Hi Floyd, I read everything you wrote about how you came up with this song and also about how you transformed into a woman. Uh, only in terms of the vocals, of course! I think the song sounds really great; a good rhythm, a good melody and lyrics (naturally), and also that female voice. The funny thing was that while I heard her singing, I heard you singing too. And it was also funny that I read that Ray said almost the same thing. Oh, and Scott Olson (above) as well. This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that female vocal. Not at all! It just means that I have heard so many of your songs, and know your lyrical structure a bit, which is why I heard you in it too. I immediately looked up Audimee on the internet. I didn't know it. It looks good/promising, although I did think their harmony examples sounded a bit artificial. I'm going to try it out soon. Thanks for the tip, so to speak! So, all in all, it is a very beautiful song, Floyd! Including that lady. Can we now expect that only female voices will be heard in your upcoming songs? Regards, Hans Thanks, Hans... We agree with Bob Dean on the Pat Benatar vibe. Power, passion and attitude that both you and she have are combined beautifully here. The BiaB session guys have good attitude also. Those drums pop and solo is excellent. I can just see the friend looking at Tammy with amazement. Why? She didn’t realize how lucky she was to have someone love her that well. 😊 It’s such a cool musical project for you and Deb and we can’t wait for the project’s completion. Way Cool and creative to the max! J&B Thanks ya'll. Much appreciated... Someone mentioned Pat Benatar. Yes, definitely a PB type song. Interesting about Audimee. I can tell it's you singing, the phrasing, the tonal quality, and the way you attack the notes, but so clearly a female voice. I'll have to try it sometime. Good song! Thanks, Scott.... Very cool tune Floyd. Boy that vocal is something else. Could recognize your singing style and the change is amazing technology. Super lyric and backtrack. Well done. Thanks, Scott.... Hi floyd. What a ride!!! I'm sitting here 5 minutes after the song is done and I can still hear the chorus in my head. I love, LOVE the development of these lyrics. Your music-writing, lyric-writing and arranging prowess stand strong and tall in this creation. Moreover, after the bridge, the emotional intensity of the final chorus soared. Kudos to you on such an amazing job. After the song finished, I read the back story. It was fascinating to find out how the song came about. I sincerely hope that your idea for a musical grows into something extraordinary. You certainly have the ability and the creativity to make it work. Prior to listening, I was not aware that you had used Audimee. As I journeyed along with the song, I was puzzled because I could hear your vocal inflexions and pronunciations. The performance was superb, and underlying it was a distinct floyd-jane style. Now that I know how you achieved this, I am impressed. Audimee and you did a wonderful job. For what it's worth, I am now sitting here around 20 minutes after listening, and your song is still in my head, and I'm still greatly admiring what you have done. --Noel Appreciate the fine comments, Noel....

Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac® is here with many major features and an amazing collection of new content! There are many major new features in Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac®. The program now features a sleek, modern GUI redesign across all areas, including toolbars, windows, and workflow. A new side toolbar provides quick access to track selection, the MultiPicker Library, and other key windows. The Multi-View feature allows multiple windows and elements to be displayed as layered panels without overlap, creating a highly flexible workspace. Many windows—including Tracks, Piano Roll, and more—have been redesigned for improved usability and a cleaner, more intuitive interface. We have an amazing new “AI-Notes” feature. This transcribes polyphonic audio to MIDI, so it can be viewed in notation or played as MIDI. It can transcribe the entire file (all pitched instruments) and all drums. Or it can transcribe individual instruments within the audio (drums, bass, guitars/piano, vocals). This uses an AI neural net to produce results that are accurate and sound very musical when played. Simply choose an audio file (mp3, .m4a, .wav, etc.) of your favorite band/pop song and then choose the instrument(s) that you want to transcribe and destination track(s) for MIDI. You can get transcriptions of the instruments (bass, drums, guitars/pianos, vocals), which you can play standalone or along with the audio of the song. This is a great way to learn new songs, as you can watch the parts play on piano keyboard or guitar fretboard. Use this along with the “AI-Stems” feature, and you can also split the original audio into separate tracks. And many more... New Add-ons Available for Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac®! Along with Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac®, we've released an amazing collection of new content, including 202 New RealTracks , new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, “Songs with Vocals” Artist Performance Sets, Playable RealTracks Set 5, two new sets of “RealDrums Stems,” XPro Styles PAK 10, Xtra Styles PAK 21, and more! Check out all the new add-ons here! We've packed our 2026 Free Bonus PAK & 49-PAK with some incredible Add-ons! The Free Bonus PAK is automatically included with most Band-in-a-Box® for Mac 2026 packages, but for more even more Add-ons upgrade it to the 2026 49-PAK for only $49. The 2026 49-PAK includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting additions to add to your RealTracks library. We have exciting country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason. We also have more exciting modern-pop styles, giving you that modern radio sound!

[/b]Hello PG Music, … P.S.: Additionally, I would like to know why this year you no longer offer a download-only upgrade option, as you did in 2025. only tab in the Mac Store for both new purchases and upgrades. Perhaps the EU version of the website has not been properly updated since the announcement is only hours old? I don’t know but it’s there on the USA site.

That was a very interesting article Jim so thanx for posting it. I really liked the music from those "outlaw" days. Willie, Merle, Waylon, David Allan Coe, etc were at their best during that time period. Please no hate mail. That is just my opinion and YMMV. +1. Agreed. For me that era was the sweet spot in a lot of country music 60's & 70's. Plenty of classics from before that, I will not argue. After 1980 fewer and further between. As Tom T. Hall. wrote in 1982 "There ain't no country music on this jukebox". Who could have said it better than the StoryTeller.

12 Bar Blues on Soundcloud 12 Bar Blues on YouTube I have a bunch of new ones I haven't posted yet, but this one is around 40 years old. It was one of the first songs I posted here, but this is a remake with Dave Bell. Wow, what a difference. Another reason for the difference is you folks of this forum. Man, I learned a lot in 5 years, and still have a lot more to learn. Maybe i'll be back with another version in 5 years to show what you taught me by then. Style is _TBLZSLR.STY (Texas Blues 12/8) RealTracks in style: 1922:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockSlow12-8 Sw 060 RealTracks in song: 2730:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesSlowSwingMike Sw 085 RealTracks in style: 1924:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockSlow12-8Sol Sw 060 RealTracks in style: 1923:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockSlow12-8Brent Sw 060 EZDrummer Dave Bell ( Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang. 12- Bars Blue Flight 507 flew in from Dallas. Sue stepped off crying. She said, "Who's Alice?" I said, "She's just someone who's no one, so don't get so upset. There's hardly any mem'ry left inside me to forget. When I miss you, I drink the stew inside these 12 bars... blue." She said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory. I heard the dirt from her husband Henry." I said, "You don't know what you're saying. Her husband Henry's dead. Some red-hot barmaid, Dinah, might o' blasted off his head." She said, "It's true!! So that was YOU when those 12 bars blew." I daresn't doddle, but doodle little. I'm fit for bottle, but not for fiddle. I'm not in shape for haulin' [*****], so let those Mounties come. I'm dining in my glass. You know I'm not just acting dumb. She told the screws, "I've got good news. He's playin' 12-bar blues. Judge said my travel he's gonna limit. When I smell trouble, I double back in it. My life's a nutshell in a cold cell. I still say, "Alice who?" There's 12 bars out my window ---and 12 on them, too. I think of Sue, and drink to stew, behind those 12 bars. Blue. I think of Sue, and drink my stew, behind those 12 bars. Blue. V- A A7 D Dm A E F#m D A E-D,Dm6 A E7

Well, you sure picked a couple of the best tunes to emulate, John, and did a terrific job. Love Carry On, and you're right, this one carries me away too. It was a fast trip so i decided to take it 3 times. Excellent lyrics and what a wonderfully moving beat. A great travelling song. Your pleasent mix makes the ride so enjoyable.

Hey Brian, I really like this one a lot. I could have been the first one to post but I think the PG website was having some issues that day and it wouldn't load on my phone. But at any rate I found this one to be mesmerizing from beginning to end. An absolutely superb production and mix with a wonderful feel to it. The best way I can summarize my listening experience is to say that this really reminded me of Peter Gabriel. And that is giving you my very highest compliment because I can't tell you how much I love me some Peter Gabriel. Great great work. Thanks for posting this and cheers to a wonderful tune.
