Nicely done tune Hans... I did like that guitar solo... BTW... You're "awful music on the radio" reminded me of the MRI I had to have on my leg... The tech asked me what kind of music I wanted while in their clanging MRI contraption... Whoops... I mentioned country... Forgetting that country music has dramatically changed in recent years... Fortunately I couldn'r hear the country rap music because of their clanging MRI monstrosity  !

Jim, this reminds me of something I heard way back in the 80s, when Bill Maher told Jay Leno on the Tonight Shos that he had developped a new musical fusion style, combining Country and Rap.
And he had named that style, too: Crap LOL
Greetings,
Stefan

I don't make Bluessongs so often
Dear Hans... So, you say you don't make blues songs so often??? Well, based on how gutsy your vocal was, and the way it amplified the bluesy sound of the Real Style you chose, I don't believe it's necessary for you to do blues songs often, because you did this one so well that its impact will last, and last, and last, for a lo-o-o-n-g time !!! The way you sang your lyrics for Not Today, Blues (that's a pretty hip title, by the way), surprised the hell out of me. Passion is a fashion you wear very, very well. In fact, I came to that conclusion upon hearing the way you delivered the line, "If you still have these feelings for me". I literally sat up in my chair and said, not aloud, but inwardly: "DAMN!" I mean, sir, that the emotion in your voice came through as authentic and powerful, and it simply caught me off-guard. Your lyrics are, to my ears, as electric and as immediate as the romantic crisis they describe. I could imagine you wrote them while you were actually engrossed in that 'real life' situation. Also, I couldn't help but be aware of how you so accurately phrased the words as you sang them. I mean, you sounded like a seasoned 'bluesman', Hans, the kind I would pay to see/hear at a blues club. The feel, the style, it was 'just right' !!! So, don't worry about having to produce any more blues songs for a while, because this one's got staying power . LOREN

Hi Jim, David, Stefan, Greg, Torrey and Loren Thanks for your replies and nice comments (except for Stefan, you replied on Jim...). Jim, you mentioned having the same sort of experience when dealing with music that teases your brain for a long time. You understand perfectly why I had to make a bluessong! And you were suffering even more than I did! David, thanks for the compliment. If it's alright, than it's good, ain't that so? Stefan, I have nothing to say on your comment, beside you mentioning Bill Maher  . Like his shows! Torrey, I missed you for some time. Glad got you back, at least for this song! Thanks for what you said about the song, and also proud to achieved the status of being on your list of favorites (the song I mean). Loren, what a nice comment you wrote. I almost saw you jumping out of your chair when the chorus came, spilling whiskey on your trousers, shouting "Damn!" and suddenly liked the song for all that! When writing this comment to you all, I noticed the song lost it's 'staying' power' on BB... But I've mentioned your comment to my wife and she thinks you're a very nice guy  Hans

Hans,
I think the intro is very strong—not much of a blues fan, but it definitely caught my ear and attention. Good vocal that sits well in the mix and works well with the music. Engaging beat and just love the guitar solo (seems like I’m hearing a lot of those today—BIAB is on a roll!). Very chill tune—liked it!
All my best,
Deej

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
