Blue Monger on Soundcloud
Blue Monger on YouTube


The idea of the BLUE MONGER savior originally combined BLUE Attitude with TuneMONGER, with solos and fills from guitar and harmonica. TuneMonger says hello to all on the forum by the way. He is off on a wonderful adventure researching The Bard. The savior shows what great Blues players can do for a town –lift them up from the blues. It's the difference between The Blues and having the blues.

File:Blue Monger.SGU
Key=Em , Tempo 86, Length (m:s)=4:13
4 bar intro, 85 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 89. Repeat x1 chorus

Yeah, I just copied the listing in the SGU Memo, and this is what we get. I changed the Style drums in favor of MultiStems, so mixed all 16 tracks separately. Dave Bell of Blue Attitude, as mentioned, played the heck out of his Blue Guitar, and I played bass and sang.

Blue Monger

Everyone in town had their faces on the ground.
A once contagious cat had brought them blues.
They called at once for help with no reply.

The sheriff seemed annoyed, but the mayor was overjoyed.
He 911ed a friend about the news.
The assasin came at once to purify.

The Blue Monger came to town to spread the truth.
He said, "The way you're all feeling down is not The Blues. (They're more like this.) SOLO

The whole town came around with the Blue Monger's sound.
They bounced right back to life and all was good.
The mayor made sure to raise himself in praise while
the Blue Monger tipped his hat to the old town cat, and said
"When you're feeling blue, it's not The Blues."

Marty / Dave,

This is an awesome blues piece... Great vocal by Marty and fiery guitar by Dave!

Love the slow burn on this one. Excellent mix as well.

I love the topic, the talent of the non-BIAB musicianship (lead and bass), and your vocals - which fit this style like the proverbial glove. Although a set rhyming scheme isn't (IMO) necessary for this style, it does appear that you were attempting to do so between stanzas 1 and 2. I love the internal rhyme of the first line in each stanza (which are really line 1 and 2 in an 'AA' rhyming scheme) my ear didn't catch the 2nd and 3rd line rhymes between the two stanzas. This is most likely because of the space and time between the two. Regardless, as I prefaced this comment with, it isn't a necessary rhyme for this style but if you were going for it (which it appears you were) you may want to work on making each stanza an AABB rhyme.

Keep writing 'em and I'll keep on listening! Great stuff

Marty and Dave, this is one outstanding blues song.

Marty's bass sets the foundation and his vocal is spot on for this blues song.

Dave, your fingers must hurt and playing those burning leads, outstanding chops.

Loved it.

Marty & Dave ...

Quite a song! So cool!

The vocal is terrific, as is the arrangement.

Dave's guitar work is superlative! This is one of those songs that calls for firey chops and deep reverb on the guitar. And his playing on this is exactly that!

Nice work, gentlemen!

Thanks, Dewey. Very educational comment, and opinions are what I seek. When creativity flows I try to stay out of the way and not force rules upon it. That's why I enjoyed Hapkido --no rules. Your comment is very informative and helpful for delineating categories, which I also eschew. Yet, I am trying to improve and appreciate your help. Thanks again.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Marty,

Like Ray I heard this song too before it was posted on this forum. It was you sending it directly to me ;-)
And I wrote I loved the song very much. I had to look up what a Monger is, as I know now it is some kind of farmer.
We have a lot of problems overhere with sad farmers or, as I know now Blue Mongers.
I didn't know they want to kill cats and I'm a bit sensitive when it comes to those furry animals as you know.
But it is not the Blues...

It is a really good/funny song with those lyrics and your very good vocals and -of course- an excellent play from Dave during the song.
The two of you turn every song into gold or gold or some other precious metal.

Great job!
Hans

Hi, Hans!! Monger was just using TuneMonger's handle combined with Dave's BlueAttitude --my original intent. There were no cats harmed in the making of this song, and no one wanted to kill anyone. It was a human cat who had the blues and got everyone to follow in his folly. Thanks, Hans. Please don't ask us to play metal.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks, Floyd! You're right, The Blues usually only tells of things like It's quarter to 3, or sizing up match boxes to see if all his belongings will fit. Glad you like it.

Thanks, Dan. So glad you're NOT a blues expert, or you'd be telling me how unlike The Blues this one is. Seems you are a big fan of one of your biggest fans.

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.
