Good morning all.... I got off my duff and finished this one. For the record: NO!....I've never sat at a casino table and gambled.  Many thanks to Ken for his creative input and great axe playing. Thanks for giving it a listen and hope you find it worthy of your time. Have a great weekend everyone.... _TBLZBSS.STY Slow 12-8 BariSaxSolo Blues [60RS] RealTracks which include 2 El.Guitar and El.Bass Texas BluesRock 12-8 and BluesRock12-8 RealDrums. (El.Bass, Sax(solo), El.Guitar, El.Guitar, Drums=BluesRock128^6-HiHat,Ride) BIAB: drums/bass/Organ Guitars: Ken Lasaine Lyrics/Vocals: Wayne Evans https://soundcloud.com/chulaivet1966/gamblin-man-ken-lasaine-on-guitarshttps://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandID=897733"Gamblin Man" 112 bpm Key of C Verse 1: I had my taste of money knowing when to say ‘hit me’ or ‘stay’. Every day was sunny, an easy life of beaches and babes. Some will say I’m lucky, others say I’m out on the prowl. (you betcha’, he just might getcha’) Nothing lasts forever. I dread the day my luck runs out. (hold on ‘cause it’s comin’) Chorus: Gamblin’ was my game, it’s a risky occupation. I never let them see me sweat. I always read the table, never get impatient and count the cards before I bet. Verse 3: Pretend I’m passin’ through, just another face in the crowd. Stay calm, cool, collected, this is not the place to run afoul. (you know better, could lose your treasure) Chorus 2:Gamblin’ was my game, I tried to walk away. Lord knows how hard that I tried. Tables full of strangers, a life could be in danger. Knowing every exit is wise. Bridge: Db/ Eb/ Fm7// Db/ C7/ Fm7/ G7/ SOLO: (chorus music) Cm/ Bbm/ Eb/ Fm7/ Cm/ Bbm/ C// Verse 4:My mind is all a jumble, I don’t know when to raise or to fold. Got myself in trouble with all the wrong people I owe. Chorus 2 Outro: bridge music – fade to end Copyright: Lyrics – Wayne Evans Music/arrangement - Wayne Evans & Ken Lasaine

Wayne and Ken
This is like going back and listening to a song by Cream! Thought I was listening to Eric, Jack and Ginger! What a cool song! That guitar is smokin' and I love that organ you put in! It's a great jammin song for sure! Great job!
Thanks, Torrey

You know I'd love that driving bass. What a good song, Wayne. Man, Ken sure is good at making a good song better. Good choice of harmonies too. There's no gamble on this one --it's an instant winner.

Well good morning gentlemen.... Howdy Torrey.... We thank you for taking the time to give a listen and the generous, favorable comments. Having a good guitarist to collaborate on my drivel is nothing short of serendipity for this old bird. In case I didn't mention it, I suck at lead guitar. Howdy Marty.... Ha....glad you approve of the bass. I love a 'driving bass also....maybe that's obvious by now. Plus, my writing style usually calls for it. Thank you both again for giving it a spin and the very kind words. Have a great day everyone....

Those guitar tracks are ACE.
Cool song - might need to lift the organ to balance the rhythm gtr though.
Cheers

Top of the mornin'.... Howdy Brad.... I thank you for stopping by and kind comment. I just send it off to Ken when I'm done and he never disappoints. Howdy Mario.... I was pleased with the final product. You know how it can go....one listens/assesses a song over and over and I begin to wonder if it's any good. Many thanks for chiming in with the generous comments. Howyd rayc.... Ken does a fine job, that's for sure. The organ wasn't supposed to be very present, just bedding but I'll give it another listen based on your comments. I thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. Have great day everyone....

Not bad at all. Bet this was a lot of fun to put together. Organ was fighting with the lead vocal a bit in the mix but it wasn't bad (and maybe just on my monitors). Thanks for sharing.
Rick
8.7 out of 10. Very nice.

We’ve never gambled either, Wayne, but your lyric conjures up a pretty cinematic scene for us. Great driving rocker with excellent vocals and guitar by you and Ken. We too really like your choice of bass and organ RT’s. The mix is excellent and we are always down with a shuffle Y’all make a great team! J&B

Good morning everyone... Howdy Rick.... Thanks very much for stopping by and commenting. I didn't hear the conflict you refer to but everyone's monitors will translate differently. But....I'm noted for sometimes being a bit too conservative with the lead vox volume. Yes...I enjoyed putting this one together but I would suck at the game. Howdy J&B.... Thanks for listening and the generous kind words. Ha....that subject offers up all kinds of imagery to my pea brain. I hear on the 'shuffle' thing bit I didn't want it to be too up tempo....112 bpm seemed to be about right. It would be easy to get too verbose so I had to imagine the bullet points. Then, get the chorus nailed down. Thanks again to all of you for listening/commenting. Have a great day....

Mornin' BD.... Ha....no, really...I've never gambled at a gambling table! I'm quite sure I'd be one of lose all your money in record time magnets. Howdy Deej.... I feel very fortunate to have a lead guitarist who likes my material enough to contribute his talents. Otherwise, I'd probably have many still sitting in a lonely "Unfinished" folder. This song makes the 15th collaboration that we have done together. Thanks very much gents for taking the time to give it a spin and very kind comments. Having our peers comment on our efforts makes all that we do worth while. A good weekend to everyone....

Howdy Dero....and all other luminaries.
Don't mean to bump this for my ego but it's important to me to respond to everyone who kindly comments.
So sorry I missed your response for so long.
Thanks for listening and commenting.
Hope all are doing well.

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.
