I _slightly_ disagree with some lines (memories of the bad times also come alive in some songs and are also worth mentioning), but that's just my darker side showing.
LOVE your vocals (I can hear the smile on your face), and your band sounds really good.

Thanks for that suggestion, Brain. I thought of writing more about ALL kinds of songs, the good, the bad, even the polkas, but wanted to keep the song short. So i concentrated on the good stuff. Maybe my dark side could make a song about the bad times of our lives. wink

Cool, Dan. Glad it got to your chill center. wink Maybe a coarse madman would be a better moniker for this old dude. Still, ain't grumpy yet though. Seriously, thank you so much.

Thanks, Brad. You, sir, have written some really fine songs, and I'm glad you like this one.

"Sappy songs with sibilant sounds" splendid synopsis smile And "But the songs that still excite my soul are the ones I sing with you", you always find the right words. That fiddle has nice nostalgic vibe and together with the pleasant chord progression lights the fire and really excite my soul. And "Songs bring out the best of life", yes, music is the language we speak on this forum, telling more about us than any words. And memories of us live forever in these songs, they are not just 'some songs', they are 'The Songs' - the best times of our lives is spent here, I hope you agree smile

Wow. Nice.

Happy Easter, man.
Frantastic comment, David. [Bet you knew I was gonna say that wink ] Happy everyday to you, and thanks for making our Easter a better one with your encouraging song about being kicked in the butt. [Now that's sounds like an odd comment.]

Thanks, Laurent. Your song about Normandy instantly brought back good times for BeBe and me.

Well, you guys were definitely on my mind when that lyric popped in.
Yes! Harmony in life is precious.
Your song brought back many memories for us and the video is most cool, especially the cameos.

The fiddle was great and the autoharp also fit the nostalgic mood.

The mix features the smooth vocal and fine supportive bass so well.

Love it!

J&B
Thanks, you two who are one. Very cool you caught the nostalgic use of the autoharp.

Ha! laugh
Thanks, David. Yeah, I'm old, hence the sibilance, and still in love, hence the sappy. I was never a singer, but now that I sing anyway, it seems like I'm just acting a part.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Janne, you are definitely one of my all-time favorite humans. "Spendid synopsis" seemed somewhat silly. Still special. You're right about the songs on this forum and the folks that create them. I enjoy these songs more than any others.

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."
