Hi everybody, I wasn’t sure wether or not this song wouldn’t be too personal for the forum and if I should post it here at all. But there have been some very emotional declarations of love of forumm members to their wives (like recently Torrey’s masterful ‘Roll With It’), so I finally decided to present mine here, too. Everything is pretty different from what you have heard and seen from me so far, but this is me, too. We’ve had a terrible year and there were times when the question ‘Would you miss me?’ wasn’t that absurd at all, so this emotional song had to be written in that most emotional musical genre I’ve loved ever since: the Blues. And, yes, there is no video this time and, yes, the song is far too long, but I wouldn’t know where to shorten it. So here it is: WOULD I MISS YOU ? Wishing you all Happy Holidays and the very best for the year ahead - stay healthy and creative. Best regards, Stefan ====================================================== Musical details: Basic style is _MONDOR.STY (Slow Swing Blues w/ Organ ) Bass: RT 564 Guitar: 565 Guitar: RT 569 Didn’t use the following RealtTracks in style Organ: RT 673: replaced it by a real organ track played by my old fellow musician from the 70s: Bernhard ‘Ruppi’ Ruppersberg RealDrums: BluesRock128: replaced by an own drum track using MTPower Drums and some fills coming with Sennheiser Drum Mic’a Added: Back beat guitar (just threw in some MIDI chords played through Kontakt Factory Selections - Jazz Guitar) Trombones: written in the Piano Roll Window, played through Big Fish’s Vintage Horns. Me: Vocals and guitar solos (just using my Fender Strat Jeff Beck Signature and my old Fender Champ) It may sound funny that Maha who is, of course, the one I wrote this song for, did all the sound editing and the mixing, but she didn’t become tired of it, so this was okay with me, too. Like always she worked with RealBand and its reverb and dynamics plug-ins plus EazyQ parametric EQ and finally used Ozone 8 for a tiny wiff of mastering.

Stefan,
A touching, heartfelt song.
The guitar soloing is as soulful as the vocal.
And everything else is nicely done. Cool organ. Nice horns. Maha's mix is excellent.
Wishing you the best in the New Year...

Stefan & Maha, Ruppi
Amazing!
Stefan, you are excellent bluezman! I am sure many "authentic" boys and girls from New Orleans would (are) feel a little jealous. Man, I am so grateful to be one of the first ones to hear this! Stefan, thank you for being here! Happy Holidays!
Misha.

Great stuff, you have the perfect voice for the kind of music you do, and the guitar was sweet. I could listen to a lot of this, but maybe not in seven minute doses. Sometimes shorter is more effective, but that's just one opinion. But what a great job you did, wish I could sing like that!

This is VERY cool but not as cool as hearing the other part of your voice. Have you heard/listened to Richard Clapton? he's an Australian rocker who spent a lot of time in Berlin in the 70s. His gentler stuff is very similar vocally....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC40QqfcLfM
Your guitar playing is/was perfect for the track - and a nice bit of "woman tone" too.
Cool, lovely, emotive and a great testament to your love.
Cheers

Hi Stefan,
This is a very nice, emotional sung Blues. You let me hear it some days before. Already then I liked it mutch, I only told you to shorten it with 2 minutes. You told me you couldn't, because you didn't know what to cut. And I was wrong, I can see. This story can't be shortened. Everything is in it's place. And the emotion is very well expressed by your vocals.
I think it won't be a bad idea if you do some more Bluessongs the coming year. As long as there is no more 'blues' in your life. At least I surely hope that will happen...
Hans

Stefan,
Firstly this shows you are an excellent vocalist in this genre-timing and expression plus!
The lyrics have some clever/fun metaphors to keep the affection real... and to keep us wondering where the list of miss you`s will go next!
The guitar solos are as sweet as the song`s inspiration.
Robert

Love the guitar solo! The lyrics speak to the hearts of us who adore our wives. Such raw, honest emotion. Your singing is superb as always. Great work, Stefan!

Hi TuneMonger, thank you so much for holding on the whole song and even more for the very kind words you found. Like I had written: I knew it was very long, but really did not know where or how to make that thing shorter. The only possibility would have been doubling the speed, but I discarded that thought immediately  Happy holidays and all the best for 2020. Take care, Stefan

Stephan, I wouldn't care if this tune was 20 minutes long! Sometimes it takes a while to properly express yourself! Great vocal with real feeling in it! Love the band you have assembled here! Clapton never asked for permission to extend a solo and you shouldn't either! Great tune! Thanks, Torrey
