Thank all of you very much for your kind comments. We appreciate everybody taking the time to remark. I wish I could post some of my wife's singing on our other non Bluegrass efforts but they are covers -- mostly alt-country or light jazz versions of Mellancamp, CCR, Allman Bros, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, etc.

Having played in nothing but bluegrass bands it has been both interesting and fun to explore other genres. So far we have used only Realtracks and one Blue mic for vocals. We transfer the tracks from BIAB over to Garageband for effects and mixing.

One thing I've found, at least for us, is that it is much harder to create Bluegrass tunes than alt-country or country rock. We have the complete catalog of Bluegrass Realtracks but it remains pretty limited. I have to do a huge amount of cut/paste, etc., to get the rhythm guitar and bass tracks to fit my notion of a good track re the runs, etc. For the solos I generate many many versions and piece them together. I'm sure you folks do this with your respective genres -- it's just that I can put together a drums/electric instruments/horns track a lot quicker than I've been able to with acoustic instruments.

Again, thanks and I'll post one of our straight ahead Bleugrass songs that we wrote. I don't know if there are many hardcore Bluegrass fans here -- so you might have to go to a "Bluegrass Exposure" support group after listening!

Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
