Thanks, Rob!

For everything else than acoustic guitars, I've used the most recent version of Band-in-a-Box, coupled with the sequencer that comes bundled with it, called RealBand.

It's not very simple to obtain good results with it, but since I use BIAB since the distant days of DOS   now I know exactly what to do, what is better avoid and how to obtain something with a *sense* of music.

Lot of fun finding out the best solution to my ears, I'm glad you like it!

great work alfredo, a strange experience for me singing someone else's words, and thrilled to hear such a great final mix.

Great colab guys!  ORH, perfect song for you.  Your vocals dead on as usual.  That fiddle is absolute KILLER!  Banjo isn't bad either!

Hi Alfredo and I agree with Geir, WOW. Classy work all round with supurb vox.............Willie

Wow is right.... fiddles/guitars/mandolins/The old res singin. This is a beautifully crafted song. Reminds me of my younger years takin trips to Branson Missouri and Lake of the Ozarks... This music could be heard on every street corner. Nothing catches my attention more than a great fiddle player. This one is definately goin on the play list. Great job guys... will have to take a trip up to the top of the mountain by my house and listen as I gaze over the valley... perfect song for such a scene.

Hi Rata-tat-tat
What you have said moved me. Really I wanted to do a song simple and direct as a popular song "that you can listen to on every street corner". And perhaps thanks to Alfredo a James, in some way, we have succeeded.
