Hello bloc-head
Excellent song
From beginning to end
Your singing is absolutely great
The whole song so well arranged
And the organ solo that goes into the sax solo - brilliant
I like it very much
many greetings
Andi ;-)

Lovely Valentine's Day song, very romantic story.
Enjoyed the vocals and especially the nice backing vocals.
Great band, nicely rolling rhythm, everything works perfectly.
I got some Eric Clapton's Change The World vibe in the instrumental part chords & guitar combination.

bloc-head,
Love the opening of this—those acoustic guitars are really engaging. And then it slips into a cool 70’s vibe, that reminds me of Hall & Oates or something similar. Actually, at times, it even has a Clapton feel on some of those guitar licks. Terrific set of lyrics and melody. Really well done tune from start to finish. And love that sax solo! Sweet tune!
All my best to you,
Deej

Sounds good. You remind me of Little Feat. Great guitar playing. The band hit all the right notes too.

Your wife has excellent taste, bloc-head. An excellent write and a good production. You do such a good matching the lyrics and melody with the perfect band choice, and then do an an excellent job mixing all of them together with the right piece shining at the right time. And you still manage to keep everything so clear and separate.

I've met most of the members of the Feats, post Lowell, and love them. Thanks for the friendly words... Your wife has excellent taste, bloc-head. An excellent write and a good production. You do such a good matching the lyrics and melody with the perfect band choice, and then do an an excellent job mixing all of them together with the right piece shining at the right time. And you still manage to keep everything so clear and separate. grin;-) Thanks Marty, I try to remind her regularly, but usually just end up just minding her...

A sentiment that the two of us can assuredly agree with ... for over 40 Valentines  We love the groove and Janice said it had her dancing in the kitchen -- a good thing! Nice performance, mix and the sax works great. J&B

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."
