Gary,
Thanks so much for that little quote from my previous song post! It made my day! It's great to hear you posting a tune again! I was just thinking the other day about how I had not seen anything lately! Your song is a beautiful piece of music telling a touching tale! This song should touch the heart of any listener! I enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey

Gary, Good tune with a good dose of nostalgia and humor (I hope I got that right  ). Nicely laid piano and very cool lyrics. Listens very well! Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. Overproducing.... yep, that is my nemesis. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Gary,

I was just thinking the other day about how I had not seen anything lately! Your song is a beautiful piece of music telling a touching tale! This song should touch the heart of any listener! I enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey Hi Torrey. Your "little quote" was a lightbulb moment for me which has re-ignited my passion for this weird artform known as songwriting . For that I thank you. Your quote reminded me of why I like this forum so much. I take away (steal) a little piece of everyone's posted song to reassemble into my own song writing jig-saw puzzle. Much of the music posted here is fresh, stimulating and interesting unlike the domination of the mainstream media by bland cookie cutter Hip-Hop. Hence , increasingly I get my music fix right here. [stepping down from soap box] Torrey As for your lovely comments re. my song... A very,very, humble appreciative thankyou. Best Regards Gary.

Cool tune super vocal. Loved the lyric. Nothing better than going home and revisiting old memories of friends and experiences. Well done

That was a nice listen!
The piano is a great focal point for this song.
Enjoyed the nostalgic story in the the lyrics. Good melody.

Gary,
Love the piano in the opening; captures the ear straightaway. The vocal seems perhaps a bit too forward; with a bit of static introduced in the recording each time the vocal kicks in. I might look to soften and sit them back just a tad. The song is solid otherwise—really nice write and the melody is engaging. Good tune!
Best regards to you,
Deej

Hey Gary,
It's great to hear some Australian imagery. I loved it!
As I listened, every now and then the Peter Allen song "Tenterfield Sadler" kept springing to mind. This is a great thing. It's one of my all-time favourite songs.
I really enjoyed listening and I'm a fan of the Queensland images.
I had to look up where Barcaldine is. Wow!!! That's quite a location... the geographical middle of Queensland. It's a long way from Melbourne where I live. Google tells me it's a 20 hour, non-stop drive from here to there!
All the best and thanks for some great listening!
Noel

Thanks Noel. . Barcy is a great friendly outback town that has it all : heat, dust, flies, 4XXXX beer & Slim Dusty music....what more could you want? In recent times Grey nomads have breathed new life into Barcy and the welcome mat is always out for lock down weary Melbournians. Thankyou for your listen and comments Noel as it is extra special to get the nod from a fellow Skippy.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
