Champagne & Roses Here is a song Leon & I wrote written probably about 40 years ago. The original was a guitar and vocal on an old 4 track - lost in the dustbin of time. Updated and sung by Janice, with a rockabilly piano based backing. Janice - Vocal Leon - Lyrics Bud - recording Janice & mix advice I played the guitar (and did a little midi programming on the bass fills etc). The Band: RealTracks in style: 2426:Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlowSwing Sw 085 RealTracks in style: 2428:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm RockabillySlowSwingKevin Sw 085 RealTracks in style: 2427:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RockabillySlowSwingBrent Sw 085 RealDrums [in Song:RockabillySlowSwing^06-a: Sticks, Hat, b: Sticks, Champagne & Roses Sometimes at the closing of the day When evening starts to exercise her sway Sky above the city turning midnight blue My thoughts turn once again to you And to incense and candle light, champagne and roses These are the kinds of thing my mind discloses Incense and candle light, champagne and roses And the times I used to share those things with you I see a couple walking hand in hand Sometimes it’s as much as I can stand I feel like I will always be alone and blue I remember when I used to walk with you (Thinking about) incense and candle light, champagne and roses These are the kinds of thing my mind discloses Incense and candle light, champagne and roses And the times I used to share those things with you

No cobwebs on this Peter certainly passed the test of time.
Can't go too far wrong with Janice on vocals.
Great tune guys.

That's a really solid song.
The simple arrangement is perfect as is Janice's vocal.
Great guitar...made me want to hear the bpm upped though as it suggests a really swing RockaBilly thing.
I listened carefully for the midi bass fills and they are a little different tonally but only if I listen closely AND I'm probably imagining it.
Cheers

This song is both romantic and sad in its own way, and as always the vocals, mix, and playing is all wonderful! Great jobs you guys.
Cheers,
Ember

Hi folks,
that's the first song I've listened to on this forum for many weeks. And it immediately showed me how much I was missing.
Very, very nice - and it sems that it's custom-made for Janice (whom I adore anyway) - sung absolutely gorgeously.. A fine rockbilly song, well-arranged.
Lved the ending a lot - was it a 'bult-in' BIAB ending (which I think are really great sometimes) or your own idea? Sound is very fine, too.
Really well-done, take care, everybody,
Stefan

Top notch. The sort of easy-on-the-ear song you'd expect to hear on the radio or a juke-box. Well done.
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

WOW!! I knew I'd like it when I saw Janice was singing. Man, what an outstanding backing track. You guys rock!! Great song. I'd like to hear the original but understand it's sitting in the dustpan of time where I have a whole section of stuff stored. That's a good write, guys, and a brilliant idea inviting Janice & Bud.

Peter & Leon (& Janice)...
A really nice write. Simple, but not mundane. Nice bricks and mortar.
A gorgeous vocal (duh).
An excellent arrangement/production. The MIX is outstanding. Every instrument (and vocal) is sharp/clear/in-its-own-space and then beautifully blended - outstanding!!! What a Great Mix should sound like.
A terrific listen.

Hi Guys,
This is a good song with a catchy beat.
All mixed, played and sung well.
Peter - I know you like your guitar back in the mix but it is very tasty and I would love to hear it more upfront.
Well done.
Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Peter!
Golly! Yeah, I said golly! It totally fits this time period tune. Could have jumped right off the my ole black and white 13 inch television watching Hee-Haw! Peter, your guitar playing has always left me wishing I could play like you! And Janice, CHILD if you were back in the days of Patsy Cline, she would have had some STIFF competition! Gotta love throwback tunes like this. They required skill and care, including the writing, Leon!

I know that when I see Peter, Janice, and Bud in one song I know that I'm in for some ear candy.
Everything has already been said so all I can say is I loved it.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

That's a really solid song.
The simple arrangement is perfect as is Janice's vocal.
Great guitar...made me want to hear the bpm upped though as it suggests a really swing RockaBilly thing.
I listened carefully for the midi bass fills and they are a little different tonally but only if I listen closely AND I'm probably imagining it. Thank you Ray. It was a fun project! Janice

Nice work. Well written lyrics - good job Leon. Janice's vocals are top notch. Your guitar work is outstanding as always. The band kept it all in time.
Good one.

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."
