I have a C-note for the bottle.
Quite a rollicking song! You keep outdoing yourself. Love that Dave guitar solo (oooh, and a mini bass solo). Cool harmony in the ending.

Marty,

This is fantastic. I love, love, love the groove. You, Dave and Bill have really reached the stratosphere with this one. The lyrics tell a great story and bring quite few smiles along with them. There's lots of fun in this musical journey. You really are a very creative songsmith. Dave's guitar work along with your singing and bass playing are always top notch and shine really brightly in this mix. Moreover, it's very easy to hear that this is a genre in which everyone feels 200% comfortable. I tip my metaphorical hat to you all on a job well done!

Musical excellence!
--Noel

Excellent production and mix.

A delight.
A real hoot!

The video was fun...

Thanks, Floyd. The whole idea was to make a tribute to an old band from the 80s and 90s, Daddy-O & The Sax Maniacs. They'll never hear it.

Thanks so much, Bob. And thanks for your help in getting the mix right. Hmmm, I also predict that you'll be back here.

You can always tell when someone gets the mix right. The song jumps out of the speakers and you start looking around the room to see where it's coming from. Big number, well played and sung.... the band is staying together!!

Kind regards
Thanks, Lee. I like your qualification of jumping out of the speakers. A good way to describe the intent.

Mr Bell does more ofhis Godd Good Thing and sounds as live as the overall vibe suggests.
Another winner from the blues rock duo du jour and n'importe quelle année.
Ha, I like that Band in a Bottle idea, Ray. A couple drops of this and a dash of that... Man, you're right. Isn't it cool how Dave grabs the idea of each song and fits in perfectly?


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Marty,

I was convinced I'd left a comment on your song on YouTube!
A week ago, I think, Marijke and I were watching your video and laughing out loud at your band(s) who don't make a cent from their music. Just like me...
But just now I saw—to my surprise—that I hadn't left a comment on this funny video and the amazing song!

I can imagine you won't want to talk to me if I do this again...

But as I said (and if you read between the lines), Marijke (that's my wife, for the others here) and I enjoyed the song, the show, and the empty bottle.
It reminded me of Stefan Nachtsheim and how he makes his great, funny videos! (For those who don't remember him: he was a member of this forum for years with his fantastic videos. Just look him up online.)
You could be his friend now, oh, you already are. You've been in a few of his videos...

And to continue: not only did we enjoy the song, but we were also amazed at how quickly you jumped from side to side with your powerful bass. At your age...!

Great song, Marty!

Hans

Great use of horn RT's 👍
A lot of skill required to stitch all this together - bravo 👋
Loved it. 💗
Izzy.

"Going to take a short break for a long time" - killer. 😎
Hahaha. I'm so glad you caught that very versatile instrument created by the wonkiest instrument maker, OpenArt. We only hired the guy cuz of his instrument. No one can really play it. OpenArt needs to create the musician who can. Yeah, those horns were tough to duck behind Dave's fabulous fingers and keep out of the vocals. Glad you feel I did it. Thanks so much for being you, Izzy. Ain't no OpenArt can match you.

Playing live gigs can be tricky if you don't get regular breaks (especially if you're paid in pints of beer).
Take a well-earned 5 and give yourselves a 10 out of 10.
Haha. Cool comment. Brian. You get it. Paid in pints... Sometimes the bar owner wouldn't want us to take breaks so we couldn't get another.

Ah, I predicted you'd be back, Bob. And I still say it needs a harmonica-- or is it AN harmonica?

You know money in the bottle will bring us back again.

Ah, so that's why my tip jar remains empty.

Clever lyrics, well sung, and some amazing guitar.

You had me worried at 2:20 that the bass player might be getting a long solo. wink
Thanks, David. Haha. That was my solo.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Amazing dance band that brings joy to every face - and lightness to the wallet. Great to see you guys play in the Live Ai concert, just wondering why the bass player needs five different instruments during one song laugh Excellent arrangement, those horns sound really funky, the live feel is well present. Great vocals, and very pleasant harmonies. And I surely enjoyed the sonic charm and the skills of all the players, Dave's solo is so hot that the smoke alarm must have had trouble holding back its scream. If I could ask for something, the bass solo would have been much longer wink

Well, you nailed the mix, Marty, as those horns sound great.
Like Hans, we were also reminded of Stefan’s music.

You’ve got a cool groove with the BiaB wrecking crew.
Along with hot guitar by Dave, sweet harmonies and a fine lead vocal.
Love your bass and the cool little interlude with the bass and drums.
And a witty lyric that anyone who has been in a band can relate to. smile

Cool way to start the year!

Y'all keep on the dancing smile

Love everything about it Marty! It's swingin' goodness!
Your vocals sound better than ever, and blends well with the excellent background harmony vocalist!
Dave sounds like he channeled a little bit of Brian May (Crazy Little thing called love)!
Guys, your talent is on full display here and it's wonderful!

Marty ...

That walking 4/4 bass drives this so perfectly. great lyric, arrangement, a presentation. That lead guitar by Dave kills it! And Bill sounded terrific, too.

I think this is one of your best vocals - sounds great. Your songs are always worth the time to listen.

Great work! For sure!

Haha. Dance band,huh? Thanks, Janne. We're better live, but we dance better in video. Well, those clips were from different shows. We end every set with the Bottle Song. Haha. What a great comment, Janne.

Thanks, you two. RayC also mentioned Stefan. Yeah, he is remarkable. Sorry I gotta make this quick, but on my way here I noticed you have a new one. Thanks also for all your help and inspiration in my mixing education.

Thank you, Paul. Dave, at first was reluctant to play over horns, but I told him to ignore them and they will play under him.

Thanks, Alan. It was always good being in a house band on open-mic night and having the next contestant say, "12-bar Blues in A." Much bettter that the trumpet player who turns to us and says, "4 flats. Ready? 1-2...1-2-3-4," and just starts blowing at about 255BPM.


Enjoy whatever happens!

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! 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.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
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.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
