Mountain MagicI guess you could call this Alternative Folk Rock. It features a Mandola on lead. I apologize to those whom I didn't get to answer their comments on my previous post. Between my surgery follow-ups and Di's never-ending medical appointments, and everyday life requirements, I just ran out of time if I wanted any sleep. But, my appointment issues are less demanding and Di's will probably decrease, so I should be able respond to comments for a while. Thanks for understanding. Hope you enjoy this one.

Hi Alan, although is nice to respond to comments from the listeners life's matters takes precedent. I sometimes fail to do so soon enough, but it's ok, I understand. To the point, this is a very well made tune as you have us accustomed to. Take care

Great sound. Really loved the instruments you chose and I'm sure jealous of your mixing abilities. I hope both of you get well and get rested.

Great sound. Really loved the instruments you chose and I'm sure jealous of your mixing abilities. I hope both of you get well and get rested. Thanks a bunch, Brad, Sure do appreciate all that! As far as the mixing, I don't use anything but Audacity - no legit DAW. Most of my mixing is done on the chord input page - lots of stuff going on behind the scenes there. I then touch it up a tad in Audacity. I master it with the Soundcloud mastering option. That's it - nothing else. It typically takes me 4 - 10 hours to put together a song - from the very inception until it's as finished as it's probably going to get. The great majority of my posts are instrumentals since my wife's health doesn't allow her to sing very often anymore. I only sing when I want to annoy people - it usually works! Thanks again ... Alan

With its unique tonal qualities, the mandola is perfectly suited to carry this song. The backing instruments are well placed and mixed. I was hooked from start to finish.
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

Beautiful. How do you do it, time and time again? I genuinely loved this one - and I can't remember when (if ever) I didn't like a track of yours. Wishing you and your wife nothing but good health and good things coming your way. Thanks ever so much for sharing your music with us.

Wishing you and your wife nothing but good health and good things coming your way. Thanks ever so much for sharing your music with us. Hello James .. So nice to hear from, my friend. How do i do it? Simple: A little bit of effort on my part and a whole bunch of near-magical backup from BIAB. What a great software!!! Thank you for those very nice words. That is so kind of you to say. My health is returning rather quickly but Di struggles every day. But she keeps faith and will power in high gear. Wishing you everything good ... Alan

fj Hi Floyd ... Dang, you just cost me some money. The few hats I have no longer fit! This is one of my favorites from over the past several years. A simple melody and chord pattern. And just enough instrumentation to fill it out. Many thanks for your kindness. Wishing you and yours the very best. Alan

I tried several fiddle and acoustic guitar tracks but none of them really fit that good. I wanted to keep the lead acoustic, so didn't sample any electric instruments. Glad ya liked it anyway. Thanks for letting me know. best to ya ... Alan

Al & Di
This is a very enjoyable listen, Alan. You are a treasure trove of good instrumentals. Not that we do not enjoy your rare vocals.
The mandola sounds great.
A strong band and mix, as always!
We have a framed photo of Crested Butte, CO we shot years ago that looks similar to your cover photo and, boy, those mountains are magical indeed. Wish we were there now!
Enjoyed it!
J&B
PS. We hope things will settle down soon for you and Di.

PS. We hope things will settle down soon for you and Di. Hey Guys ... Thanks a bunch for the very kind comments. The mandola was my first choice, but I previewed 5 or 6 other possibilities. However, none of the other instruments seemed to to give the song the "character identity" my occasionally-working brain had embraced. So, the choice was easy. I like the slightly lower, richer sound the mandola provided vs a mandolin. A "treasure trove"? Not so sure about that but a pretty decent song here and there. But I certainly appreciate your appreciation for my efforts. I lived in Denver for 4 years back in the 70s. I still own 5.3 acres almost 10,000 feet up, just north of Cripple Creek. Paid $17,500 for it in 1979. My guess is if I had appraised, it would be worth a few dollars more today! Never got to Crested Butte. Gunnison is as close as I got. Sure is pretty up there in mountains. Getting ready to post another one either this evening or tomorrow - has a very unusual chord pattern. Sometimes my brain takes backroads from my song's beginning to its end, rather than sticking to the previously charted route. And you never know what you'll find on those backroads! Occasionally there's a hidden gem there if you poke around a little bit. Again, many thanks. Alan OK, my PS: I'm doing much better. They had to go back and so some repairs on one of my previous surgeries. But it's all good (or nearly so) now. However, Di is slowly regressing. We don't publicly make a big deal of our faith, but it sure helps us in troubled times. There's not much time for sleep and rest, but I have to take care of her. She's a fabulous lady and deserves the best care she can get from the professionals, as well as from me.

Alan, don't worry about listening or commenting. You take care of yourself and Di, that is all that matters.
Oh yea about the song! This is so pro. It sounds like it was recorded in a pro studio. Excellent work on the chord progression, the instrumentation, and the mix.
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.

Hi Mario ... Thank you so much. The came about pretty quickly once I settled on the RTs. I appreciate all those kind words. And yep, I'm taking care of Di the best I can. She deserves nothing less. Best to you ... Alan

Mandolin feels a bet strange at first (I would have expected Spanish guitar or something like this) but it grows on you, I'm halfway through the song right now and can't imagine it without the mandolin anymore. Interesting idea, I like the song.

Very rich chord progression, always pleasure to hear something refreshing that is far away from the pop list formulas, still having pop mood and enough melancholy to feed my heart. The song rolls firmly ahead bringing images of a horse running in a valley near mountains. The band sounds mellow and nothing distracts in the mix.

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.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
