Hi all I never posted in this forum. Don't know why really, silly me :-) Anyway, for my first post, I'm inviting you to listen to this song, which I submitted to the ongoing Xstra style contest, and Noel suggested that I posted the song here as well. So, here it is. I hope you enjoy it.
It's called [Link no longer valid]
I used the following style: _HARPING.STY. Harp and Fingerstyle Boom Chick RD: TrainBeatBrushes: a: Brushes, Kickb: BusyBrushes, Kick :Shannon Forrest RT2421: Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlapBoomChicka Ev16 100 , Dave Roe RT2708: Autoharp, Rhythm OldTime Ev16 110 , Quinn Bachand RT2517: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking BoomChickHighJoe Ev16 110 (Simple) , Joe Robinson RT2518: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking BoomChickJoe Ev16 110 (Simple) , Joe Robinson
I also added: Fiddle, Soloist Bluegrass Ev 130 #596 Accordion, Rhythm TexMexCountry Ev 120 #1292
I also added my own ukulele / banjolele, mandolin, and a little touch of acoustic guitar. And vocals of course.
It's a song about the beauty of nature, expressed in my own words. Any feedback or critique is always very welcome. Here's the lyrics:
THE MUSIC OF LIFE
Life is on its way now and every living being has its place now and I feel like I found my own space now and everything's ok
I'm living for today now I don't need to wait or care about tomorrow I don't have to look for someone else to follow cause I don't have any chains
And I know, the orchestra is playing I know, the symphony is changing
It's the sound of the trees, it's the sound of the clouds It's the sound of the breeze, and it's spreading around it's the music of life, evolving through the years It's a beautiful choir, and it brings me to tears
I'm riding like a free man I don't need to come up with some sort of "B" plan I don't have to lock myself inside a tin can and everything's ok
And I know, the orchestra is playing I know, the symphony is always changing
It's the sound of the sky, it's the sound of the sea It's the sound of the tide, and the sound makes me breathe it's the music of earth, evolving through the years and for what it's worth, it still brings me to tears
And I know, the orchestra is playing I know, the symphony is always changing
It's the sound of the trees, it's the sound of the clouds It's the sound of the breeze, and it's spreading around It's the sound of the sky, it's the sound of the sea It's the sound of the tide, and the sound makes me breathe it's the music of life evolving through the years It's a beautiful choir and it brings me to tears it still brings me to tears

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
