Cool production elements in that intro. Deeps subject matter treated with a smooth pop style. Man, I love that guitar solo. One BIAB is all you need to qualify to post.

Thank you, Mario! The vocal is quite raspy and goofy, ain't it? A real screwball. I wrote that song when I was bussing tables at the Black Angus restaurant in Boise. I don't know what inspired me to write it. I usually come up with a melody first and the melody feels like something so I run with it. John

Guess what, Mario. The unusual deep freeze rushing across middle America is part of the unusual weather patterns occurring because of global warming. In California, the most devastating fires were in the southern part of the state from late October through November. Now the pattern includes more months and has moved to northern California, Oregon, and British Columbia. A year ago, two fires swept through Pacific Palisades and Altadena into the flat areas which really surprised me. Lora and I left Phoenix in 2024 after going through the hottest summer on record. The electrical grid is outdated, the water table is depleting rapidly, and they still won't listen to the warnings from scientists. Also, the extreme conservative politics and anger drove us out, too. I wrote "If the World Ends" in 2023. Scott Jordan and I released two versions of it. Neither did well on Broadjam's charts. They're not ready for a message like that. Thank you for listening, liking and understanding it, Mario. John

It must be really tough for notation programs when programs like BiaB/RB, Fender Studio Pro 8, other DAWs, all have notation. Also the free MuseScore. Or phones and tablets that can show notation, thus eliminating printed scores. I would think that the demand for a full blown notation program would be limited to a small minority, like those printing scores for orchestras and big bands. Just my two cents.

Good song, I liked the low-voiced chorus, very catchy. A few prosody issues but the topic is bound to cause that. Nice job, overall!

Cool song, liked the doot doots and the ending. Singing strong as usual, mix and master is nonpareil. I recently purchased some new audio gear and your song really sounds terrific through it. Timber and remember was my favorite rhyme. You're really on a streak of hits, way to go!

Natural selection... If I were a betting man, I'd bet that most of the music software providers we know and love today will be either gone or unrecognizable in three years. Maybe less. Would LOVE to be wrong.

WOW, Paul, this is superb. Love, love, LOVE the vocal arrangement. Some real skillful maneuvering going on there. Your lead vocals really shine, too. Especially like your finely crafted vocal breaks and inflections. The band is nice, but mainly because they propel the song without getting in the way. "What do you think of THAT?" Well, I think it's pretty dang cool.

Lee, super job retooling this one with BiaB. Love the "Without a word of a lie" lines sung in the lower register. A very cool and original sound. Nice vocals overall, too. Especially like it when the harmony comes in high with the "time" line. The band really crackles as well. A really well-crafted tune you have here!

Doyle Grisham of the Jimmy Buffet Coral Reef Band? Jenee Fleenor - 5 time CMA musician of the year. I'd be pleased too:) Way to go!! Hi Scott, thanks. I've known Doyle for a long time. Great picker and a great mixer! He did dobro and steel on several songs on my "Got Me" CD a few years back. Jenee tracked fiddle on several songs for "The Brothers Glaser's CD, "Five Penny Nickel" released in 2012. Also a great musician. Peter. You managed that wordy mouthful nicely on time. Well done on the mix too. Vic Hi Vic. Thanks, (if this was for me). I had a great time writing and singing this one. And thanks to my brothers for the harmonies and BG vox.

Any ideas about methods to find a theme or lyrics that suits some music? I realise this is a ‘How long is a piece of string?’ type of question, but looking for any ideas of approaches that might help me crack open this nut. An approach that won't help you now, but will in the future: Whenever I hear, read, see, or experience something interesting or unusual, I write it down. Maybe something I watch on TV or YouTube. Or in the news. Or (very often) in real life. Or hear in conversations between people in the bar while I'm drinking my latte. Often a single phrase. A line in a song that sparks my imagination. The possibilities are endless. I take notes on everything. On a piece of paper. Or record it with my cell phone. When I don't have any ideas about what to write, I go through my notes. I always find something that appeals to me at that moment and in my current mood.

Any one notice a trend going on around here? After the passing of our founder, Dr. Wulf-Dieter Lugert, we took a close look at FORTE — where it stands today, and where it realistically could go in the future. We decided not to continue it. Not because FORTE doesn’t work. It does. Fully. Reliably. As it always has. But because continuing it would mean half-measures. And that’s not something we believe in.

It's all there ... excellent write, vocals and arrangement. Great band with your folks and the BiaB session guys. And the mix? It pops! Open/airy with perfect dynamics. The soundstage on our monitors is great. Like the third row middle seat in a small club with great acoustics. But mainly it was FUN! Well done y'all, J&B Hi Janice & Bud. Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it. I had fun doing it! Nice song, lots of fun there. Fun fact, Jeff Taylor is currently in a band with someone I know Thanks much, Dave! If you run into Jeff, tell him thanks for a great track!

John, this is freak-en hilarious! My foot was tapping, my head was bobbing, and my lips were smiling throughout this song. I didn't care for the vocal but the lyrics more than made up for it. A fantastic song.
