Yeah, I know, every noteworthy songwriter should write a country song about whiskey, unfortunately mine is still under construction, although I have already the title  Congratulations for your successful entry in that category! Really funny, punchlines well timed and hilarious, what's the point  And the video made me burst into laughter. A classic song, hopefully one of those that you and your humor will be remembered for for millennia 3/4 works perfectly, the instrument selection is very pleasant and nothing bad to say about vocals and bass either. Keep laughing and keep making us laugh  Janne PS. Your new album is great!

Marty,
Whiskey is wonderful, isn't it?
I also love whiskey.
On a daily basis, I drink Scotches such as Old Parr, Ballentine's, Dewa'rs, Bell's, Teacher's, Johnnie Walker and etc.
On special occasions, I have single malts such as Talisker and etc.
Of course, I also love bourbons like Jack Daniel's, I.W. Harper, Wild Turky, Maker's Mark, and etc.
Oops, I almost forgot to comment on the music.
Both the song and the video are full of love for whisky.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.

Marty, first of all great vocal. A fun write that carries a message with it. You are full of surprises. Piano player and country singer. Who would have thunk. I believe this may be among your best songs. Very well done and thoroughly enjoyed, Tom Thanks, Tom. Whiskey is a good country theme, and the 3-quarter time helped with the wobble. Honky Tonk Piano!!!! Yes!!!
I laughed all the way through. (was I supposed to?)
A horseshoe named Lucky. HA
Much enjoyed.
fj Yes, floyd, that was the best reaction. Lucky sends her love. Marty, This is great. Your stuff is so funny man!! Thanks, David, I also enjoy your sense of humor, and you have the best delivery. Great song, I did enjoy the story line of it, especially switching to Ice tea. Thanks, Ronnie. A cold-tea totaller lives longer.

Hi Marty,
I find this a very interesting angle for a song!
And then your performance in the video was great!
I wouldn't dare to mention that 'W' word again.
Well actually I'm no fan of that stuff. I prefer the 'R' word as you know
(R means rum, for all outsiders...).
Have I said it's a lovely melody with good lyrics and your humor?
Hans

I'm often either stuck or lost for words on this forum, but this is just yet another really good song, lyrically and musically. The video is great, too, and I love your talkie bit! That works a treat.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Well whiskey's not my thing but good music sure is...you never disappoint my friend...your tracks are always flawless (cause I know the time and effort you put into them)...this is no exception...I loved the style you used here...the narration was cool (great radio voice)...your writing is as clever as usual and the video is classic...I'll drink (iced tea) to that! Hey, don't be asking me for keyboard parts when you can play like that! Thanks, Dan. Yeah, whiskey and I never got along either. I pretty much do the Jesus thing every day. Start out with water, then change it to wine at night. Ha! A couple octaves doesn't make me a piano player. If I had chops like yours, I'd probably still ask cuz you got such good taste. Strings, too!

Keep laughing and keep making us laugh Janne PS. Your new album is great! Thanks, Janne! Man, I can't wait to hear yours about whiskey. HEY! You are one of my 27 followers? Thanks so much for that, m'man. In the car I pretty much only listen to the folks from this forum. I've looked for you in the past without success. If you are somewhere (other than Soundcloud), please let me know. Marty,

Shigeki Adachi Thanks, Shigeki. You remind me of a friend I wrote with and played in bands with for 6 decades. Man, he loved his Glenfiddich single malt. I don't kow whiskey, but in one song I needed an expensive drink that rhymed with house, and found Famous Grouse. Ever try it?

Marty,
Famous Grouse, it's nostalgic for me.
When I was in my late 20s, the house whiskey at the bar I frequented was Famous Grouse, so I drank it often.
I still drink it sometimes.
It is a Scotch with a very unique flavor compared to Ballantine's and Dewar's.
So I drink Ballantine's and Dewar's on a daily basis.
Glenfiddich is also my favorite Scotch.
And whiskey is the source of my music production.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Well, laughter is the best medicine, isn’t it?! The audio and video are great, Marty, and your country persona is a delight. The recitation was perfect and we enjoyed your cameo in the vid. Oh, and the yawning seal really was a scene stealer. 😊
The baritone and resonator guitars with your honky tonk piano fit well. Excellent bass (of course) and your country vocals are a hit.
We do enjoy a good bourbon but stick to one drink instead of a bottle. 😆
The ending was a fun surprise.
Cool!

Excellent tune Marty. I was in the mood for a waltz. Vocal was super. Loved the backtrack and lyric. Well done. Dobrp was a nice add

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
