This song came about after a brief chat with Marty, when I told him a story about my mother. He suggested it for a song, so here it is. Drums: Praise worship and Cowbell rock quarters Guitar: 693 Mandolins: 1948 and 2035 Fiddles: 3144, 3154 and 1878 Basses: 1268 and 2459 https://on.soundcloud.com/5miofThat's my Mama © 2023 Vic Arnold V1 Just 5 foot two. Permed up hair. Not afraid of no one. Didn't have a care. Held her counsel. Behind them blue eyes Weighed up the options. Dug out the lies. Ch.1 She's my teacher. and my preacher. Quite a fighter. There's no one like her. She was a oner A bella donna. That's my Mama V2 Walked me to school when I was 12 years old. Wrapped me up in wool so I wouldn't catch a cold. Cooking and a cleaning and scrubbing our clothes. Where she got the energy the lord only knows Ch.1 Inst. V3 Sitting in a bar in the nicer part of town. A girl gave me the eye to put her beau down. He's getting cranky and jumps upon my back. Mama swings her handbag, Smackety Smack. Ch.2 He was a goner, there no longer. She was a fighter. No one like her. She's a oner A Bella donna. That's my Mama Br. She always said one day I'd look after myself. But those blue eyes follow me from her picture on my shelf. She's my teacher. and my preacher. She's a winner. Chicken dinner She's a oner A bella donna. That's my Mama

Hi Vic
Great idea to write a song about your mother
A very good text
And musically and vocally very nicely realized
Cheers to our mothers
Many greetings

Fun tune, and (as others have said), a great homage to your Mum. She would have been proud - well done.

Nice work memorializing your mother.
The vocal seems just a little loud/detached from the backing and there are a few strident/sibilant things that pop out here'n'there that could be controlled if you've a mind to.
Nothing that's a deal breaker though.
Nice work.
Cheers

Vic,
A good Mama song. A good write.
"She was a oner
A bella donna.
That's my Mama"
Excellent soft-rhymes.
Good BAND.
Mix is balanced. The vocal stands out. I might tuck-it-in just a tad.
The song stayed in my head for some time after listening. That's a good sign...

Oh, man, this is such fun, Vic. I saw and heard this several times but wasn't home to comment. I love the chorus, and you know I love your vocals and lyrics. The lyrics in this one are just perfect, and I like the twist toward the end. Perfect band, and you made us all love your mom. Cool twist of Bella donna. Now, let's see... what else can we suggest you write about?

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."
