No thanks, close this window
Hi Guys, Forgot to thank you for the playlist add for "Touch Down". Bill
BroGreede, Gentlemen, thanks for the 5's for "Pale Vanilla Moon", and "New Dog, Old Tricks". PVM is a re-write of a countryish older tune "Carolina Moon". A producer friend suggested I do a Jazz version as that's more my wheelhouse. Someday I'll get back to ND,NT and stretch out a little. Really love "White Pass" ! Bill
Tony, Thanks for the 5's for "Scorcher" and "It Must Be Raining". Gotta get back to both of them someday, as usual. "Happy-Go-Lucky" is a gas, man! 5's for sure. Thanks for the follows on my Facebook music page, just gettin' started with expanding my reach. Will be submitting stuff to some other music sites soon. Working with a friend/producer/teacher/jazz trumpet player in Nashville who knows this biz. So far the sync thing hasn't worked out, seems my production skills aren't up to the task and my voice isn't pop enough... Bill
Bill, I haven't yet listened to everything you have out there but I will eventually. Virtually everything I have heard so far has something instructive in it for me and that automates five star ratings. My Happy-Go-Lucky is a sort of 'popular music' attempt. Overly synthy perhaps? Will see how that plays out, ever tweaking. Thank you as well, sir, and stay well and creative! Tony
Oh yeah, wanted to mention I have a presence on Bandcamp now, tho I have much still to learn about it, how to use it..
Hi Barry, Thanks for the nice review of "I Know". Yeah, not really radio material, but I haven't listened to much radio in decades. Need to revisit the horn parts sometime...computer was glitching on the outro... Thanks again, Bill
Hey-- I enjoyed the listen --- and the only radio I listen to is playing the same song lists I heard in the 60-70's ........
Tony, Appreciate the 5's for "First Light On The Prairie". Started out as a solo country/jazz guitar piece from eons ago. It's one of those tunes I intend to revisit... Just spent my next 2 years allowance on Mojo2 Horns 2.0. Now I have to learn how to use it. And, of course, I get a message from Kontact that my current version of their product needs to be updated to use the new software...it never ends. Bill
I'll look into Mojo2 Horns myself. Not super keen on dishing out cash myself but occasionally it"s worth it. - T
Yeah, pricey stuff. Might also look at acoustic samples V Horns and V Saxophones. About $50 bucks less if you buy both programs, actually I wanted to get these instead but Sweetwater let me make payments which didn't hurt quite as much and didn't carry the V Horns/Sax product. I'd check them both out...let me know what you think.
Marvin, Appreciate the listen and review of "Touch Down". One of those tunes that I need to revisit and tweak a bit. Always enjoy your stuff... Bill
Patrick, Thanks for the review of "In The Gardens Of Mrs. B" and the 5's for "I Think of You". Your friend, Bill
No Prob Bill! Just keep cranking those beauties out! Pat
Skellee, Many thanks for the 5's for "Pale Vanilla Moon". Just listened to "Your Lovin'"...I like your style...5's Bill
Tony, Many thanks for the 5's for "I Really Love Your Mind", "PHD", and "Papa Don't Mind". A couple of these might be entering the sync world soon...fingers crossed. Bill
Wishing you all the best..you absolutely Rock...love what you do...!!!
Bill "I think of You" is a winner really. Have you placed this yet? Pat
Thanks Pat, Haven't placed anything through Bjam. I'm working with some producers/libraries for some sync work...looks promising, but nothing yet. Hoping to get some positive results before I leave this planet. Bill
Sandra, Thanks for the kind review of "Money Can't". That recording was done in a live hall in 1984. Unfortunately that is the only copy I have and it's off of a cassette. Wrote the tune in1976. Bill
Hi Bill, I really did enjoy it! Great title, too.
BroGreede, Want to thank you guys for all the 5's, song list adds and endorsements. It's nice to know somebody is listening. After 50+ years of beating nails and hauling lumber it's been good to get back to the music. I enjoy your stuff! Bill
Hey Bill....it's all good... really like what you do...really cool stuff...I'm heavy into jazz... been that way for many decades and listened to just about anyone who played on the GRP label...you're right up there my friend...continue doing what you do best ...making outstanding music!! Tony Keys- BG
Marvin, Thanks for the 5's for "Maggie's Bright". Started out as an ode to my maglite during a time when the muse had deserted me...it happens. Love what you do, I'm a fan. Bill
BroGreede, Appreciate the 5's for "In The Beginning". Written for my wife. Another tune that doesn't follow the accepted songwriting format... Bill
Gentlemen, Thanks, again, for another 5's, for "Polka Dot Blue". Loosely based on a personal experience... Bill
Gentlemen, Thanks for the 5's for "Chainsaw Weather". Just had a conversation with a producer who said it broke most of the songwriting rules but he loved it anyway. Never was one to follow rules... Bill
Hey Bill....love this tune ( "Chain Saw Weather")!!....it's the first I've put in a playlist!!!!...Love what you're doing!!!!...Keep on rockin!!!! TK-BroGreede!!!
Gentlemen, Thanks for the 5's for "It Must Be Raining". Bill

Peter, Thanks for the 5's for "Space In Between". Not my usual jazz influenced tune, just a soft lob at the current state of the universe. Bill
Mrs. Kate Thank you for the kind words and 5's for "Space In Between". Bill a.k.a. MrBill
Thanks for the review of Florida sunshine. Merry Christmas. Mrs Kate

Hi guys, Thanks for the listen and 5's for "Space In Between". Appreciate the support. Bill a.k.a MrBill
Hi Tony/Rex, Have to thank you for the 5's for "Space In Between". Well, I guess I didn't have to, but, you now, professional courtesy and all. When do you find out about the UK thing? Bill a.k.a. MrBill
Mijnheer Bill, UK contest. I don't know, could announce any time now is my guess. Trying to temper my expectations, can't doubt this final stage is brutal. When i listen to and re-analyze my submissions, maybe they are 'ok', but it isn't hard for me to rationalize their not making the cut. We'll see. In any case, I ain't quittin'. T.
Hi Rex, I had 5 Semi Finalists! Didn't go further though!
R&S, Thanks for the 5's for "Space In Between". MrBill
Mannis, Appreciate the 5's for "Space In Between". Bill
Hi Barry, Thanks for the 5's for "Space In Between". Bill
My pleasure I enjoyed the listen... Keep creating! I will drop you a new one of mine that is in the works once completed.
Marvin, Appreciate the 5's for "Space In Between". Not my normal subject matter... Your Friend, Bill a.k.a. MrBill
Bro, Thanks for the 5's for "Rise Again". Bill
hey...Bill...a good tune is a good tune!!...as musicians we need to be supportive of each others work/ talents....5/5's don't come easy...and in my opinion their not supposed to! We need to be fair and honest at the same time....your tune deserved it!!!!...Keep up the great work..will be listening!!!
