Mario,
Your introduction sketches an enticing scene... amply coloured by the band.
Bass tone is great... and then there`s the horns. You guys play better with a little fuel!

Mario,

Your narrative intro to this song really set the mood, and the music totally delivered. It captures the scene you set so well. I’m just trying to figure out who’s playing that great bass . . . the bartender?

Cool instrumental—well done!

All my best,

Deej

Thanx so much for listening. I'm glad you enjoyed it.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

You got it. Anytime you want to join just let me know.

No you don't want to hear the band after they got drunk. That is the biggest problem with BiaB in that when one guy gets drunk they all get drunk!

Thanx for the very nice comments.

LOVE the horns in this! Makes me want to write a song specifically so I can put horns in it.

I'm guessing the backing is BIAB and then you played all the solos? Great job! The intro story about the musicians in a bar jamming makes it easy to visualize each of the players you are acting out in this story.

Very clever. Well done my friend! I am impressed by your many and varied talents


Pat, thanx so much for this very nice review.

Yes BiaB did all of the backing tracks and I played the rest, as indicated in my initial posting.

Thanx for the specialist in creating a cozy atmosphere remark but I'm no specialist. I just like playing music.

Thanx for listening and commenting.

Thanx Robert. Those Ample basses are great, have many different playing options, but are expensive. I won all of them in a drawing, I couldn't afford to buy them.

The bass player's name is Bob Igantius Adam Bbrockall. He is the leader of the house band.

I'm glad you liked this.

We always enjoy your wind controller and guitar.

Enjoy yes ... understand what all you do no smile

My extent of midi is the occasional use of a MST so
I remain amazed at what you can do with it and
the controller.

Those horns are simply amazing. Love that guitar tone also.

Mario,

The ensemble of Swan Alto Sax and Kontakt Trumpet Master played via your wind controller is very attractive.
MIDI sound is probably the best fit for this performance.
And it's been very successful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello Mario,

All the instruments sound so bright. Well done!
It felt I was sitting next to the band.
I have no thoughts of pubs, bars or whatsoever, because the lockdown ruined those images.
Your song brings me to the 50's (at least to movies of that time).

I enjoyed it,
Hans

Thanx Hans. Around here the DWI laws killed most bars that employed bands. The lock down is killing the rest.

Hi, Mario, my good friend !

How nice to become drunk of the
superb music your bar combo put up !
That bar owner hadn´t needed to shut up,
with that combo, he could have had
the bar going all night and made a lot
of money !!!

Wonderfully cosy !

Cheers
Dani
