Simple jewel of happy nostalgia set in a golden acoustic (for the most part) band. I loved the accordion (not a sentence I say much irl, though I do). I love the horns (a sentence I do say irl, and mean it). Vocals have that happy, peppy, rushed-ly excited vibe to them that infuses the lyric with some good old juice. Makes me feel so good.
Excellent arrangement, production and mix. The acoustic lead is delightful. Everything works. Hugely enjoyed.

Upbeat, uptempo, this song is up there. Enjoyed my listen very much.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

I agree with Janne that, initially, it seems a little rushed BUT the warm vocal and nostalgia the narrative promoted covered that over quickly.
It'd probably be less effective slower...wouldn't match/suggest the transistor radio pop of the 60s.
it's a cool song, the repetition of phrases reinforces the message and radiates some "feel good" vibes.
Nice one. Appreciate the review Ray. Peter What they said - evocative lyrics of common memories, upbeat vocal, excellent arrangement. Made me feel good!  Thanks David

Flashback to my childhood in the 50's! I could relate to every word.
Everything is spot on!
Loved it and thanx for the trip back in time. Thanks Mario Peter

Hi Peter,
A happy song, I wrote on your SoundCloud and that is what it is. Most wrote it brought back memories. One even claims to be the oldest around in this forum! So mission succeeded; a happy song on the good old times! And count me in! I had some of those memories too, like that tiny transistor radio with awful sound and bad reception. I had tu put a copperwire on the heating in my bedroom to hear something. And no earplugs of course! So all the time a mad dad urged me to stop and go sleeping. A wonder I went into music...
But about your song, Peter: It is typically your style. I had to listen back the transition from chorus to verse, because in a way they overlapped. But you did it again in the second chorus and verse, so it was no mistake but deliberately done. I like that!
With the speed of your singing all these words you were close to a rap song! Only more melody. I think I would hurt my tongue at the least.
It was a pleasant listen from all perspectives,
Hans

Peter & Leon, I guess we all had that same radio... Cool backing. The horns are a nice addition. (very Van-like). Like janne and ray, I felt the lyrics were rushed - which made it fell like a disconnect between the lyric and the backing. Good mix. fj Thanks floyd Peter

Being a bit older than most if not all here I (Bud) listened to a floor model TUBE radio at bedtime. And it had a "magic eye" tuner on it. Some may have to google that! I (Janice) listened nightly to a turntable and Mama didn't mind as she loved the same music. We also both were fond of climbing trees and can relate to all the joy in this song. Thank you for the happy memories! Peter, the acoustic sounds great and the BiaB band is very good too. We like the horn section and the accordian. Leon, your vocals were perfect for taking us down memory lane. Enjoyed it! J&B Bud & Janice We appreciate the comments and support. Glad it brought back some good memories. Peter

It would make me feel so good
It would make me feel so good inside
It would make me feel like everything was alright
It would make me feel so good
I have bookmarked this song to play the next time I am feeling "down in the dumps"
Leons' vocal has a wonderful engaging youthful exuberance and Peters' playing is exemplary as usual.
Lyrics, band choice, production all combining for a fun and super enjoyable listen.
cheers
Gary.

Hi Peter & Leon,
Nice to hear a backing track which is running, not walking - instantly puts a smile your face!
Great choice of instruments and some excellent guitar work.
Loved the vocal with those delightful harmonies.
I'm sure many of us can relate to those lyrics - I remember recording songs from the radio onto an old Grundig reel to reel tape machine, so I could try to play along to them on guitar.
Happy days.
ROG

Oh, so well said. That's what music does, and this song surely makes one feel SO good. Excellent guitars and arrangement, and the band gels with the right goo to make this a toe-tapping sing along. Wonderful lyrics and the perfect vocal.

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."
