I do miss the "good old days" that Rick references, even though I know this is more than a little like missing the buggy whip or the rotary phone or spending the afternoon at the library...

Alexa, write me a song, copyright it and upload it. Use your judgement as to the genre and lyrics. The good news is that for many of us here, we at least experienced purchasing an album, treasuring it and sharing it. Hold onto those memories because those days are gone, gone, gone. https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677 BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

"Meet the new boss: same as the old boss." There's a long, long history of a top 40 brimming with relative tosh, label made bands and "product". I don't like much of today's pop but I wasn't a fan of much in the pop charts in the late 70s, (disco), 80s and 90s. If "Sky rockets in flight, afternoon delight" and "...but I've never been to me." can gracelessly ride the charts so can a lot of similar junk in 2024. Beato & Co. are making $$$ being the voice of the aggregated boomer. He has a point but he used hyperbole and reductive arguments as click bait. I'm a boomer but he doesn't speak for me.

That song was an earworm! I personally found it cloying and annoying, but an earworm nonetheless. As for lyrics, what do you expect from a pop song? It was a huge hit, and got five Grammy nominations and two awards. The writer had already written “Take Me Home Country Roads”. It was produced by Milt Okun, engineered by Phil Ramone. Milt said: Quote They were very, very good singers. . . . But this song was a particularly hard one to do. It was more complex and musically difficult than most folk arrangements. It was the closest thing to Bach that I’d ever done. But to your point about the record business, although the writer continues to collect publishing money: Quote Starland Vocal Band got one check in the spring of 1977. That was it. We received a check for $66,000 that we split four ways and have never seen another penny. . . . We signed a generic contract with Windsong Records, John Denver’s label, and the deal was never renegotiated when everybody else made such a big piece off it. That wasn’t kind. But you can’t take unkind to court. https://medium.com/david-connell/i-read-about-starland-vocal-band-so-you-dont-have-to-d2d1d087b805 -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The music video for that song included a section of the band lip syncing on a Georgetown canal bridge that intersects with the C&O canal trail. I must have walked over that bridge a hundred times. And I smile and think about this song each time. Just because. DC Ron BiaB Audiophile Presonus Studio One StudioCat DAW dual screen Presonus Faderport 16 Too many guitars (is that a thing?)
