I really need FReeper help if you don't mind.
Son has a talent show coming up and we thought "Old Army Hat" would be great. Great vocal range for him because he is in JHS.
The song is especially poignant for him because an older soldier who did work on our home took a liking to him and gave him his army cap. I burst with tears. He's going to wear the hat for the performance. Also, his GF (WW2 Pacific) went on Honor Flight and son still remembers it. He wants to honor them both at his performance.
Does anyone know where to get a backup tape he can sing to?
Tape?
What’s a tape?

There may be karaoke versions of songs on youtube or amazon/itunes.
Sorry, CD. Forgive my age!!!!!! I’m an old mom. Cut me some slack.
I’ve searched and found nothing as far as backing tracks. You might try to get in touch with Bill Anderson, who wrote it, or maybe Billy Ray who also recorded it. Another possibility,,, there are audio programs which remove the singer. The singer is usually set in the middle of the stereo recording. So that might be a possibility. Using Bill’s or Billy’s recording, and deleting the vocal, leaving you with the left and right music with no vocal.
OK....’backing track’. I should know better being a musician, myself. LOL!
You can get software to take the vocals out so you can use the voiceless song for karaoke. Not perfect, but if you can’t find a backing track, DO it yourself.
You might find an eight-track with that song on it floating around somewhere.
** ducking **
That’s a good idea. Would the Sebelius program be able to do that?
Lol! Gawd, I’m such a fossil.

Something like this;

Enter “remove vocals from recordings” in your search engine. There are a lot of options!
Just a guess, but since this is Free Republic and there’s always some FReeper who knows the answer to every question, I’ll bet you hear from a talented FReeper or two who can play the song on piano or guitar and send you an MP3 or CD of it. That would be so much better than a canned karaoke track!
I had that song on my hard drive and Blackberry, but I lost my Backberry and my hard drive crashed.
Sorry.
You may have to contact the people on the site, I have had some problem down loading it.
Thanks for the ping. <3
