Our current User Showcase song “Your Blues Streak” recently got placed on a popular Spotify blues playlist. The curator is Don’s Tunes and they have several blues and Americana lists (and a Youtube channel that gets millions of streams). And the popularity of it triggered Spotify's personalized Radio Playlist and we got place on it also. BTW, Don’s Tunes featured Janice’s bio on their website which I’ve previously mentioned. If interested it’s here: Don's Tunes Featured Artist They have playlisted 36 (all BiaB based) of our songs - with PeterF on guitar of course  - over the past three years. So a huge thanks again to PG Music for enabling us to get many thousands of streams on the various platforms. It’s fun! No here intent to be braggadocio - just wanting to point out yet again how pleased we remain with BiaB. Bud

Rob, This is a cool blues song. It's truly authentic Chicago blues. Your harmonica playing is fantastic. The vocals are also perfect for this song. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, thanks for the kind review! Is there much of a blues scene in Japan, I wonder? Maybe I should come over and start one. ; )

A wonderful blues romp and I particularly lover your harmonica playing! Production, mix and arrangement, etc, is excellent, so I shall add no more! Thanks, Chay. From a consummate music crafter like yourself, that means a lot!

Hi Rob. This is superb listening. It's songwriting at it's very best. Your lyrics are very strong and they are supported by a first-class melody. I really enjoyed the vocals by Suno. They were really well done. To my ears this whole journey was pure delight. In addition, I really liked the refrain that ended each section. It's the kind of positivity that resonates with me! "Cuz since I met you honey, everything's been sunny, And I ain't got no use for these blues" You've got my enthusiastic round of applause! --Noel Oh, man, this review made my day, Noel! Thanks so much!

Positive blues that made me feel anti-blues Upbeat message with clever lyrics and the BIAB shuffle band make the world sunny again. Excellent harmonica playing, fits perfectly with the rest of the band. And the Suno vocalist has enough raspiness to sound natural and bluesy. Great songwriting! Janne Janne, thanks for such a great review! Really appreciate it! Bob

“I still recall what the blues is like, remember it all too well, Walking ragged through the worst part of town, on my way to hell, You cleaned up my act, that's a natural fact, so lemme shout out the good news (oh, yeah!) Since I met you honey, everything's been sunny, And I ain't got no use for these blues” That is a cool take on a blues write! Like the SUNO vocal - it has grit. Your harp sounds great to us. Nice BiaB session players and you wrapped it in a good mix. Enjoyed it!
J&B LOVE when my lyrics get quoted!! Thanks for such a great review, J&B!

Cool. The harmonica works but I get what you mean and bit of old amp break would add some spice. Yep, still irks me I didn't get that part right.

Pretty cool and moody blues. Good band, good singer, and I don't think the harmonica is a problem, in the context of the song it works actually pretty well. But I'm no expert on Chicago blues :)Enjoyed my listen ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks, Brain!

Sounds good, Bob! Hard to come up with an original blues lyric without it sounding cliched, but you pulled it off. Harp sounds good to me, nice playing. I actually have no problem with the vocal, fit the song well. Good one, enjoyed! Thanks, Dave! I was real happy with this. The only way it could've been better is with a killer Dave Bell guitar solo in the middle!

A couple of the things worth remembering about studios. Studios want mics that are very predictable and well-behaved so they don't waste time and effort (and credibility?) getting things to work well. It good marketing to have kit that the average guy can't or won't afford.

I use a PC with Windows 11. After a recent update my songs are all going into a BB folder on OneDrive. It's not convenient as I can't easily see my recent history or quickly access my songs. I'd like my songs to be stored on my C file with an option to back up toOneDrive. Would appreciate, easiest route, step by step guide to sort. Thank you. I think the other answers may be missing the issue here; sorry if I'm wrong. Windows 11 automatically assigns a number of areas to OneDrive ... forgive me that I can't presently remember exactly what. I do know that "My Documents" from the file browser side-bar goes to OneDrive, and I suspect the desktop, music and videos also all do. I think that the BiaB Songs folder (default C:/bb/Song) probably does not. I suspect that you're saving your songs to somewhere that Windows11 automatically assigns to OneDrive. I realised this when I found that I had two different folders for something that appeared to have the same name, but one of them was in OneDrive. Again I can't remember for certain exactly what, but I suspect it was C:/users/gordon/Documents and C:/users/gordon/OneDrive/Documents. Hopefully that will give some clues. FYI, one reason I can't remember is that I turned off OneDrive and remapped the shortcuts, though the remapping is a bit suspect ... not every application honours it. I keep my own songs in C:/bb/Songs/Gordon/ and then a hierarchy mostly based on A...Z.

Ooo, that opening piano is so inviting. Thanks for inviting us to your birthday bash, Mario. The entertainment was outstanding. The melody you devised for the trumpet was so good, and then that guitar knocked me over with goodness. What a wonderful sound, Mario.

best idea is to post the midi file somewhere so people can test. be aware if you got this midi from a third party sometimes there are embedded commands you have to analyse in the event editor and deal with. other than that i cant help further as im not a notation/lead sheet pro. my big weakness. anyhoo post the midi somewhere so it can be tested out...hopefully other users can jump in. om

Nice, Arri. Until now my favorite version is The Beatles version. I like the horns --the tuba. Man, this is definitely a song that sticks in your head and your version has so much to offer. We can close our eyes and see the whole band, and i see it in the 1920s.

This is so good, Ray. I really enjoy Steve's contributions, and of course that perfectly crafted bass track. The video is good too. Your videos have your signature technique and this one uses all that and more. An interesting trip for sure. Dig that solo and Steve's vocal is perfect.

Your percussion section is almost hypnotic. I really like that. Of course, I really LOVE the lyrics - you’re singing about something that’s very close to my heart. And you do it really well. Enjoyed my listens a lot Thanks, Brain. Yeah, i do get carried away in the percussion tracks, especially in a song like this. i never use -or almost never use-- any of the preset tracks in EZD because i like writing them myself. A really well sorted arrangement on this one Marty. That and a life lesson to appreciate all the beauty that surrounds us. Exceptional lyrics. A lot of thought put into the fine details, like the chimes etc. Well done Marty, made me stop and think. Kind regards. Thanks, Lee. Glad you liked the chimes too. It just seemed appropriate there. Marty. I love the natural images and the instrumental tones. I think your vocal can come up a couple of dbs. Vic Thanks, Vic. My vocal should never come up --that's why i like to sing behind a wall of sound. Hi, Marty. It's a lovely reminder to slow down and take in what we take for granted. It's an interesting approach to use minor chords on a pleasant peaceful theme and it works like a Moody Blues song, and that's a very good thing. The tempo compliments the feeling of slowing down to look around. Very nice work! John Thanks, John. I like the Moody Blues connection. This one needed a minor key to keep the mood receptive --if that makes any sense.
