Thanks for this post!
But I don't know what 'dig the groove'means.
I'm sure it must be a compliment, but Google translate tells me 'dig' is making a hole or trench in the ground.
And the groove is meant as something else then 'splendid', more a 'groove in a gramophone record' or a 'scratch'.
But it's nice you enjoyed the listen :-)

Marty and I were talking about you a week ago.
You are very busy making a new song with his help(?)
I'm looking forward to it,

Nice beat to this song, and good instrument choices as well. I really liked your intro and how you brought that organ in.

Janice said she could envision you dancing around like John Lennon in the park as you sing this. smile

Very good powerful lead vocal and harmonies and we like the band you chose.

We enjoy your wry sense of humor too regarding those silky sheets and filthy feet and the “but it’s gonna be lonely also for you.” Ha!

We didn’t hear it before your adjustments to the guitar levels were made but we certainly like the levels where they are now.

Cool!

Excellent vocal and a good overall track. I only heard the most recent version so no comments on the guitar.

A good song all round.

Hi Hans, I missed the original post but this one is awesome

Super vocal and mix

Great lyrics

You had me from the first measure

Hello Brad, Janice and Bud, Peter and Mario,

Well, I had to go back some pages on the forum to find my song.
It's a busy time on the forum, you can say that!

Hi Brad, very nice words from you! About the organ: I made some other Blues then (say from 2017) and someone on the forum told me I needed a B3 in the song.
A B3??? I didn't klnow it was the most famous organs for blues. So there it was. And when I made this song in 2018/19 first instrument in was that B3.

Hi Janice and Bud, oh I'm so happy the song reminded Janice on how John danced like me, or the other way around. But John is back!!!
The Silky Sheets and Filthy Feets have been mentioned several times. Not the piercing, scary eyes. I wondered why?
But yes, lonely nights weren't just for that poor loser...
But thanks a lot for the compliments!

Hi Peter, thanks as well for your nice words. And that guitar solo was playing while I started or ended singing. I still think it was nice doing that, but I had not enough votes, so...

Hi Mario, Yes, that guitar. Well see what I wrote to Peter (above). But thanks very much for the compliments.
They make the day!

Oh, and I'm sorry we kicked out your soccer team last Saturday.

Hans—

Love the vocal (as always)—and the BGVs in the chorus are terrific. Not sure I recall hearing the original, but you just have made all the right adjustments because this is stellar. Nothing not to like on this; all elements of the production shine. Outstanding tune!

Happy Holidays,

Deej

This sounds excellent Hans. Lots of energy in this!

Vocal wise this is one of your best. Particularly near the end of the song the interaction between the lead and background vocals gets really interesting.

Great lead guitar as well.

Derouchette, I'm pleased you liked it. It was fun to remix this 'older' song.

Deej, Love to read you had no complains! And about the original, it had the same nice melody, but the lyrics were a bit 'strange'(bad English) and the vocals were with too much reverb. I had to learn a lot. Still have...

Rob, I like what you wrote on the harmonies. Always difficult if you sing them all...
Jij mag hem ook zingen hoor ;-)

I wish you all a merry Christmas!

Hi Greg,

I had to look where thisa song was located on the forum. I knew you wrote me a post, but in the last week things went crazy here. Especially the weather; Super smooth, ice cold and also a personal cold.
But here I am for you.

I like it! Nice guitar solo. The voice level took a little to get used to, but, once my ears adjusted, I liked that, too :-) Really good job!!!

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!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
