Hi Eddie, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly respond to your post about me and or my song, which by the way I kind of doubt that you listened to! I have spent a considerable amount of time working on this and I would prefer to have it visible for more than a day or 2. Apparently you would like to see my or anyone else's material fade away soon! I usually get several comments on any song I put up and I am grateful for those! I feel I should respond to each one instead of lumping them all together as you evidently would like for us to do. I am not a confrontational person but I have decided I will not let negative people like you try to tell me to hide my work! This is a great place where we can share our material and I have no problem seeing other people do the same thing I have! I have taken time in the past to comment on your work and be encouraging about it. I certainly never looked down on you for responding to those or anyone else's comments! I don't know you but it would appear you have some real issues being a supportive type person and I feel sorry for you. If your way of thinking about this subject is the general consensus of all the forum members then I will withdraw from this community and not be heard from again. But somehow I doubt this! I only wish you could see how your actions are making this an unpleasant place for many of the people here. Torrey

PS, I will continue to thank each one of the people who commented on my song in turn. Thank you!!

I too will respond in public. YOUR actions are selfish and greedy and make it uncomfortable for ME, and trust me, I care far more about me. You DO NOT own this forum. You are not special. You DO NOT have any kind of elite status here. Nobody does. Your songs should rotate like everyone else's. I don't know if your ego is that huge or you are so insecure that you need to beg people to pat you on the back and tell you how wonderful you are, but I will rail against this attempt to monopolize the songwriter showcase forever. If your song rolls off, it rolls off. That's how it works. I don't give a furry rodent's behind how much time you spend on your songs. Everybody does the exact same thing. Maybe you should look into that bible you thump and see what it says about being greedy and inconsiderate to others for your own personal gain. (Perhaps Proverbs 28:25 to start.) You go ahead and keep bumping your songs every 20 minutes. I will keep lambasting you for doing it. Or maybe I will just sit on the songwriter showcase and bump my own song 20 times JUST to move yours off the top page. I have nothing else to do. I could not possibly care less if your feelings get hurt or not. Monopolizing this forum is wrong. If the rest of the users don't think so, or prefer to not speak out like I do, that is their choice. You really want to go to war with me? Bring it.

No dog in this fight but also no dog collar on me, meaning I think and speak for myself.

Torry I love your work. I love the themes of the songs you write and post. You are one of my favorite vocalists here on the forum and I always look forward to your posts because I'm getting enjoyment from the music and many times blessings from the lyrics.

I actually think of you as one of the elite posters here on the forum. Your work in writing, production and performance is stellar.

Torry, I want to be the first "to pat you on the back and tell you how wonderful you are" and you have my complete support and encouragement to continue to use our User Showcase for it's written intended purpose. If that's cause for eddie to go off the rails - that's ok too.

Hey Torrey,

First of all I want to say that I'm really glad I saw this post because I just popped in to the User Showcase for the first time in over a week (my eldest's Bar Mitzvah was this weekend and I've had a lot on my plate work-wise! crazy ). As I almost never go past the first page of the showcase forum, I would have totally have missed this excellent track if you had not taken the courtesy to respond individually to each person commenting on your track.

I think this is a top track (and I don't throw out empty platitudes--in fact if you check my post history, I've probably commented less than a half dozen times since signing up to the forums a couple of years ago). I love the sweepy synth bed, the lovely U2-esque shimmering guitar parts, the precise gain levels, and most of all that glorious grindy punchy bass! The track itself is melodic, catchy, and very well mixed.

Well done my friend, and keep up the good work!

I am late to the party and a lot of what I wanted to say has already been said so all that I can add is that I like this a lot. Great vocal, guitar and backing tracks.

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!
