I shut my computer fully down when I'm not using it mostly because, I think to myself, I know what it's like to feel like you are sleeping very shallowly and wake up feeling like you didn't actually sleep. I know computers and people are different but I like to give my computer a break. I'm fortunate that my computer reboots and is functional in about a second. I don't have to really wait for it to power on. Thankfully lightning storms aren't really something we see where we are. Since I moved here 15 or so years ago I think I have seen lightning once or twice. Still, you can never be too careful.

Mario, that is such a sensitive and considerate message. Thank you for that. In the past couple years my music has changed significantly. Almost exclusively I am now singing the songs of my life. These fall into the category of "covers", whereby I attempt to reproduce the original material as closely as possible. Since the first of the year, I have been taking singing lessons to find my mixed voice. YouTube and SoundCloud are, for the most part, relaxed about hosting these covers. However, I have had ~5% of my offers rejected by their bots. Some of the original artist are very restrictive - this includes Van Morrison.   I will keep my SoundCloud PRO account so my forum friends can always check out the link in my Signature to see when new songs are posted. For those songs which can't be hosted by the online accounts I will provide an inconspicuous link to my Google Drive. Let me try this to see how it works. Thanks again for you message. Dan

Good one, Ron. Or is that a random name AI chose to call you?

I asked my favorite AI engine and was provided the following... "While the reason for the absence of a User Showcase Award for 2025 is unknown, the likely causes include: 1. The User Showcase forum really stunk it up in 2025. Not enough AI. 2. Users purchased Insufficient licenses for BiaB 2026, so resources are constrained. Those that did purchase BiaB 2026 whined about it. 3. Dr. G moved to the Azores and lost interest in the forum. He hasn't posted in 2026. He only posted five times in 2025. His prior years posts were always many dozens, sometimes over a hundred, per year." You can't make this stuff up. Well... Maybe you can.

That's a fantastic opening line! Snappy but laid back tune. Pleasant instrumentation. I enjoyed your lead guitar. Very cool groove Andrew. Excellent vocal and lyric. Guitar was very cool as well. Thanks Scott and Scott! I think I owe a lot to the bass and drums in this RealStyle - while I already had the first couple of lines in lyric and music, the Style gave me a lot of inspiration and impetus. I tried several lead guitar passages, but I either couldn’t play them fluently enough, or they were over complicated for the song, so I settled for something simpler within my playing range. Thank you for listening and commenting! Andrew

Hey Tunemonger, Great tune man! Love the production. As for the Suno voice, hmmmmmm. I think I have heard YOU singer better than that. But, your call! Happy Easter. Dave, thanks so much for the vote of confidence re my vocals but if you think my meager singing is better than an authentic Chicago blues vocal I gotta wonder what you're drinking. Again, I appreciate the boost, but really...

The Beach Boys meet Buddy Holly. Not sure we can explain that ... but Janice felt it. Great vocals and we much liked the bgv's Leslie effect. You never disappoint with the mix and this is no exception. We use Kali monitors with an 8" woofer and this tune rocked! Cool lyric to the max - love the chorus "No ufo’s” We're long time fans of "connect your own dots" lyrics and this is a fine one. A hit! J&B J&B, THANK YOU as always for the very sweet review. If Janice felt it, that's all I need to hear. Almost put a cheerleader type line in there: N! O! U! F! Os! That might have been too much.

Cool slow burn, Bob. Super vocals by you and Joliz. Love the way the narrative evolves. LOVE your lead guitar work, too. Crisp mix. Nice arrangements that sustains interest without breaking the hypnotic spell. The unresolved ending is a nice bookend to the opening guitar part. "...You always come looking." Ha!

Hey AurealiusB! This song has a good length - when I react with “what? It’s over already?” usually causes me to play it again. Good harmony vocal! Andrew

Hi Mario! I know what Style you used for this one - birthday style! What a relaxing, contemplative piece. I could picture myself leaning back in a chair after consuming a generous slice of birthday cake, crumbs down my jumper, and a glass of Bailey’s Irish Cream. Loved it. Andrew

Thanks so much B.D.! I felt this BIAB style (band) really worked with my vocals, and like you, I thought the piano was key in this song. Bass helped too. Ya gotta love BIAB!

Great song! Excellent choice of words! (We Europeans live lightheartedly with swear words; the French language is full of them, for example, not to mention some German dialects.) Thank you, Opur ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Yeah, you're right, here in Europeland, we're a bit more relaxed about swear words. Banning a word has never worked anyway.
