I had a little fun with this one. I still could not put away my overdrive pedals after my last song with Robert. The song title comes from an inside joke with an old friend that I played in a band with when we were teenagers. If we heard a really wild band like Led Zepplin or Hendrix he would say wasn't that Fluffy. So this one is for Jim.
It is a basic three chord song style that we used quite repeatedly in the late 60's.

Scott,
Oh yeah... let that freak flag fly I say!
Nice psychedelic layers in the guitars here- particularly at the beginning and end. The atmosphere is from the era I very much enjoy as you know and though the equipment you are using now must be different from teenage band years ( what was the name??), the chops are still there.
May I use your word... COOL!

Thanks Robert. In the late 60's in Manitoba there was a band that took the country by storm. They were called the Guess Who. Did very well on the International market. There was an amp builder called Gar Gilles. He build amps for the Guess Who called Garnet Amps. He build amps modeled after the Marshall. Very big amps and very loud. Every garage band in Manitoba had Garnet Amps. Going into Winnipeg to get "your amp" was a right of passage for any young rocker.

I (Bud - not the younger wife) was 22 in 1968 and had spent my college years working with bands...managing and even a little studio work. All meaning IMO YOU NAILED IT!

I would term this "literate psychedelia" if I might coin a phrase. Meaning that it appeals to more folks than just the "twirlers" as Gregg Allman called them smile

Us forum members are all the better for you "having a little fun."

Really good work.

Wow, what a tune! Those guitars are fantastic. The mixing job on this is superb. It has a certain feeling of "epicness" to it, if you will. Again - I can't stress how well done the guitarwork here is!

Thanks so much for sharing, Scott smile


Cheers,

Thanks so much Floyd for checking out the song. Also thanks for the comments on mixing. You gave me so very good tips when I first started on the forum and have been working very hard on that part of the song production. It is appreciated.

Hey Scott,

Really cool! Sent me back to about 1968, or thereabouts. Iron Butterfly meets Zeplin??? Your fun carried over to us. Enjoyed your guitar work tremendously. Reverb and chorus ... yeah! Very creative and interesting. Thanks for the "trip"!

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.

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.
