Nicely done tune Hans...
I did like that guitar solo...
BTW...
You're "awful music on the radio" reminded me of the MRI I had to have on my leg...
The tech asked me what kind of music I wanted while in their clanging MRI contraption...
Whoops...
I mentioned country...
Forgetting that country music has dramatically changed in recent years...
Fortunately I couldn'r hear the country rap music because of their clanging MRI monstrosity smile!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Jim, this reminds me of something I heard way back in the 80s, when Bill Maher told Jay Leno on the Tonight Shos that he had developped a new musical fusion style, combining Country and Rap.

And he had named that style, too: Crap LOL

Greetings,

Stefan

Dear Hans...

So, you say you don't make blues songs so often??? Well, based on how gutsy your vocal was, and the way it amplified the bluesy sound of the Real Style you chose, I don't believe it's necessary for you to do blues songs often, because you did this one so well that its impact will last, and last, and last, for a lo-o-o-n-g time smile!!!

The way you sang your lyrics for Not Today, Blues (that's a pretty hip title, by the way), surprised the hell out of me. Passion is a fashion you wear very, very well. In fact, I came to that conclusion upon hearing the way you delivered the line, "If you still have these feelings for me". I literally sat up in my chair and said, not aloud, but inwardly: "DAMN!" I mean, sir, that the emotion in your voice came through as authentic and powerful, and it simply caught me off-guard.

Your lyrics are, to my ears, as electric and as immediate as the romantic crisis they describe. I could imagine you wrote them while you were actually engrossed in that 'real life' situation. Also, I couldn't help but be aware of how you so accurately phrased the words as you sang them. I mean, you sounded like a seasoned 'bluesman', Hans, the kind I would pay to see/hear at a blues club. The feel, the style, it was 'just right' !!!

So, don't worry about having to produce any more blues songs for a while, because this one's got staying power smile.

Hi Jim, David, Stefan, Greg, Torrey and Loren

Thanks for your replies and nice comments (except for Stefan, you replied on Jim...).

Jim, you mentioned having the same sort of experience when dealing with music that teases your brain for a long time. You understand perfectly why I had to make a bluessong! And you were suffering even more than I did!

David, thanks for the compliment. If it's alright, than it's good, ain't that so?

Stefan, I have nothing to say on your comment, beside you mentioning Bill Maher laugh . Like his shows!

Torrey, I missed you for some time. Glad got you back, at least for this song! Thanks for what you said about the song, and also proud to achieved the status of being on your list of favorites (the song I mean).

Loren, what a nice comment you wrote. I almost saw you jumping out of your chair when the chorus came, spilling whiskey on your trousers, shouting "Damn!" and suddenly liked the song for all that! When writing this comment to you all, I noticed the song lost it's 'staying' power' on BB... But I've mentioned your comment to my wife and she thinks you're a very nice guy grin

Hans

Hans,

I think the intro is very strong—not much of a blues fan, but it definitely caught my ear and attention. Good vocal that sits well in the mix and works well with the music. Engaging beat and just love the guitar solo (seems like I’m hearing a lot of those today—BIAB is on a roll!). Very chill tune—liked it!

All my best,

Deej
