Latest from Marty and myself. Still no Chris, but it looks like she might be back in action by May. I have a couple of songs waiting for her  For this one I used the AI program from Microsoft called Copilot to generate the images, and was pretty much blown away by the results! Very impressive program. The Band:~673:Organ, B3, Background Blues BB Ev 085 4071:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm MemphisSlowBluesPat Ev 085 Marty Straub from BabuMusic is on bass I used EZDrummer3 for the drums and percussion, and played the lead guitar parts. Mixed in Reaper, mastered with Ozone 10. Music from the Soul (2024, Dave Bell)You shouldn't write a song if you got nothing to say
You shouldn't play a guitar if you can't feel the notes that you play
Music from the soul is what matters, at the end of the dayYou can't write a song from an empty heart, and make it sound true
It takes the tears and the laughter, to make a melody blue
Let the music from the soul, shine on through
Let the music flow on through you, like a river deep and wide
It carries joy and sorrow, on a soulful ride
The music will be true if you let your soul be the guide.
Writing from your soul, will make it sound true
It takes the tears and the laughter, to make a melody blue
Let the music from the soul, shine on through
Let the music from the soul, shine on throughAll comments welcome!

Great song lyrics, arrangement and the usual excellent lead guitar work. Wonderful.

One of Janice’s daily calendar quotes two weeks ago was “music in the soul can be heard by the universe” and we’re happy that your soul’s music is here for us. 😊
We agree wholeheartedly with your lyric and yours and Marty’s performances certainly let your souls and your joy shine through your music.
The wonderland in your video is amazing and beckoning to us.
Cool!

Dave
Your are speaking/singing some really truthful stuff here! Your guitar work is always so impressive to me! You have great tone for a blues type guitar solo that really delivers the goods! Marty's bass work is not to be overlooked here either.....always in the pocket and so solid! Dave you did a fine job singing this I know you are looking forward to Chris joining you for a project and it will be great to hear her again. You are doing just fine!
Thanks TB

Dave and Marty, the first thing that came to my mind was Bloomfield and Kooper.
Loved that axe!
Marty's bass is always in the pocket.
Great vocal and mix.
Blues at its absolute best.

Dave, really nice concise blues write. The guitar is on fire. Great feel and tone. Your vocal is excellent and delivers the message well. Marty’s bass is always in the pocket. This is modern blues at it’s best, Tom

I'm always impressed by your guitar solos with Marty on bass, I could listen to you for hours.
There's a certain magic between you two.
Your voice sounds a bit raspier than usual, but I think it fits the song well.
Mixing/production is really good!

J&B Happy you two liked the song, and thanks for the comment over on YouTube also! We are trying to grow our following there and every bit helps. As far as the video goes, I’ve been wanting to experiment with AI graphics after seeing what Scott and Robert have been doing, and Marty has done some cool things with it too. Lots of fun, and quite effective IMHO.

World weary vocals and a stinging guitar held up to the ear on fat, fat bass.
Excellent.
Cheers

Awesome song! Love the lyrics, and the world weary vocals are perfect. The guitar screams in all the right ways and places, and the bass is rock solid. Awesome song...did I say that already? Worth repeating.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
