Hi Marty,
Did your wife cook you a delicious dinner after hearing your beautiful song? Or were the (yours or hers) bags packed because she finally met Prince Charming after all these years?
No, this is a nasty joke that a Dutchman has to make when hearing these kinds of love stories. We are used to that ourselves...
As I said it's a catchy song with, of course, a very good solo from Dave.
Your vocals sound nice and more bright then before. And you sing very seriously! But 45 years of marriage is a very serious matter! So far I come to 39 years, but with one difference; she found her prince for our marriage ;-)
How nice you have planned to release an album on the 14th. This song fits perfectly with that day!!!
I bet you still have a lot of work to finnish your album in time.
Good luck with it, Marty!
Hans
Hello, Hans. Not to worry. IF Barb finally met her prince, she wouldn't recognize him. Oh, you're a prince alright, and your wife obviously has great taste. The album was finished by November, and I already have the next one almost done. BiaB and the inspiration on this forum make creativity easy. Cool lyric Marty. Excellent vocal and backtrack as well. Daves guitar lines were perfect for the tune. Well done Thank you, Scott. Kindred spirits we are Marty.
last week was my message to the wife & now here's yours.
I like the way this lops along & broadway Blues is as good a toe tag as any.
Great bottom end from you, Dave's icing is well set.
I hope you get a response from the missus, mine didn't say a word.
Top shelf shuffle. Kindred spirits for sure, Ray. Some would say we share the same overself. Barb won't say a word to me either. I don't think she even listens to my songs, but she is quite inspiring. I like this. Kind of a bluesy thing. Mix sounds good. Guitar sounds good. Thanks, Herb.

Excellent song, Marty, and I really like the video you did for it too. Kathy did as well, we watched it together.
Tomorrow is the big day for your CD release, looking forward to giving it a spin!

Lovely romantic tune for sweethearts with lots of honest confidence  The band works very well, but what else would you expect to hear when Dave's guitar and Marty's bass shine together. Nice video, I like the jigsaw pieces as the symbol for fitting together Janne Thank you, Janne. I always enjoy your comments, AND your music. Nice one Marty. Or is it Deej again?
Now I'll have to write one to mine of over 50 years although already did one for our 40th.
I don't want her getting to complacent :-).
Vic Haha, Vic. I will never forget that. Thanks. I'd say after 50+ years, your wife's pretty content with a good thing. Marty,
Very nice song!
Your appeal to your partner is wonderful.
It's very good to be positive.
Dave's guitar and your bass shine together.
Even if someone asks me what genre this song is, I can't answer either.
Some music needs a genre, but this song doesn't.
This song goes straight to our hearts.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you, Shigeki. Yeah, my blood type is B-positive. You, sir, are a very positive influence on my songwriting for sure. "if you know what's good for you, it's me."
What a terrific line!!
"Broadway Blues"? I like it. I hope you wore sunglasses to sing this - just TOO cool!
Love that BASS!!
Dave is talkin'!!!
Good mix.
Charming. (and Princely)
fj Thanks so much, Floyd. You are always so good at picking out my favorite lines. That one is one I've said to Barb for years. A Kingly response!!

Smooth as butter! The sentiment of the lyric is a winner with us first of all. Great mix and the piano is really good. Dave sounds great Your vocal and bass are smooooooooth. And as always a most supportive video. Love it! J&B PS The YT comment option was not showing. Maybe an issue on our end.

Excellent song, Marty. I love the feel and sound. You've sung this so convincingly. Congrats on 45 years. We're a wee bit shy of that going on 37, and she knows I'm her Prince Charming.

So much has already been shared that I would agree with. Is it too little to say, I hear all of those aspect yet sometimes like to just listen as as though I don't know a thing. I just really like the song...so the rest of it must be right kind of thing. Great job!
BTW, I'm like you, many times I don't know where MY music fits if I had to categorize it. I'm trying to forget about genre's as I feel I start thinking in terms of this does or doesn't fit a song in such and such a genre. It sucks the fun and creativity out of it. So...bring on the heavy distortion bag pipes! lol j/k
Anyway, keep these songs comin!
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

Marty and Dave create another masterpiece!
Outstanding vocal, lyrics, lead guitar, and mix.
I always try to concentrate on your bass and Dave's guitar. You both are so good it is scary.
Loved this one. Thanks, Mario. We always appreciate your close inspection, and thoughtful comments. Hey Marty, This has a really fun 50s vibe to be it!! I like it!! Really great job! Did you lay this down on tape man? Thanks, David. I AM a 50s vibe. Yes, the original was reel to unreal when I sang much higher and faster. Marty,
First off, terrific write . . . and every other aspect is top notch . . . vocal, Dave’s killer guitar work (really, the solo is terrific), and the overall production. Really sweet sentiment perfectly delivered. Yes, this would sit quite nice in the five hole. Like the baseball reference — clever. It’s gonna be a good album, Marty. You have some great songs going on it.
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej Thank you, Deej. Yeah, this isn't a good song to come up with a solo for, but Dave never fails. Man, it would be a lot of fun to hang out with you for a game sometime. Excellent song, Marty, and I really like the video you did for it too. Kathy did as well, we watched it together.
Tomorrow is the big day for your CD release, looking forward to giving it a spin! If I just say "Thanks, Dave," you know how big I mean it, right?

And as always a most supportive video. Love it! J&B PS The YT comment option was not showing. Maybe an issue on our end. Thanks, you two. Always so nice to hear from you. Not sure about the YT thing. It's not like me to not want to hear what others have to say.  I got a couple comments there, so... Thanks so much for your comment here and your encouragement and inspiration throughout. Excellent song, Marty. I love the feel and sound. You've sung this so convincingly. Congrats on 45 years. We're a wee bit shy of that going on 37, and she knows I'm her Prince Charming. Thanks, Scott. Yeah, well, it was much easier for your wife to see that. I had a bunch o' faults mine had to iron out. She comes from a long line of capable ironers. Her grandma even ironed her husband's socks and boxer shorts. So much has already been shared that I would agree with. Is it too little to say, I hear all of those aspect yet sometimes like to just listen as as though I don't know a thing. I just really like the song...so the rest of it must be right kind of thing.

Anyway, keep these songs comin! Thanks, C-Aaron! That is BIG to say that you listen without prejudice, not knowing a thing. That is truly the best way to experience a song --anything really. Yes, genres and categories are for mental convivence; in reality, not confined by definite endings. On the continuum of music, however, distorted bagpipes are way off the deep end. Always enjoy your thoughtful comments throughout the forum. Thanks, and I will keep 'em comin' cuz I can't stop.

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."
