FJ,
That was one excellent first post! Glad somebody bumped it. Don't know if this was updated in any way from initial release, but sounds amazing as is. Easy listen and thank you for being here!
Misha.
Thanks, Misha. This is the original (from 11 years ago). When I listen to it, I think "yeah, sounds like a guy who just got BIAB" - a bit too much steel, a bit too much fiddle - because we are THRILLED we can FINALLY have steel and fiddle in our song - Like Real Country!  (I should probably do a new production of this)

It has FJ printed all over it.
Like a Johnny Cash song, we can tell an FJ one straight out of the box
Keep it up, Floyd.
Vic Thanks, vic...

Floyd,
I can't believe I missed this one all those years ago... It's just great and a window into what we would hear from you in the future.
Bob Thanks, Bob. You were here before me - and were putting out the same high quality you do today...

First, I like the song. I did not get here till 2015, so I never had a chance to listen.
You always do first-class stuff no matter what David says...lol
We can always use a bit of the past here. The time here is growing shorter by the day for all of us. Perhaps a lot shorter for some of us.
Thanks to whoever brought this song back to life.
Cheers,
Billy Hi, Billy! Nice to have you drop by....

Wait!!
The latest additions in this thread can be turned into a movie!
The backstory is Tinsel Town gold! Forget Nashville!! This is Hollywood Baby!
Mr.Jane, don't you see!!???
We get Jason Aldean and Lady Gaga.
We call it Last Dance with Floyd and Jane.
She loves HIM but she hates country music, and so she drinks herself into a coma.
He flies into a blind rage and blames it on his song plugger, the evil Mr. Snider.
While he is driving to NC to strangle Mr. Snider, he writes just one more song with BIAB and it gets cut by Cardi B!!!!!
Can't you see it!!
OMG!
This is a MOVIE man!!!!

I did not pick up my guitar. Got a "real" job.
Turned out that lasted 10 years (no guitar. no radio. no music)
Then, one day I started writing again. Thanks for making and uploading music again  You may not have made it, but it makes me happy to listen to your music, and I'm not even a fan of your genre.

Awesome story of someone putting their talents and passion into the Nashville chipper-shredder, Floyd! I read every word and it's a story I've heard several times by acquaintances and friends - at least in the general sense.
I was down there for two years (89-90) but you made a heckuva lot more progress then I ever did! You should be proud of all those near misses and the ones you actually did have success getting recorded. You should consider joining NSAI. I assume you know about it already, but I think it's a great org for networking and staying inspired with and by other songwriters around the world.
I agree that BIAB is a great tool for songwriters. To be honest, they should hire me as their marketing manager with all the kudos I've given it to folks in and out of my chapter. LOL
Again, thanks for the inspiring and amazing recall of your songwriting past, Floyd.
Dewey

A great story by a great storyteller!! Unfortunately, my computer would not play the song, but I love the lyrics! I think the members of this forum have been extremely lucky to have gained input from and exposure to someone who was really in a place where it really was happening. It must have been fun. Why your songs never made it to the radio my friend, I will never understand.......a lot of greatness was missed out on by the country radio audience. So glad that we had the benefit that they never got. Take care. Greg

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."
