Hi All, Here's something called Greyhound. I remembered to dream tonight I remembered tonight I could see your shadowed smile In a single stream of light You run through my mind like a silver blue greyhound I remembered the silver light I remembered the light I could see the moon fade out In a passage from the night You run through my mind like a silver blue greyhound I remembered to wake tonight I remembered tonight I could see the room grow dim In a broken ray of light You run through my mind like a silver blue greyhound You run through my mind like a silver blue greyhound Silver blue, Silver blue, Silver blue Silver blue, Silver blue, Silver blue BIAB Tracks: 1293: Bass, Electric, TexMexCountry Ev 120 1119: Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 691: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm, AcRockBright Ev 120 2541: Pedal Steel, Background ModernPopCountry Ev 110 RealDrums: NashvilleEven16 Snare, HiHat, Snare, Ride Loop: Tamborine Quarters 4 bars As always - thanks for listening!

Bob,
Nice. A good write. Simple and effective.
Excellent production/arrangement. Excellent mix. You do a great job of using BIAB for a truly "signature sound". A studio-quality singer-songwriter sound... Excellent vocal.
Enjoyed several listens.
(only seen a couple of Greyhounds in the past decade! They used to be everywhere...)

Hello Robert,
I recognize your style right away. The moment I hear the vocals I say "Ah, Bob Dean"!
A very nice song that I enjoyed a lot. It is what Floyd wrote: 'simple and effective'.
But effective in many ways. compact lyrics, a straight melody and with the nice use of that Pedal Steel!
As I said, I enjoyed it a lot.
Hans

Bob, this is such a great job making those Realtracks your own and "fitting" the song so well! Love the mix and the way the vocal is the primary focus of the song (as it should be). Another very good one from you! Thanks, Torrey

"I could see your shadowed smile In a single stream of light" Nice! Great job on the arrangement! I love how it builds. Mix is just top notch too, sounds fabulous through the 'phones. And of course that signature vocal sound you have  Really good, Bob, listened a few times.

Bob, I loved how this started and the simplicity in the backing tracks that you have blended into one outstanding piece of music. Great vocal and lyrics also.
This is your best to date IMHO.

Revisit: Eyes on Success featuring PG Music Inc., Band-in-a-Box®, and the Updated JAWS Script
In the past, Eyes on Success featured an episode that discussed our company history and Band-in-a-Box® program with Tobin, our chief development officer, including how Band-in-a-Box® is even more accessible with the help of their JAWS screen reader scripts!
Later on this month, Eyes on Success will be releasing an episode that features Gudrun Brunot talking about her new tutorials about how to use Band-in-a-Box® with JAWS.
It's a great idea to pair the two episodes together!

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
