Early MigrationAs most of you know, my lovely wife (Di) passed away early Tuesday morning this week. Her nickname on several sites was "Songbird". And, indeed, that's exactly what she was. She loved to sit at the window and watch the birds, particularly during their spring and autumn migration. Due to the early warming spring, their migration was a week or so early this year. Her favorite bird was the Hummingbird. I remodeled one of our bedrooms for her. It has a large double window. We live about a quarter mile from the Tennessee River. The migration was heavy this year. She got to see most of it. One day, a Baltimore Oriole and an Eastern Bluebird sat on her windowsill about an hour apart. They're not very common in this part of the country. That was quite a treat. I wrote this song for her just hours before she passed, knowing her time was close. Unfortunately, she never got to hear it. Perhaps she has since her passing. I hope some of you like it. I'm pretty sure she would have. Bye, Babe. Love ya. This one's for you. Sure do miss your angelic voice. You were the best.

I can't listen to your music just now as SoundCloud won't let me listen without logging-in to the site. I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks: sometimes it simply lets my play and listen as always previously, sometimes I can't listen to the main post, but I can listen to the same post in the bottom bar, sometimes it throws up a log-in window which I can switch off and then listen, but today there is no bottom bar to click 'play' on and when I remove the log-in window it just comes back up when I try to play the main post.
I didn't know Di had passed on - that her planetary (biological) body has expired - but it's my gnosis that her psyche and spirit continue, Besides having had numerous experiences of passed on dear ones - mother, father, 2 aunts, 2 past on beloved partners and old friends of both genders, some more than once, I virtually nightly get spooked by my resident ghost, though I prefer the term 'discarnate human psyche'. I feel for you as I've obviously been there myself, but what's for certain is that Love never dies. Dwell in that Love, Al.
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.

Hi, Alan.
I'm so sorry to hear about Di.
That's a very melancholic and pretty song you've put together.

Oh, man, I actually burst out crying when I read this, Alan. I sat for a long time thinking about you two before pushing play. When I finally listened I thought of you more. She was a remarkable woman with a very remarkable husband. SO beautiful. SO sorry to hear of your loss, my friend. You always made it clear that her beuatiful soul made you a much better human. What a wonderful tune for her.

Hi Alan. Firstly, my thoughts and prayers are with you on the passing of your dear Di - I have only been on this forum a short while, so haven’t been aware of this journey for you both.
I have read the comments from your forum friends here and there are so many good hearts reaching out to you with love and support. I do hope you feel that and in a small way, this place of forum friends through music is a support and comfort to you.
Warmest thoughts,
Andrew D

She was a remarkable woman with a very remarkable husband. SO beautiful. SO sorry to hear of your loss, my friend. You always made it clear that her beuatiful soul made you a much better human. What a wonderful tune for her. Marty, my friend ... Indeed, she was remarkable. I always told her: "How can a hot number like you be such a cool lady?" She always smiled and said: "Well, I guess you just have to be special." She was so right. She was beyond special. Several times I told her: "If I could talk to God face-to-face and ask for the perfect wife, He would have given me her." And He did. I was so blessed to have those years with her. She made me the man I'd always hoped to be." I sure do miss her. Alan

Warmest thoughts,
Andrew D Andrew, Yes, the folks on this forum are best of what the world has to offer. Her health had been declining for many years. The people on this board were there for us all along. Their support and encouragement have made such a huge difference. She was the complete definition of a true lady. Somehow, I'll manage and be okay It will take a while, though. Thanks for your kindness. Alan

Alan, sorry for your loss, and your prior losses—takes lots of strength, I’m sure. I sometime think I must be a hell of a weakling, since the good Lord has spared me from the types of burdens you’ve faced. You certainly have brightened my world with your creativity, delivered with lots of love. Thanks for sharing yourself on this forum.

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.
