Hello Forum members,

Enough time has gone by that I'm not sure I remember how to post something. If I don't succeed, it won't be a disaster because this submission barely qualifies for the PG Forum. It just shows how powerful BIAB is when you can add a real powerhouse like Phil Woods on RealTracks alto for the closer, just like that. I like to generate several solos, then cut and paste the best lines to complete it.

The personnel are all pro musicians, one of them a proud alumnus of this Forum. And if it's the best version of this immortal classic since Sam Cooke, then I proudly take credit for being the arranger, the Take 6 clone I call The Deep 6, and a few other things. I'm strictly a side man here. You'll see the real stars when you click this link:

Nice to hear from you again. Very nice arrangement. Great job on the vocals from James Rivas, and the trumpet was a nice touch. Good job!

That's really spectacularly good. Can you enlighten us as to which tracks were constructed by BIAB?

Dani,

This now proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are both still alive, here on planet Earth!

Jimmy Rivas is a very experienced - and very successful - singer/player/arranger/composer from Florida. Here's a interesting good news/bad news/good news etc. story concerning Jimmy.

Good news: A serious movie company recently bought one of his compositions/perfomances for use in an upcoming movie.

Bad news: The movie is about the life of Jeffrey Dahmer (if this name doesn't ring a bell, find out more than you want to know in Wikipedia)

Good news: It only covers Dahmer's early years, just giving hints and signposts pointing to his eventual behaviors.

Bad news: The movie company is not one of the big ones, it's an independent.

Good news: This movie will make lots of money anyway, because so many people find the subject matter irresistible, at least here they do, possibly in Finland not so much.

By the way, are the Finns really going to proceed with that minimum annual income-no work program? Can I move there?

Thank you kindly Buttrey

And that's a great question - with a very small answer which I'll try to beef up a bit. At the end of the tune, where you hear Jimmy Rivas really belting out the finale ("I know, I know, I know," etc. - I think he's trying to tell us that he knows) you'll hear an alto sax pouring it on for about 4 measures.

Any jazz horn player hearing it will tell you that, whoever it is, this player is absolutely top-notch. Perfect sound, beautifully shaped ideas. Well, this guy is beyond top-notch, and that can only mean it's Phil Woods, one of the amazing number of world class musicians PG music got to create these RealTracks. I don't know how Peter Gannon did it or why he left me out (LOL!), but he did it.

So, the short answer, 4 measures at the end, RealTracks Phil Woods on alto sax. All other instrumental tracks except drums and trumpet were played by me.

Trevor,

So great to meet up with ye again, man. Always quick with the most generous and kind spirited remarks. Thank you.

True, I have been away, but not exactly by choice. Following the lose of my guitar playing hand to nerve damage, complicated surgery seemed to have failed after the trial observation period. Then 6 more months went by and out of the blue, the unexpected began to happen. My fingers had been frozen in position, with the left pinky sticking out like a bolted-on flag pole. Just as sudden as the collapse of the hand, one day I began moving the pinky toward and away from the rest of the hand. Then the rest of the fingers began spreading out. I can't play the guitar like I used to, but no one can say that I can't play at all.

Expecting the worst, a lot of my time away was spent beefing up my right hand keyboard chops. I banged into a bunch of pros on SoundCloud who began asking me for arrangements and one thing led to another. Now I'm really over committed to these guys. Thia planet wasn't designed right. It really needs a 38 hour day.

Trevor, take care of yourself and I hope to be back soon.

Dean
