John, Thanks for doing this. When things don't work in expected manner I usually think it is my fault - one of the hazards of being what is politely known as 'elderly'!

Floyd, Amazing, wow, fabulous and every other complimentary word I can throw at it! Your catalog of hit worthy material constantly floors me! You released this shortly before I joined this forum, so I don't recall hearing it. You are a constant inspiration to me to keep on plugging away and hoping to come up with something that inspires others in the same way! This is a smokin hot tune that hits all the marks and has been masterfully arranged and produced! Keep on rockin' TB That's really nice of you to say, Torrey... thanks a bunch.... Well Floyd, I haven't been on the forum in awhile. I actually just stopped by to respond to a message. When I noticed you uploaded a song, I thought, "Ok, why not listen?" And of course, it's awesome. Your voice is great. That piano jam is something else. And the whole story...original as heck. It belongs on the C&W charts. Congratulations! Thanks, Beth. You haven't been around much lately... time to hear another from you!...

Hi Janice and Bud and Peter, Finally, I got to listen to your song! And what have I missed in the meantime? This beautiful song, a wonderful voice, and a beautiful/unique solo. First, the singing, although always beautiful, is perhaps even more beautiful now! Take that line: "A barn bell could be heard a mile off" and listen to how you sing it. Especially the last words; wow, beautiful craftsmanship (if you can say that)! And what Peter did with his guitar strings was pure magic. At the beginning, in between, and so on. Or maybe Bud created that magical sound with his magical mixing skills? No, seriously, I was immediately hooked the moment you started singing, Janice. And I also learned something: "They're hand-hewn beams." I didn't know what that meant, so Google told me it's something like Janice's craftsmanship, but for wood. Hans Hans, thank you for your time to listen and write such a thoughtful review. Your comments about the vocals, the guitar, the write and mix are all greatly appreciated. Oh, and we are glad google helped out with the hand hewn beams! J&B

I have my BB installation on a 1TB SSD which is separate from my boot drive. My BB installation alone is 250 GB. Also, when you get all done, I would suggest that you pick up a seperate external USB powered SSD drive to be used as a BACKUP. You can copy everything to it and then detach it so it is available to restore your BB songs in case your computer or computer's SSD crashes and dies. It DOES happen and it isn't any fun to lose everything.

Thanks Andrew. Specially, because you got my idea of bringing this jazzy classic from 1920s to modern time with a groove R&B backing and rock guitar solos at the end. I listened those many fabulous versions of great singers from Frank Sinatra to Adam Lambert and my favourite Diana Krall. Still I bravely sang my own with this weak voice of an old man, since AI vocals are missing the human rendition, connection to the message and feeling of the song. Thanks for understanding that as well.

Noel, I absolutely loved that. What a great song and production. Hey John! It's good to see you. Thanks for having a listen I really appreciate it. The production of a song always causes me a good deal of grief and it's heartening to read your comment. Thanks for that! --Noel

Hi BD. Once again, you have cleared the "this is brilliant" bar with plenty of room to spare. I absolutely LOVE what you've done. The arrangement, the production, the vocals are stunning. You had me completely mesmerised. What really appealed to me was that this sometimes sounded distinctly 3/4 and other times it sounded like a slow 6/8 (especially when the snare drum was on the first beat of alternating bars). I thoroughly enjoyed this audio/visual journey. --Noel

I had this catchy Motown/disco styled melody since 1993. I was in Denver when a lesbian colleague told me about how her lover treated her and she decided to leave. I thought it would make a good story line for a song but I struggled with the words. I didn't like what I came up with so last year Robert Quigley went through line by line and came up with a terrific set of lyrics. He just rattled them off! I had trouble trying to keep up with copying and pasting what he was typing on WhatsApp! Marilyn Simone, who studied at Berklee, did the vocals. https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/imnotcomingback-master_2026feb.mp3 Style is _SCHLGR3.STY (Funky Schlager) RealTracks in style: 1434:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkPoppy Ev16 110 RealTracks in style: 1408:Piano, SynthLayer, Rhythm Soul70sHeld Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 1400:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Soul70sBrightSteady Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 2406:Synth, Rhythm JazzFunkPad Ev 110 RealDrums in style:Disco^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:16ths Style is _FNKDNC2.STY (Funk Dance w/ Octave Bass) RealTracks in style: 2271:Bass, Synth, DiscoOctaves Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1941:Synth, Rhythm, EuroDance ChorusHousePiano Ev16 120 RealTracks in style: ~1435:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkGroovinChords Ev16 110 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\Trance - kit3beat135b ev16 tempo.wav I'M NOT COMING BACK Words: Robert Quigley, Music: John Walradt I’m not coming back I’m not coming back to you I’m not coming back What did you think I’d do?

Thanks so much. I'm going to check that out soon. I was using the Tonalic one month for a dollar and it was seamless with the project. But then the project would not open and the crash dump said the culprit was Tonalic. So I uninstalled Tonalic and then re-installed and it still would not open the project. Uninstalled again and got rid of the Tonalic instances in the project. I have another song with 4 instances of Tonalic and it opens fine. For now anyway.
