Great singing and playing, Sol! Love the guitar tone and vocal FX chain you're using as they add to the classic (and classy) sound of the track. Great arrangement and use of BiaB instruments. Sweet song, I'm SURE the Mrs was VERY pleased...

Hi Sol! Good vocal and guitar playing - I like these personal versions that you post. This song has a classic sound - it would hit the spot at a dinner-dance I reckon. Did you say how your wife responded to your statement?  Andrew

My first thought when i wrote a Reggae song was to get RayC to play bass. Excellent choice. I must have the same drop-the-one allergy as you. For my 2nd one i took the bass challenge myself. Just finished another one with a mix --some ones hit, some not. This is said to show i'm not one to ask. I've played many Reggae songs, but creating basslines not so much. Love Reggae by others though --now, you included! Love this Reggae of yours, Izzy. Glad those wonderful lyrics that started in a doctor's office and were inspired by the rags you read there, finally found a landing zone. Who woulda thought it would be in the islands? The lyrics sound good just spoken as a poem. Very cool song pic, too. You and Mel sound great. Great feel to this and the perfect bandmates. Much enjoyed.

Wow, Chay, you are a maestro chef packing in so many ingredients for this Reggae-infused instrumental. Very tasty indeed. You always amaze me how you can mix so pleasently all of those ingredients into such a delicious dish.

First of all, what a terrific hook: "Every time I look at you I think that I might be okay." Man, very relatable from both sides. What a fine write, Bob. It has an uplifting feel that carries the words, and it builds with anticipation to the chorus. I like the mix, how you occasionally separate Tom from side to side. Good production all around. Good band. Excellent harmony choices.

Lost in the clouds... Yeah, that often describes me listening to one of yours, Mario. Man, i like it (T)here. What a cool background of musical ambience you provide for the glimpses of melody and... i don't know what you'd call it... musical excitement from the other players. Ha! I was in a bit of a hurry to hear your newest, and went straight for the music without reading your description. Wow, this cool compostion took me to a waaay different place. If this is what work is like, i'd never retire.

What a great song, Herb. First I was blown away by the link you gave us. So much that i had to look up the original. Another good version. Outstanding production and playing on them both. Whew! The vocal range on the new version is inhuman. Then on my way down here to tell ya stuff, i saw another version on YT. Oh yeah, now i remember where i heard this cool song before. This may be my fav version, but who cares. This time i saved it for more spins. Thanks, Herb.

An interesting perspective on how it might all end for us. Personally, I believe in life before death  Good band, good singer(!) and Dave played an amazing solo. You guys should start a band!  Thanks, Brain. i'm with you on that life before death. Cool concept, coolly executed, Marty. Great vocals, bass and lead guitar. Like the dramatic change of pace at the bridge. Nice band that provides enough musical glue to draw all the human stuff together without distracting. But I do like that BiaB piano a lot, too. Yep, it's the ol' death-and-taxes reality. Guess we'll all find out...on the other side. Thanks, Ron. Taxes aren't part of the equation really. Just living and dying. My mom always said it's the dash between the dates on a gravemarker that matters. Marty, Amazing song and video... Really top-shelf lyrics and delivery. Your vocal is outstanding! Dave is excellent as usual. You guys are a great musical pair. Superb mix - just the whole package! Bob Thanks, Bob. Always encouraging words from you. Hey Marty, You’re asking the big question here, what’s not in question is your ability to craft a great song, and Dave’s lead guitar to give the song an epic feel. You’re both in fine form. Enjoyed the change of key at the bridge and the imposing atmosphere topped off by the momentary pause before the verse. Great songwriting and musicianship as always, both you and Dave. Kind regards. Hello, K-Dub Ya. That Bridge is weird alright. Thanks so much for your kind words.

There really isn't anything new here. When I was teaching guitar I'd tell the students after you learn the basic techniques I will divided the lesson in half, half for continuing out of the book and half for having fun. If ignoring the book learning then the fun stuff will stop. My lessons were not a strictly go from book 1 to book 2 etc. Students learned more advanced techniques more easily when playing songs that they want to play. Learning fun stuff started early in the lessons to get the student motivated. Note that all of the fun stuff was in notation that was modified to the students skill level. I have had great success with this method and so did the other guitar teacher I was sharing students when we both worked at a music store together. YMMV

We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
