Hi Deej, wow, what can I say - that is really some kind of plaudit... Thank you so much for those terrificly kind words !!!! No, deej, I'm not playing live anymore. I stopped playing in a band about ten years ago; since my vision has dropped to far below 10%. It's no longer fun to leave the house at all. And I'm afraid (no, I'm dang sure) I'd ruim any stage set-up within minutes by stumbling over leads and knocking over microphone stands and stuff .  But that's the way life goes. Thanks again and all the best, Stefan

Hi Ed,
your very kind words really made me blush - thank you so much for that heckuva comment.. As much as I'm flattered by your assasment: I think that there are many folks here on the forum that are far better un using BIAB than I will ever be.
And so kick away any shame - we're all learning from each other here, I think.
All the best,
Stefan

Dear Janice, dear Bud,
since you two belong to my musical favorites I am always especially happy to read that you enjoyed what Maha and I do.
Yes, POed, it's a shame things make you feel that way, but even if you got a long fuse and do your best to believe in the good (and intelligence) of mankind that's what you finally and necessarily become, I think... Well, not everyone, obviously ;-))))
I'm always very happy to read that you enjoy those little gimmicks like Mahas cameos and to be honest: Every time I'm brooding over them (which usually is the last part pof the production) I ask myself: Will they (i.e. you) enjoy them?
So thanks an awful lot and take good care,
Stefan

Excellent protesting you angry old man You have written a long story, but full of truth like "Instead of wisdom, moral and integrity, the world is being ruled by sheer insanity." and full of good advices like: "If you think ‘My country first and screw the rest!’ Remember sunday school: The first shall be last’." and references to Orwell etc. I really admire all the effort you have put on all these words, music and that excellent video. Angry Finn - very nice surprise to see him on your video  Janne Hello Janne, I am really happy to read that you not only enjoyed the funny side of JFTR, but obviously share some of my opinions. Thanks a lot for your very kind comment. All the best, Stefan

Hi Stefan and Maha, That was a fantastic listen and watch! What an amazing write, stellar production and "Wow! this is incredible" video!  The creativity and the sense of unbridled fun that the two of you consistently manage to unleash in your presentations is always first class entertainment. I can only imagine how long it takes to create something as polished as that Youtube clip.... incredible! All the best for 2020, Noel

Hi Stefan, That was a very enjoyable listen and watch (I choosed the YouTube-version). And what an international group of people... if you work close together in the future you might be able to stop the melting of ice in Greenland... I vote for you to continue your career of wicked protest songs... Stefan, I think you are a star... Maha needs to refine her performances and maybe stop being a lazy producer (we all know they don't really do anything)... Maha, come forward and sing for us together with Stefan...please... please... Happy New Year to both of you! Will

Hi Ray, ... I was absolutely sure that I had written a thankyou-reply to your very kind comment, but when I just controlled the thread I saw that I hadn't. Please forgive me - obviously 'angry' is not the only adjective that fits old me...  So thanks an awful lot - positive comments from your side are always especially welcome !!! Seeing all those terrible videos of the bush fires we, of course, think a lot of our Australian forum friends hoping that they and their families and friends are not affected by this desaster- And, of course, we all hope that it will be over soon, even though the latest reports don't give much hope. All the best, Stefan

Dear Noel,
what can I say? Your very kind comment on JFTR did not only make my day, it definitely has the potential to make a whole week.
Thank you so much for evrything you wrote - I hope I won't disappoint you with the forthcoming productions.
All the best to you and yours for 2020, and as I just wrote to Ray: We do hope that our Australian forum friends are not affected by those terrible bush fires. And we do hope those incredibly brave fire fighters will manage to blow them out soon.
Take care,
Stefan

Hi Will, thanks a lot for your very kind and most humorous words that really made me grin for a while. Glad you liked the song and, of course, there is still some wickedness inside of me, but I think I will prefer to come up with some nicer songs at least during the next months. Of course I passed your plea to that lazy girl of mine - since she's still not that healthy she will have to stick to less excentric parts of our production (which fit her mentality more anyway), but I am sure there will be times (and I do hope they'll come soon) that she will be more of a stage hog than she is now. Dear Will, all the best to you and yours and thank you so much for your continuous support of what we are doing. To me it's the support of a person who really knows a doggone lot about music, so it counts at least double! Take care, Stefan

Dear Mr. Stefan Nachtsheim... I just listened to your steam-rolling 'protest' song, Just For The Record. Would you believe that I'm (almost) at a loss to begin relating to you how fantastic I think the song is??? Well, it's true, Stefan. You blindsided me with this one. I'm almost speechless, but not speechless enough to at least try to convey my utter amazement and wonder at what you have created. Where do I begin? The lyrics are as ingenious and stinging as they are humorous and charged with the force of moral truth-telling. The music generated by the Real Tracks is like an express train hurtling down the tracks, leaving the listeners with only two choices -- jump on, or get the hell out of the way. I love the intro, with that driving, exciting, 'Shaft'-style stick work on the drums, followed by the wailing harmonica. And that vocal track! You deserve some kind of award for delivering a such of torrent of lyrics/words with such amazingly accurate timing and phrasing. It made be feel out-of-breath! Obviously, you are a skilled singer. The vocal harmonizing in the chorus is energetic and quite thrilling. I couldn't make out clearly your contribution to the mix through your guitar playing, but since I didn't hear anything played off-key, or off-tempo, I guess you must have played it quite well  !!! 'The Smothers Brothers' would have loved to have had you perform this song on their long-running show, which as you may remember was regularly censored by the show's combative producers at CBS who felt that the brothers' comedic sketches and songs were too progressive and too disrespectful of the 'conservative' status quo at that turbulent time in American history, the 60's. Any old way, I believe you've revived a musical tradition -- the 'protest' song -- in a musically exciting and potently descriptive way. As the American writer, Evelyn Beatrice Hall (1868-1956) so famously said, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."Power to the people, Mr. Stefan Nachtsheim !!! And, please, post those lyrics . LOREN
