Hello!, we went to an Irish restaurant a couple of weeks ago where they had a band playing Irish tunes of course.

Style is _DRURY+.STY (Drury Irish Alt Rock MultiStyle) RealTracks in style: 2749:Bass, Electric, RockShuffleHardDoug Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 3105:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaFolkShuffleSyncLowBrent Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 2750:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RockHeavyShuffleCraig Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 2440:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking FolkySwing Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 3187:Fiddle, Soloist, CelticJigAndy Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 3770:Tin Whistle, Low, BackgroundSoloist Folk8thsGeoff Ev 110 Loop in Song: Percussion Loops\Loop132bpm Tambourine Quarters 4 bars.wma RealTracks in song: 2458:Strings, Rhythm CelticWaltz Ev 100 RealDrums in style:BluesRockShuffle^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat Cheers!

Your song does indeed have a nice Irish feel to it.
I would probably remove the drums and just use the Bodhrán to make it sound even more Irish, but that's just my personal taste, because I play Bodhrán once in a while when I relax.

I'm 40% Irish and I'm not even 1% offended by "Green Hills." It's lively; spirited, even. Makes you want to get up and dance.
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

The wee bit of Irish in me said this is a fantastic Irish song. Note that is the real wit bit of Irish in me and not the Mediterranean Irish that makes up most of my heritage 
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Nice to hear you still sound so good in a different place, Mike. You know I thoroughly enjoy the smokey atmosphere where I hear most of your cool productions. This was a breath of Irish spring that had a special dancing quality. Do you like Greek food? You should do a whole European tour of restaurants with a new song from each, and call the opus European Seasonings. Excellent dish to start.

Mike,
As a person who has Irish blood and genealogical descent! I can say you did right by the folks across the pond! This highly energetic piece is a joy to listen to! Excellent work!
Thanks, TB

Thanks Torrey and David for your comments. Marty, as a matter of fact, I have done different pieces from different countries which BTW, comes to a very "a propos" with your suggestion. I'll be posting those in a separate posts although I have done so a long time ago.
Cheers.

Hi Mike ...
Really nice! I particularly loved the flute. They can be so difficult to work with sometimes. But you scripted it perfectly.
No Irish in me until getting to the very early 1800s - my great-grandmother was a Stephenson, whose lineage goes back to Ireland. I'm mostly Welsh & German. Regardless of all that, this was a most enjoyable listen that had my toes tapping all along. A very nice change from your typical soft, smooth and mellow. Very entertaining!

Thanks Scott and Alan for the comments. Yes, it was a new and fun experience for me. I definitely don't have any Irish on me, more like Mediterranean, but I love their music.
Thanks for listening.

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."
