I may have posted this song before (not sure), but I am sharing this because something made me really laugh. Just seconds before I was going to hop on a mentoring call with NSAI today (Nashville Songwriters) I saw I had a NSAI eval come in for a song I wrote as a joke for a sync licensing possibility elsewhere. I never gave it a second thought--until I got the best review I have ever received from Nashville. For old school redneck. This is a snippet: "LYRICS: I love how you open the song! Think you have a really good bar drinking old country song and it’s amazing. MELODY: I think this would be great for sync. I think there is a market for this! I miss this kind of country music on the radio and I wish it would come back!" Hmmmm. Floyd, Herb, and the rest of the gang, put your boots back on boys and girls. We have some tracks to cut on the four track. Hope y'all still remember your Nashville numbers. Gas 'er up. I'm swinging by your house in a minute Floyd. Make sure your wife understands. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/a-wanted-man A Wanted Man By David Snyder V1 Well I used to have myself a lot of women 'Til I found out that my name had got round It seems the girls don’t like Sharing all that much Now they run me out of Thirteen dozen towns, and CH They don’t want me in Oklahoma Alabama or North Dakota no one cares at all exactly where I am Oh I wish that I was still The King of the Hill Yes I wish that I was still A wanted man V2 One day you know I might end up in prison For stealin’ hearts and running from the law But when that warden comes And shows to my cell I’ll swear I loved Everything I saw, and CH They don’t want me in California Tennessee or Minnesota no one cares at all exactly where I am Oh I wish that I was still The King of the Hill Yes I wish that I was still A wanted man Inst.

Cool tune. Yes, I'd love to see Harlan Howard kind of songs come back into style.

I'm fairly certain I've heard this. Edit: Ooops. Forgot to mention that's a good thing, because it's a memorable and funny write, and I'm &^%$ when to remembering stuff. Hope you make a pile of money on this!

What a fun lyric, David.
A friend and I wrote one with the same title and idea some years ago but more in a JC style.
Best of luck with it.

"Oh I wish that I was still
The King of the Hill
Yes I wish that I was still
A wanted man"

Didn't you steal this from Tater Tott? For that matter...what did you do to him? he seems to have disappeared...hmmm
Country.
Indeed.

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."
