Nice tune and lovely story telling.
Was listening to a Roy Harper song the other day (When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease)which has a similar vibe (sort of).
Good work on this.

'justanoldmuso'...
Aside from the emotionally stirring background information you provided on the creation of, and the inspiration for your song, it is a powerful listening experience also because of the way you build-up and bring down the number and volume of the instruments over the length of the recording, the full-voiced vocal doubling, and your spoken-word storytelling talent. The outro fade works to maintain a never-ending feel to the song. Definitely, the nostalgia you desired to communicate comes through and through. It's a memorable listening experience.

PeterF and bluage thanks soo much for listening and your nice comments. i'm really happy that people seem to feel the ending works. i debated at length over the ending which worried me a lot as to whether it would work.
best to you both. om ps...to clarify ...as people have asked me... the "chicken run" was an area of the hammers boleyn football ground. a remarkeable aspect was you would see people often blowing bubbles all over the football ground. it was a great sight to see on match day.

Great job OM. I love your accent. You have a nice singing voice. And I'll ditto Torrey here, the song style reminds me of something Ringo would do. That's a compliment of course. The outro sounds fine to me. I really enjoyed it. Josie

justanoldmuso,
For me, this has just a great Kinks feel to it. The organ you have running through this gives it great heart (though from a production standpoint, I might dial it back just a tad in spots). The harmonica was a great choice as well. Love a story song!
All my best,
Deej

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
