This is a BIAB Blues tune I came up with. Mack Sanders & I on guitar. Mack wrote and sang the lyrics.

Hope, you enjoy!

Moonlight Shuffle

Cheers,
Mike

Mike,

This is some very good work. From lyric and music to solos and vocal I'd rank this as one of the best I've heard hear on the good ole forum. Very nice job indeed!

Appreciate it very much! Only took 3 months (with breaks and other projects inbetween) to complete this one. Very happy you like it!

Add me to the row of congratulators - beautiful song! In addition to what's already said, I'd like to mention the clever way you make your way back into the verse at 2:50 (and 5:10). Cool stuff!

Smooth blues singing and guitar playing. I enjoyed the listen. Sounded pro from beginning to end.

It's awsome! I will buy it. Great tune & singing.

OUTSTANDING

This is air play ready. Some of the best contemporary blues I've heard in a long time.

Thanks so much, Jepster. Goes to show you what you can do with BIAB and a little effort, doesn't it? Man, I am so happy that this song is so well received, I can't begin to describe it!!!

Mario, coming from you, this comment means a great deal to me. I will convey all of this to Mack. He really did the hard part, singing the tune but he pulled it off!

Couldn't be happier!

Mike,

Oh my - WOW - smooth - awesome - superb - it has all been said.

Just a wonderful job.

Congratulations - I like it

Well pretty well everything has already been said on this one.

It’s quite simply outstanding. Beautifully crafted and played with a simple but hard-hitting lyric.

I particularly liked the major chord based bridge section. Clever!

Maybe the whole piece should be shorter, but I really can’t find anything else I would change.

Very hard to believe that there are 8 better blues songs than this on SC at the moment!

Respect!!

Much appreciated! That bridge came to me out of the blue (funny, for a Blues, eh???) It's a fun tune, perhaps a bit long, but had to cram everything into those 6 + minutes we could. Could have been longer LOL!!!

Appreciate the respect! WOW, thanks!!!

Cheers,
Mike

(52 and still kickin' ... not much longer though).

Super everything. Sounds like I'm sitting under the speakers at the Monterey Blues Festival.

Thanks so much, Don!!!! Every now and then, all of us just get that one where we say "Hell YEAH!!!"

I believe, this is one of those tunes.

BIAB, RT's RD's some real guitar and a great voice, what more can you ask for???

Thanks, Peter Gannon and the tireless folks behind the scenes for producing such great product!!!

Cheers,
Mike
