Two weeks ago Alan David posted an instrumental. He mentioned that he was having trouble coming up with a lyric. As I listened I immediately had the chorus. He agreed to let me in on this one. I hope you like it, Tom. (Al’s track is untouched except for the added intro, tag and nylon guitar edit via volume automation) Thanks Al https://soundcloud.com/ta2-659414413/sometimes-i-still-think-of-you

Nice collab. Sounds good to me. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hello Tom,
It's been a real pleasure working with you. I couldn't have put the music in better hands. Your life experiences and ability to turn them into a solid lyric shine through. And as always, your vocals and musical choices are excellent. Thank you for giving this song a new life. You did an awesome job!
I really like the pedal steel.
Again, many thanks - you came through in spades. The door is always open if anything else I do inspires a lyric for you.
Take care.
Alan

Tom / Alan,
This is a winning collaboration. Tom's lyric and vocal bring so much to Alan's beautiful instrumental piece. It is completely transformed into a real heartbreaker of a song.
Beautiful mix and production.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and will go back for many more listens.
Bob

I first read the subject line to include "A.I. and Tommy" and wondered whether I should be afraid. Ha! Oh...ALAN and Tommy. Well, THAT's not scary at all. Well, scary GOOD maybe.  Great job you guys! Just an achingly beautiful tune. Sounds just as good as I would expect from the two of you. And yes, that steel is very cool indeed.

Oh, what a treat!! Yes, really good lyrics fit so well, and I really dig Alan's song with the Tommy Adams cherry on top. What a great way to collab, Tom. Alan, I bet you were quite thrilled with the offer and the results. You guys should definitely do more.

When I saw that this was a Tom and Alan collab I knew it was going to be great!
Tom, you have really done Alan's beautiful song justice here! You have such a great voice for these slower country ballads and man did you ever hit the mark here!
I am sure that Alan is on cloud 9 over this one! I respect both of you guys so much!
Take care, TB

Bob Bob, I doubt anyone else could have done a better job putting a vocal and lyric to this than Tom. I'm very happy with what he did! he ain't too shabby! Alan

My word. Superb. The lyrics are incredible, as is your voice, Tom - AND, certainly not least, Alan's backing track. What a collaboration. Two superb artists working together - and what a result. More, please. Congratulations.

This is a great one you guys. As soon as I saw your names together on the same song I knew I was in for a winner - and you didn't disappoint in the slightest. The melody was a great start and the added lyrics work very well with it - I particularly liked that first verse and chorus. The nylon stringed guitar and steel were great additions and tastefully done. A+ gentlemen!

The song doesn't sound at all like something that originally had no lyrics. Perfect match.
You two should collab more often.
2 thumbs up!

What else is there to say?
Great vocal.
Nice touch with the nylon guitar.
Super mix.

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."
