She's not old enuff either, but I love her voice and her band "swing out" on this wonderful, great gift from Steven Sondheim! Listen to the second number from her..."You Needed Me"

Just another great gift from Sondheim!!

Just a couple of examples of how music can reflect and get us through some tough times in life.
I thought of all the fellow "seniors" who have been sharing==and caring---and coping over setbacks and such.

Glad your still here, and I almost forgot how good looking Shirley Bassey was. I guess today she would be called "hot".

Surfboard Modem...I'm so easily dumped into Gulf Tropical Storms, ala the latest one, "Debbie"...and it

It's surprising how many folks get all freaked out by 3 numbers. 666! They have no more meaning than 123, but still folks get all nutzoid about them. (Actually, 123 has more relevance since ......, ... well if I've gotta explain it, you wouldn't understand anyway.)

They're just numbers and nothing more.

JMHO.

But it IS strange that when I hit on the post "666", Tropical Storm "Debbie" arrived off the Florida Gulf Coast, and "enjoyed" G-Daddy's neighborhood so much that she has "stayed put" for the past few days dumping rains that the locals haven't seen in years...she's dumping warm and wet, all over the state, along with high circular winds that have spawned a number of small tornados and some nasty flooding...mostly Central Florida. Aside from ripping down a number of stately Oaks, Debbie has brought enuff dark clouds into my sedate life....for me to keep posting "feverishly" until she takes off for south Georgia....slowly...so slowly!

The number 666 in the Biblical prophecy referred to a specific Caesar (sorry, don't recall which one) and has already been fulfilled. Therefore it is null and void as far as the present is concerned. Unfortunately, like the number 13, it has entered the culture in the popular mind as a portent of evil. It just ain't so, friends.

We now return you to your regular programming.

GRACIAS!!

It's been quite awhile, I know...I haven't had my internet up for months. I'm still playing (along with my J.Turner knock-offs) ...my ol' Roland GR-303 Metheny Synth/Jazz Solid-Body Guitar...the sole reason that in subsequent years I've added a dozen or more synth keyboards/sound modules/recording equipment...all because I happened to pick up on Metheny's approach to jazz via synth/guitar sounds! I remember you emailing me about the "GR-303"! I also picked up a couple of fretless basses...ala Jaco Pastorius..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cpwaq7CxD4&feature=related

What "set me off" as a Metheny fan...???
I had had too many martinis that day, many years ago... and ended up picking up some chick, plopping her on the back of my Honda 750 bike, and somehow making it up thru Chicago's Outer-Drive to her pad...and first thing she did was get "Are You Going With Me" on the turntable...
All I know, this record was spinning us around...I was already mezmerized with her, and no doubt this with Metheny playing in the back-ground, was my "rite of passage" into Metheny Land!

I remember stumbling over a Roland "303" and the little blue synth that came with it, in the early eighties...
That lil synth guitar could really "shout it out", as this video shows it in action...eventually, after his
girl singers turn the stage over to Pat!

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.
