Blue Monger on Soundcloud
Blue Monger on YouTube The idea of the BLUE MONGER savior originally combined BLUE Attitude with TuneMONGER, with solos and fills from guitar and harmonica. TuneMonger says hello to all on the forum by the way. He is off on a wonderful adventure researching The Bard. The savior shows what great Blues players can do for a town –lift them up from the blues. It's the difference between The Blues and having the blues. File:Blue Monger.SGU Key=Em , Tempo 86, Length (m:s)=4:13 4 bar intro, 85 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 89. Repeat x1 chorus Style is _DEAD2ME.STY (Dead To Me Blues Swing Harmonica) RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^3-SCl,SRd RealTracks in style: 2961:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesSlowSwingColin Sw 085 RealTracks in style: 2886:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkBluesSlowShuffleBrent Sw 085 RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^3-SCl,SRd RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song: BluesChicagoShuffleSw^ RealDrums in Song:BluesMondaySw8^06-a,b:Snare, HiHat Yeah, I just copied the listing in the SGU Memo, and this is what we get. I changed the Style drums in favor of MultiStems, so mixed all 16 tracks separately. Dave Bell of Blue Attitude, as mentioned, played the heck out of his Blue Guitar, and I played bass and sang. Blue MongerEveryone in town had their faces on the ground. A once contagious cat had brought them blues. They called at once for help with no reply. The sheriff seemed annoyed, but the mayor was overjoyed. He 911ed a friend about the news. The assasin came at once to purify. The Blue Monger came to town to spread the truth. He said, "The way you're all feeling down is not The Blues. (They're more like this.) SOLO The whole town came around with the Blue Monger's sound. They bounced right back to life and all was good. The mayor made sure to raise himself in praise while the Blue Monger tipped his hat to the old town cat, and said "When you're feeling blue, it's not The Blues."

I love the topic, the talent of the non-BIAB musicianship (lead and bass), and your vocals - which fit this style like the proverbial glove. Although a set rhyming scheme isn't (IMO) necessary for this style, it does appear that you were attempting to do so between stanzas 1 and 2. I love the internal rhyme of the first line in each stanza (which are really line 1 and 2 in an 'AA' rhyming scheme) my ear didn't catch the 2nd and 3rd line rhymes between the two stanzas. This is most likely because of the space and time between the two. Regardless, as I prefaced this comment with, it isn't a necessary rhyme for this style but if you were going for it (which it appears you were) you may want to work on making each stanza an AABB rhyme.
Keep writing 'em and I'll keep on listening! Great stuff

Marty and Dave, this is one outstanding blues song.
Marty's bass sets the foundation and his vocal is spot on for this blues song.
Dave, your fingers must hurt and playing those burning leads, outstanding chops.
Loved it.

Marty & Dave ...
Quite a song! So cool!
The vocal is terrific, as is the arrangement.
Dave's guitar work is superlative! This is one of those songs that calls for firey chops and deep reverb on the guitar. And his playing on this is exactly that!
Nice work, gentlemen!

Bob Thanks, Bob. The Blues can chase away the blues. I love the topic, the talent of the non-BIAB musicianship (lead and bass), and your vocals - which fit this style like the proverbial glove. Although a set rhyming scheme isn't (IMO) necessary for this style, it does appear that you were attempting to do so between stanzas 1 and 2.

Keep writing 'em and I'll keep on listening! Great stuff Thanks, Dewey. Very educational comment, and opinions are what I seek. When creativity flows I try to stay out of the way and not force rules upon it. That's why I enjoyed Hapkido --no rules. Your comment is very informative and helpful for delineating categories, which I also eschew. Yet, I am trying to improve and appreciate your help. Thanks again.

Hi Marty,
Like Ray I heard this song too before it was posted on this forum. It was you sending it directly to me ;-)
And I wrote I loved the song very much. I had to look up what a Monger is, as I know now it is some kind of farmer.
We have a lot of problems overhere with sad farmers or, as I know now Blue Mongers.
I didn't know they want to kill cats and I'm a bit sensitive when it comes to those furry animals as you know.
But it is not the Blues...
It is a really good/funny song with those lyrics and your very good vocals and -of course- an excellent play from Dave during the song.
The two of you turn every song into gold or gold or some other precious metal.
Great job!
Hans

Hi, Hans!! Monger was just using TuneMonger's handle combined with Dave's BlueAttitude --my original intent. There were no cats harmed in the making of this song, and no one wanted to kill anyone. It was a human cat who had the blues and got everyone to follow in his folly. Thanks, Hans. Please don't ask us to play metal.

fj Thanks, Floyd! You're right, The Blues usually only tells of things like It's quarter to 3, or sizing up match boxes to see if all his belongings will fit. Glad you like it. Marty and Dave...you guys have created a signature sound with your tunes that is recognizable from the superior musicianship and top-quality songs that you produce...Marty your lyrics and melodies are always so well written and composed...I'm not a blues expert but I know that this is at the top of the food chain when it comes to presenting it in a professional manner...big fan here! Thanks, Dan. So glad you're NOT a blues expert, or you'd be telling me how unlike The Blues this one is. Seems you are a big fan of one of your biggest fans. Hi Marty and Dave
Blues at its best
Great sung and played
Dave's guitar work is absolutely great
So many great fill ins and of course the awesome main solo
Really a very well done song and a great collaboration.

Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi. Yeah, I can't imagine how empty this would sound without Dave's contributions.

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."
