."
