My kind of music! Guitar and vox both were top-drawer. Excellent work!

"lost in the dustbin of time", sounds like a song waiting to be written!
Love the rockabilly vibe happening on the guitar parts, Peter, great sound.
Good write, Leon! Cool that you guys have known each other for so long and are still making music together.
And of course Janice always sounds fabulous!
Excellent song you three, enjoyed.

This song is both romantic and sad in its own way, and as always the vocals, mix, and playing is all wonderful! Great jobs you guys. Thanks Ember. Peter

I got a rockabilly vibe. I think it was the tone on Peters guitar. Very cool playing. Perfect backtrack for Janice's perfect vocal. Nice change up. So glad you blew off the dust on this song. Well done.

Classic country. As expected, Janice sounds like she's in her element, and the mix is clear and balanced.
Nice guitar work as well. Everything just works.

Hi folks,
that's the first song I've listened to on this forum for many weeks. And it immediately showed me how much I was missing.
Very, very nice - and it sems that it's custom-made for Janice (whom I adore anyway) - sung absolutely gorgeously.. A fine rockbilly song, well-arranged.
Lved the ending a lot - was it a 'bult-in' BIAB ending (which I think are really great sometimes) or your own idea? Sound is very fine, too.
Really well-done, take care, everybody,
Stefan Thank you Stefan. I so value your support and friendship! Best to you both, J&B

Nicely romantic and nostalgic story in a timeless arrangement. The mix is perfectly modern without being cliched. Great playing and singing, guaranteed high quality collaboration.

So much talent on one track! I played this kind of music back in the 60s and 70s. But we didn't sound anywhere near this good! Totally loved it! best to all of you ...

Top notch. The sort of easy-on-the-ear song you'd expect to hear on the radio or a juke-box. Well done. Thank you! Janice WOW!! I knew I'd like it when I saw Janice was singing. Man, what an outstanding backing track. You guys rock!! Great song. I'd like to hear the original but understand it's sitting in the dustpan of time where I have a whole section of stuff stored. That's a good write, guys, and a brilliant idea inviting Janice & Bud. Thank you Marty. Like you I'm glad they dusted it off and I'm happy they invited me in! Janice

Peter & Leon (& Janice)...
A really nice write. Simple, but not mundane. Nice bricks and mortar.
A gorgeous vocal (duh).
An excellent arrangement/production. The MIX is outstanding. Every instrument (and vocal) is sharp/clear/in-its-own-space and then beautifully blended - outstanding!!! What a Great Mix should sound like.
A terrific listen.
fj We all appreciate those encouraging comments floyd. Peter

Hi Guys,
This is a good song with a catchy beat.
All mixed, played and sung well.
Peter - I know you like your guitar back in the mix but it is very tasty and I would love to hear it more upfront.
Well done.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks Nigel Peter

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.
