Hello, Robert and Scott
Simple melody with only 3 notes (E, G, A) is very powerful.
It is wonderful the contrast between Robert's vocal and Scott's guitar.
Really good combination!
You play a janken game in Canada too.
We call "Rock Paper Scissors" "Goo Choki Pah" in Japan.
Paper is the last in calling order.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

What a tune! I'm loving this one - the groove, the guitar work, your vocals, the lyrics - it all comes together here. It flows magnificently, and has an almost epic feel to it. The sound is gigantic, and almost forces your attention. I can't help but imagine how great this would sound live. Great work and thanks for sharing Deryk, Thank you - I think Scott`s dueling guitars are at the heart of the "big" sound. Really glad you enjoyed our efforts. Robert Robert/Scott, excellent collaboration! Loved the lyrics and the guitar soloing. The insistent melody's stuck in my head now!   John John, Yes the melody is very repetitive - I`m glad it made an impression.I appreciate your listen and positive comments, Robert This song was a really cool one. I really love the artist choices you made. Awesome job, thanks for sharing! Thank you, Ember!

Robert and Scott,
I seriously loved this! Full of energy and attitude and a very, very clever and creative use of the of the "Four and Twenty Blackbirds" nursery rhyme.
Robert... I've never heard you sound better!
Scott... your guitar playing (both of them) really sizzled!
Very entertaining in so many ways!
All the best,
Noel

This is such a creative piece of music. Progressive Rock, Roxy Music and other 70s/80s influences.
Good work as always!

Groovy!
love the phrasing, guitars rock mucho
cool song
great write
Kenny Thanks for your listen, Kenny - I agree Scott`s guitars are very good! Robert So damn hot and so damn cool! We've said it many times but your lyrics would lend themselves to stellar videos! "Actually I kind of wished I could swallow sandpaper or something to rough up my voice to get more of that attitude into the vocals." Johnny Winter wrote that he used to shout/scream into a pillow to roughen up his voice...if I recall correctly. You could try that and not disturb your spouse You guys OWN this style around here and it's well deserved. Sophisticated psychedelia it is. Fine write, vocals and the guitars (playing and tone). Kudos y'all! J&B J&B, I`d like to make video`s... maybe some day when I give up sleep! I remixed the vocals a little - no pillow screaming, though I like the idea (as an antidote to my choral training vocal warmups). Thanks for your listens and support for the Scott/Robert retro sound!

That is some impressive performances from you both in a genre that is not much heard anymore. This trippy psychedelic thing that you guys got going is even better than what was back in the day. Great write and Scott’s guitars are the perfect fit. Nice one, Tom

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, There`s no escaping your accurate hearing... yes, its pretty much a three chord song. I play the game with my son ( he`s really quick, but predictable!) which gave me that part of the song idea. Thanks for listening. Robert Robert and Scott,

Noel Noel, There`s a few more bells & whistles on the vocal than I usually add, which might be why I sound better! I`m glad you were entertained by our collab. Robert This is such a creative piece of music. Progressive Rock, Roxy Music and other 70s/80s influences.
Good work as always! Thanks for the listen and likes! Great collab! Love the guitars. Very clever write. Very well done!

I appreciate your thumbs up, Steve. Robert That is some impressive performances from you both in a genre that is not much heard anymore. This trippy psychedelic thing that you guys got going is even better than what was back in the day. Great write and Scott’s guitars are the perfect fit. Nice one, Tom Tom, I actually had no idea there were all these 1969 redux songs lurking in my head `til the first collab with Scott happened...just have to go with it until the mine is done I suppose.I can`t speak for Scott, but my contributions are fueled by nothing stronger than Earl Grey tea! Thanks for your listen and comments. Robert

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.
