There Ain't No WayDi and I have been very sick since early January - somewhat better now. I've had two surgeries. I currently have a cast and metal rod from my fingertips to my shoulder - complete reconstruction of left elbow and wrist. Typing is quite a challenge! No guitar playing for at least 4 - 6 months. Anyway, I don't have anything new to offer at the moment (a couple partially completed, though - still need vocals and mixing). This is the very first song we posted to the User's Forum in early 2012" We wrote it in 2011 using BIAB version 11.5. It's the third song we ever recoded using BIAB. At the time, I knew absolutely nothing about mixing. So, there are issues there. But we no longer have the original stems, so all I had was the final stereo mix to "massage". But, we think it's a good song, so I thought I would resurrect it for the newer forum members to hear - big, ugly warts and all. If I ever find a list of the original tracks, I'll post them. But I suggest not holding your breath. Hope the song is tolerably listenable. PS: I owe a couple of forum members replies to PMs. I will get to those as soon as this cast and metal rod are removed (2 -3 weeks, they say). Di says "Hi" to all. I'll try to get some listens in but the comments will be very brief as this is a big, heavy cast and I only have finger tips to use. Thanks in advance. There Ain't No Way © 2011 Alan D.

Hi Al and Di, So good to hear a song from you again. Never mind it's a golden oldie. We weren't on the forum 10 years ago, so it's new to us anyway  We enjoyed listening to it! We wish you and Di all the best and hope you'll recover soon. Rob and Anne-Marie

My word. You're overflowing with talent. What can I say. You are a master of melody - meaning that you can communicate a song such as this one in a manner that is pleasing to the ear without being trite. Really, loved it.
Wishing you, truly, the speediest of recoveries. You're a treasure to this board.

Alan & Di, Sorry to hear about health troubles. Hope your recovery goes well. Well, this is new to me  Love progression and arrangement! You "massaged" mix pretty well, feels complete and clean to my ears. I have a very long way to go training my ears to get similar sound. Best to Di, and thank you for sharing. Misha.

I'm sorry to hear about the rough patch in there. Prayers for continued recovery! I've never heard this song before, so it's new to me. I totally dig the feel and groove of this song. You have some fun combinations of harmonic, melodic and rhythmic things going on. I liked the ride! Can I stay on for another go around? Seriously, what a good song all the way around. By the way, I've always like how you can pull off the right amount of vibrato when you sing. It never sounds overdone and adds just enough interest to your phrasing. Thanks for sharing this, and I'm fine with you posting some of your early material until you're back to where you need to be! By the way, since typing is difficult for you at this time, please don't feel the need to reply. My comments are for you, not to get comments from you! I hope that helps a little.

Another really nice delivery. Bright and uplifting, with a neat groove throughout.
Vocally, you keep shining with a consistent quality.
Incidentally, did someone had a birthday recently? There are some comments in the Off-topic section.

Hi Alan,
I'm glad you are back on the forum. I was missing you and Di.
It is a sad thing to read how the both of you struggle with your health!
Of course I too hope things go well soon for Di and you.
About the song: an oldie that still sounds very good!
The way you sang it is very, very nice. Lots of temperament in it and also lots of pleasure I hear when you were singing.
You have to get that pleasure again, Alan! I hope it comes.
Nice day and greetings to Di,
Hans

What a great day! I've been thinking of you a lot lately it seems. Glad to hear an update, and I hope you guys are improving every day. You can complain about the mix if you want, but I'm not with you on that. It sounds so good to me --probably because I missed you that much. I love the feel of this song, and the way you perform it. So good to hear you!!

Good Morning, Aaron ... First, thanks for the well wishes. We appreciate them. No charge for for additional rides - free refills! As far as the vocal vibrato - it's a self-taught element of my vocals. I struggle significantly with pitch, particularly on held notes. I find that by inducing a small amount of vibrato, I can better control my pitch. So it's something I do intentionally rather than my natural delivery. But, it seems to help. I'll probably repost a couple more older tunes until I can finish the ones in process.. Probably nothing more recent than 5 years ago. Thanks for the very nice comments. Best to you & yours ... Alan
