Janice read the lyrics first and loved it, especially “I think it’s my heartbeat or maybe it’s hers.” We much like the arrangement with the ooh’s arriving near the end. That is some nice and tight harmony The vibe reminds us of some of the 60’s bands … not psychedelic, not bubblegum not Brit invasion just good ole rock. Your session guys did the great write and fine vocals justice. It’s not necessary to parse it out … we just kicked back and enjoyed the song! Very well done, J&B
I keep hitting the record button instead of stop on the new 2026 interface. Then to two boxes come up and I have to close them down each time. I wish the record button was separated from the stop button and maybe it should be RED? It's probably just me. Hmm.
Whoah now, Somebody's been playing with a voodoo chile. I wouldn't be messing with that voodoo chicken either down there in the swamps of Georgia if I were you. Dem blues can get a little too spooky around midnight for my taste when the man in Black comes to tell you what time it is. It'll be time to go to hell time if you playin' the wrong kind of voodoo, children, and so you better take it easy. It's Sunday and I think y'all need to be going to church instead of messing all up in the devil's music. No but really this is some good blues and I really enjoyed it!
Hi, Chay. You're instrumentals always sound so effortless despite the sometimes torturous journey you describe. Nice build and pacing throughout. The tradeoffs between soloists are really nicely done. Super mix, too. The trick of bumping tempo up a bit to add energy is one I use a lot. Sorry about the tech issues. Still a good trick.
Nice one, Rob! GREAT vocals! Very nuanced with a cool, gentle vibrato in all the right places. SUPER harp work, too. That's always so tastefully done, and always a treat. Very cool BiaB band and arrangement. Really like the version of the changes you're using here. Lots of delicious harmonic tapestry to work with. LOVE this sound.
Wowzer! Spectacular jam, Mario! Great job keeping the musical narrative ALIVE and FUN for the listener. This is all very tight and a delightful way to start the day. Be careful shoveling snow though! There comes a time when younger hearts and backs are better suited to that stuff. Know that's true for me anyway.
This is ridiculous. This used to work brilliantly. Why has this been broken in the new version? Here is the resulting video:
Is the problem just that "make notation video thing?". I had specifically fixed that animated cursor in the video in the very recent past with an update of the VLT player. Just an idea.
Excellent song, Herb, really well written, arranged, and mixed, and I've always enjoyed your vocals. I miss hearing you on the lead guitar, but the BIAB dude did a good job for you Good one, enjoyed.
Hi Dave and Chris, That is such a great funky groove, you had me hooked with the tension right from the outset. And your lead guitar is phenomenal. The production quality is very clear everything in the right place and at the right level. Some quality sassy vocals as well, with all the other elements makes this song a winner. Definitely worthy of half a dozen listens…going back for more. Loved it, kind regards.
Appreciate all of that, Lee, thanks very much!

Chris and I were really prolific when we first started working together, she had all these lyric ideas looking for music and I had all these music ideas looking for lyrics. By the time we had done Blue Line back in 2018 we probably had close to 50 songs done. There are a few more from back then I'm going to redo before getting back to new material. Thanks for the support over the years, Bob, very much appreciated!
Your chord progressions are wonderful, especially in the third and fourth measures right at the beginning which drew me right into the tune. I very much like the ethereal feeling mixed with rock that you put into it. John
Hey, Marty! It's always wonderful to see you here. I'm looking forward to hearing your remix of "Rainin'." Anyway...rain. Weird, huh? Yep, I don't know what it is about "rain" songs! In 2022, I released what I consider to be my most beautiful song, "Raindrop Soul." At the same time, two other songs were released, "Raindrops" and "Between the Raindrops." It's as if the three of us got together and said, "Let's all write a song with Raindrop in the title and release them!" If you have an inclination to further get drenched, "Raindrop Soul" is at https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/raindropsoul.mp3 Yep, Liv has a beautiful voice. She's from England. I used Liliia Kysil, who is from Kiev, Ukraine, on "Raindrop Soul." She has a very lovely voice. John
I awoke from a dream with this melody. I dreamt that I was listening to a new song by the Eagles called "Got a Way." When I awoke, I realized I had come up with the melody. I immediately got up, got my guitar and wrote down the notes and chords. Then came the hard part...coming up with the words! I got Clay Collins who is on FiveRR to sing the vocals. When I released it on Broadjam, it soared right up to #5 Earth following my #1 song, "Stay Here Now." Oh, I've been asked where do find a grove of trees in the desert? Riparian. Riparian groves are found in the desert in canyons. https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/shehasaway-master24_nov25.mp3 Style is _INSPIRE.STY (Inspire Cheery Indie Pop) RealTracks in style: 1253:Bass, Electric, PopShiningHeld Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1262:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopShiningHeld Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 410:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Country Cowboy Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 634:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 (B:8ths) Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_b drums ev16.wav RealDrums in style:MetalSlowBigTomGroove: a: Toms, Snare b: Busy Big Toms, Snare SHE HAS A WAY Words and music: John Walradt She has a way And I don’t know what to say She has a way Got me singin’ feelin’ thinkin’ dreamin’ I’m in love and I’m believin’ Everything is going to be okay I don’t know how she does it but You know, you know, you know She has a way.

Probably my favorite. Just to note..... I have my good earbuds in and when those wind chimes started in the beginning, my dog Mesha, who was laying halfway across the room raised her head, perked up her ears and looked at me as if saying what is that?
Thanx Herb. Great looking Dogs. They are a little larger than our Two Shih-Zus!
We enjoyed reading the cool narrative of the creation. “Don't raise me up so tall Cause I would have to fall” That is really standout. Bella sounds awesome as always. You and the BiaB session guys work very well together. Great arrangement, mix and we enjoyed the different take on the love song. We played a lot of waltz time during our bluegrass gigging days … always nice to hear one here. Well done! J&B
Thanks Janice, thanks Bud I'm also a big fan of 3/4 (or, as Noel correctly pointed out, 6/8) and hope that BG will add more RealTracks for it in the future.
