Yeah, I know, every noteworthy songwriter should write a country song about whiskey, unfortunately mine is still under construction, although I have already the title smile Congratulations for your successful entry in that category! Really funny, punchlines well timed and hilarious, what's the point wink And the video made me burst into laughter. A classic song, hopefully one of those that you and your humor will be remembered for for millennia smile 3/4 works perfectly, the instrument selection is very pleasant and nothing bad to say about vocals and bass either. Keep laughing and keep making us laugh grin

Janne

PS. Your new album is great!

Marty,

Whiskey is wonderful, isn't it?
I also love whiskey.
On a daily basis, I drink Scotches such as Old Parr, Ballentine's, Dewa'rs, Bell's, Teacher's, Johnnie Walker and etc.
On special occasions, I have single malts such as Talisker and etc.
Of course, I also love bourbons like Jack Daniel's, I.W. Harper, Wild Turky, Maker's Mark, and etc.
Oops, I almost forgot to comment on the music.
Both the song and the video are full of love for whisky.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks, Tom. Whiskey is a good country theme, and the 3-quarter time helped with the wobble.

Yes, floyd, that was the best reaction. Lucky sends her love.

Hi Marty,

I find this a very interesting angle for a song!
And then your performance in the video was great!
I wouldn't dare to mention that 'W' word again.
Well actually I'm no fan of that stuff. I prefer the 'R' word as you know
(R means rum, for all outsiders...).
Have I said it's a lovely melody with good lyrics and your humor?

I'm often either stuck or lost for words on this forum, but this is just yet another really good song, lyrically and musically. The video is great, too, and I love your talkie bit! That works a treat. smile

Hey, don't be asking me for keyboard parts when you can play like that! wink
Thanks, Dan. Yeah, whiskey and I never got along either. I pretty much do the Jesus thing every day. Start out with water, then change it to wine at night. Ha! A couple octaves doesn't make me a piano player. If I had chops like yours, I'd probably still ask cuz you got such good taste. Strings, too!

Thanks, Janne! Man, I can't wait to hear yours about whiskey. HEY! You are one of my 27 followers? Thanks so much for that, m'man. In the car I pretty much only listen to the folks from this forum. I've looked for you in the past without success. If you are somewhere (other than Soundcloud), please let me know.

Thanks, Shigeki. You remind me of a friend I wrote with and played in bands with for 6 decades. Man, he loved his Glenfiddich single malt. I don't kow whiskey, but in one song I needed an expensive drink that rhymed with house, and found Famous Grouse. Ever try it?


Enjoy whatever happens!

Marty,

Famous Grouse, it's nostalgic for me.
When I was in my late 20s, the house whiskey at the bar I frequented was Famous Grouse, so I drank it often.
I still drink it sometimes.
It is a Scotch with a very unique flavor compared to Ballantine's and Dewar's.
So I drink Ballantine's and Dewar's on a daily basis.
Glenfiddich is also my favorite Scotch.
And whiskey is the source of my music production.

Best regards.

Well, laughter is the best medicine, isn’t it?! The audio and video are great, Marty, and your country persona is a delight. The recitation was perfect and we enjoyed your cameo in the vid. Oh, and the yawning seal really was a scene stealer. 😊

The baritone and resonator guitars with your honky tonk piano fit well. Excellent bass (of course) and your country vocals are a hit.

We do enjoy a good bourbon but stick to one drink instead of a bottle. 😆

The ending was a fun surprise.
Cool!

Excellent tune Marty. I was in the mood for a waltz. Vocal was super. Loved the backtrack and lyric. Well done. Dobrp was a nice add

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."
