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. File:P, B&J.SGU Style is _BANK.STY (Bank 16ths-100 Banjo Bluegrass) RealTracks in style: ~~592:Bass, Acoustic Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~591:Banjo, Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 (Soloist) RealTracks in style: ~~599:Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~598:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~594:Fiddle, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 (Chops) RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioPop8ths^1-HiH,Ride RealDrums in Song: ShakerFolkEv16 RealDrums in Song: Country2Beat16^2-Sidestick,Ride RealDrums in style:Samba^1-a:Sticks , b:Ride Contemporary I just sang my respects. P, B & JWhen 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)

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!

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"

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

Vic Thanks, Vic. The only royalties I'll ever see will be on TV when when of 'em gets married.  Marty, what a great tribute to some of the Showcase Forum superstars.
Everything was perfect.
Loved it! Thanks, Mario. And you are one of them for sure. Heck, I could write a whole song just about your tunes. Ha. That made my wife smile. Peter 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. You definitely worked some magic with the lyrics, this is really uplifting.
Top vocal and mix added the final polish to this creation. Thanks so much, Audio Track. So glad you liked it.

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...
