Sensational on so many levels, Ron. Some early R.W. Davis lyrics revealed for the first time in 45 years. What a wonderful write, especially considering how long ago written. Yeah, those constant toms are somewhat distracting. I'd like to hear this one with another drummer. i really like your use of those 3 guitars --very dynamic. Your braying, as you call it, is perfect, too.

Like a Samurai making his katana, you put your heart and soul into fashioning your mandolin. Your soul now comes out in its sound. Glad you saved some of that boundless soul for the guitar ending. Cool band, too.

Marty, AWESOME! This is some rocking blues! I love the way Dave's guitar kicks this off hard. One of your best vocals - ever! Love the grit and drive. Loved it all! Bob Thanks, Bob. You can hear why i hoped Dave would play on this remake. i'll also give him credit for the inspiration for improved singing, if so percieved. Well done on this blues song with its delightful lyrics. You and Dave make a great team. Laurent Thanks, Laurent. On my songs Dave gets the track with my bass already in it. It always amazes me how he adds stuff like we reheared it or something. Wow, your best lyrics, ever, IMHO! And sung so well. Dave's guitar boosted the musicianship, as always. Just a terrific package. Well done! Thanks, Bob. These lyrics are older than BiaB now that i think of it. Blues with a sense of humor! Good vocal. Good mix. Dave doing the thing he does best. Enjoyed. fj Thanks, Floyd. I see you have another one posted. Heading there next hoping it's another for your musical.

Hello PG Team, First of all: When I start Band-in-a-Box from the external SSD, the version “bb2026_mac_update_build1003” appears to work perfectly, as far as I can tell so far. Because I sometimes find it easier to open saved files from the internal hard drive, I also installed the main programs on the internal hard drive and set the external SSD as the location for RealTracks and RealDrums. However, when I go to Styles and run “Rebuild,” the RealTracks list is empty, except for a handful of organs. This means that, in a song, I would not be able to add an additional track or replace an existing one. Is there a solution for this? What I also find very disappointing, by the way: I have purchased every upgrade to the Audiophile version for almost 20 years. The latest upgrade to the 2026 version seems to be a “light” version that deletes previously purchased data. For example, all of my MIDI SuperTracks had disappeared. I was able to download and install them from my account under the 2025 version, but what else was deleted? With such a large number of files, it is almost impossible for me to keep track of everything. In 2025, I purchased the Audiophile version online, and it seems to me to be identical to the hardware version. So why is the online version a “light” version that deletes previously purchased data? Regards Nomi

Bob, it seems you keep getting better and better! Just a wonderful song, great vocals from you and Joliz, and I love the sound of that Martin. Your song brought back many memories of listening to music late at night in the mid 60s on my transistor radio when I was supposed to be sleeping, there was only one AM station that played POP music where I lived at the time, and it was anything that was popular; you would hear Dylan followed by the Four Tops, then the Beatles, then the Stones, etc. And then a little later Hendrix and Cream. No thought about genre, it was just great music. Man! Good times

You don't sound out of your comfort zone to me one bit, Vic, this is excellent! You are such a great lyricist, one of the best here in my book. Track sounds great, good choice of instruments and good mix. And your vocal sounds great too (I'm hearing the new mix). One of your best songs I think, loved it!

Dave, You, Chris and Marty have done it again. This is outstanding. Great song writing, funky bass line, excellent guitar tracks, excellent vocals, and all wrapped up in a first-class production. In addition, that groove is superb! Another brilliant remix. I really enjoyed listening and watching. --Noel I appreciate all of that, Noel, thanks!

Sorry, Andrew. I forgot to list the instrument used on that track. The instrument for the bass solo (playing melody line from BiaB) is from a plugin of Komplete Kontrol called Reggae Bass. I compressed it strongly to get it heard.

Don’t see that you mentioned what DAW you use. For Logic Pro, the Mastering Assistant does a pretty knock out job itself. Certainly pro level. If you have a Mac it’s definitely worth the price of admission.

We are late to the party and great accolades have been posted. Accolades that we 100% agree with. Enjoyed the backstory. We are always fascinated by the time and creativity you put in your productions. Simply epic. We can see a huge stadium crowd transfixed. We cranked it up as loud as Bud's ears will allow. And the soundstage on our monitors was remarkable. Crystal clear with really impressive dynamics - not an easy combo to achieve. Well done! J&B

Very imaginative, Hans. Reminds me of something Kate Bush would have done. Those backing vocals really add something to it. Well done. Vic
