Oh, yeah!! Welcome to the Showcase forum, Mark. Much welcome. Love the blues. Well sung and a good feel in the vocal. Yeah, I've used BiaB for years just making demos for others. Are you also playing any instruments in there? [Helpful hint: At the heading of the Showcase there are some suggestions for posting some info with your song. Follow it or not, I'm just happy to listen to the songs, but it's often helpful to know what went into the mix.] I like how your YT channel is progressing too. Very helpful for folks who just want to play along to good blues progressions.

Great use of BIAB, Mark! Your lyrics are simple (compliment, btw) and fits the blues really well. Great job.

Welcome to the Showcase, Mark. Blues always works for me, and you have a good voice for that genre. Arrangement and mix are also good, my only minor complain would be that it's more or less mono. But I can live with that

Thanks Marty, for the comments and suggestions here and on Youtube. I will remember to post song info - I agree it's interesting to know while you listen. I'm an electric bass player used to collaborating with guitar players on home recording, but lately it's hard to make that happen. So, this is all BB real tracks with me on vocals, recorded and mixed in reaper.
Thanks again man - I will check out your links
-Mark

Hi Mark ...
Welcome to the forum. That;'s a real nice song with which to introduce yourself. It's hard to beat a 12 Bar Blues!
I like the simple arrangements of most Blues songs. They're intent is to tell the story and not amaze the listener with a lot of frills. And you did that perfectly. The organ was really a strong choice - loved it!\
You have a really nice voice. Good job in all aspects. Thanks for a terrific listen! Will wait to hear more from you. I've been here a little over 11 years and don't regret a day of it.
Wishing you the best ...
Alan

Appreciate the comment, Dewey! There was a natural urge to ad lib words to fill some voids, but I tried to keep it bare. Thanks for the listen!  -Mark

Good blues, your voice reminds me a bit of David Bromberg. I was jamming with it, F is the best key for harp players IMHO and I will take any opportunity to play in it. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks man! I appreciate it.
I haven't listened in speakers, so you are probably right about sounding mono. Nothing panned past 25 and tbh I'm still getting a grip around creating 'depth' while mixing. Thanks for the heads up and the feedback.

Thx for the warm welcome Alan. This is my first attempt at BB original and I wasn't sure it was a good idea to post. I really appreciate your comments!

Welcome Mr Mark the Bassman.
There are one or two other bassists in here...Marty, Thumper etc.
This is a nice, uncluttered 12 bar with a very tidy and well suited vocal.
Good one.
Lots of collaboration happens in here so put the feelers out if you're interested in what someone does.

Ray, I appreciate the listen and comment. Making music without other players involved is definitely "the fallen tree in the forest". Would be nice to fix that

Thanks for the listen and the comments! Brightened up my weekend.
What part of Florida are you from? We spend winters there in SW Fl. We went from 2 miles in, to gulf front during that storm

Hey there Mark, great to have you on the forum. Judging by this beauty I'm looking forward to hearing more from you. I've not played the blues before, but I like them - and I think you'll find a few of them here are really good at it. I may to start picking it up myself. Really nice sound.
Brad

Welcome to the Showcase, Mark! We love the blues and your song sounds great. Your voice has a rich timbre that sounds like a cross between David Bromberg and James Taylor. Unbeknownst to lots of folks JT is a fine blues singer. The band and mix sound really good on our monitors. Enjoyed it! J&B
