PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase For a Happy Thanksgiving Have a PB&J

P, B & J on Soundcloud
P, B & J on YouTube

This song may sound like an advertisement, and I suppose it is, although this music hardly fits the great tunes you'll hear if you take my advice. It was written quite a while ago, but it didn't come out as I hoped.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated here in the US, and I wanted a song to say thanks to all you creative folks on this Showcase. It occurred to me the other day that most of the music I listen to these days is right here. Even in the car I'll tune into many of you on the streaming services (At least when our granddaughter is not controlling the sounds with Tay-Tay). So thanks for all of your encouraging and helpful comments.

P, B & J

When you're on the Internet just soaking up some sounds
just point your browser to this lovely music site I found.
You'll be swept away from all your worries and your cares.
There's good in life so let us not despair.
When things go wrong you'll say, "P, B & J. Give me a song, P, B & J.”

Starting out in bluegrass fields they swiftly branched right out
to fields of blues and greens and things and biking all about.
They brought in Floyd to fill a void, and, man, did he arrive.
Go check them out. Their music's so alive.
To brighten up your day: P, B & J. "Give me a song, P, B & J."

Peter came aboard and once again they soared, singing songs and playing their own way.
Music old and new, something bold or blue, it will all brighten up your day.

Tommy Adams, Scott Collingwood, and Ray C. all join in.
There's gonna be good music there, so let the fun begin.
All in all they have a ball recording what they hear,
and that you'll see is music to your ear.
When things go wrong you'll say, "P, B & J. Give me a song, P, B & J.”
Life will be okay with P, B & J. So go out and play P, B & J.

Hi Marty,

This very funny song indeed sounded like an advertisement or commercial. Did they pay you well?
But what a good idea to make a song this way. Very creative! How did you come to that.
Not in a 100 years will I come to such an idea.
Now I understand why our conversations sometimes have breaks that can last weeks...

More seriously: Good song, brightly mixed with the kind of lyrics only you can write (and sing) in a special way.
But I missed Dave. The fiddle is doing fine here! I told you once; love the strings more...

First Prize for Creativity, Marty!
(at least in the Netherlands)

Hans

Clever, happy stuff Marty.
Here's hoping for royalties,

Vic

Marty, what a great tribute to some of the Showcase Forum superstars.
Everything was perfect.
Loved it!

Ha. That made my wife smile.

Peter

You definitely worked some magic with the lyrics, this is really uplifting.

Top vocal and mix added the final polish to this creation.

Hey Marty,

Loved it! A very nice tribute to a finer group of folks. Cleverly written and a joy to the ears. Cool!!!

Take care,

Alan

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marty,

The first time, I listened on SoundCloud. I just went back and watched the video a couple of minutes ago - so dang cool! That must have taken more than a few minutes. Very nicely done!

Alan

Marty,

A very cool song and cool video!

Bob

This is a very catchy song. the Fiddle solo is a success. It's well done.
Laurent

Marty, what a great idea for a song. We all love this software and what it has done to enrich our lives. Thanks for reminding us and what a wonderful way to celebrate Thanksgiving! Tom

Lovely tribute for very good music and excellent artists. Fun, upbeat and touching. Nice arrangement, mix and vocals. BIAB showcase music is certainly much more creative and interesting than 95% of the hit list music.

I would like to add one line: "nothing in life feels wrong when Marty, Marty, Marty sings me a song"

Janne

Nice tribute see song Marty.

Have you ever thought about becoming a professional song plugger?



I would like to know your rates if you think you can get me some more listens

We are both humbled by your appreciation of our music and your willingness to also be one of those collaborators you mentioned (and forgot to include!) PG Music is the reason for our return to making music and their magical software and this forum have enabled us to gain appreciation of many genres and develop friendships with good people worldwide who happen to also be excellent musicians.

Thank you, Marty!

Janice and Bud

Thanks, Hans. All y'all were the inspiration, and I think you are dissing your fellow Netherlanders.

Thanks, Vic. The only royalties I'll ever see will be on TV when when of 'em gets married.

Thanks, Mario. And you are one of them for sure. Heck, I could write a whole song just about your tunes.

Ah, Thanks, Peter. You make me smile pretty much every day. I listen to you guys alot, and you are surely one of the best things about that experience.

Thanks so much, Audio Track. So glad you liked it.

HAHAHA!

OH What Fun It Is

Blue Attitude might turn to Bad Attitude if you don't follow this with their story.....

A clever write. An excellent Mix.
What a video!

Creative.

fj

That is one banging song, and a superb vocal performance! So many things here that I imagine are hard to do, but they all sound effortless, musical and, above all, FUN to sing along to. I'm going to be humming this one all night for sure...

Ha ha, what a nice idea.
And with a very catchy sound, I must say!

Rob

Thank you, Alan, and so glad I found you among that fine group.

Thanks, James. Glad to have a bunch of your songs in my favs rotation.

Thanks again, Alan. It was actually much easier and much more enjoyable than trying to curate appropriate clips from the royalty free places.

Thank you, Bob!!

Thank you very kindly, Laurent.

Thank you, Tommy.
