Yankee Dime

After the rain she appeared like a rainbow
skirt was pulled high, neckline was so low
I stared. All I could do was just stare

Her name was Claire and she wore a bandanna
She was down for the Summer but lived in Indiana
Up there. She lived somewhere up there
......................................She said
"Pretty boy won't you give me your time
and very soon you'll be mine, all mine
I'll give you everything I have
but what you really want is my Yankee Dime."

We spent our morning just lightly tripping
hot afternoons were for skinny dipping
I stared. All I could do was just stare

One sunny day we got somewhat wasted
decided to discover just how she tasted
Down there to see how she tasted
down there.
................................ She said
"Pretty boy won't you lay with me
for what you are doing I will pay a fee
Feeling this good might be a crime
But I will pay you a Yankee Dime.

For the next few weeks we sought the greatest pleasure
committed acts I knew I would treasure
I cared. I gave her my all and just cared
The days became shorter the nights grew cooler
I became aware that I would soon lose her
Back there she had to go back there.

...................................She said
"Pretty boy don't you look so sad.
You are the best I've ever had
Until I think of a word that rhymes
I'm giving you all of my Yankee dimes.
Now when I’m alone in the bright sunshine
I remember how I earned those Yankee dimes

BLONG,

A story well told. Reminded me of Jerry Jeff Walker's story-telling songs...

The BIAB tracks works well for it and the vocal fits.

I was not familiar with the term "Yankee Dimes" - had to look it up - never heard it used before...

Interesting.

An interesting vocabulary is one of the few benefits of growing up in South Alabama and Georgia. We considered our cousins from Birmingham to be Northerners. Don't get me started on carpetbaggers or scalawags.

Excellent song, great vocal supported by a great backing track

Two thumbs up

You continually write interesting songs, and this is no exception.

I enjoyed the listen!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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.

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."
