Mister Jay v2 Tempo 185 Style is _HEEHAWH.STY (Ol' Dusty Trails) RealTracks in style: ~540:Bass, Electric, Pop Sw 165 RealTracks in style: ~615:Harmonica, Background HeeHaw Sw 165 RealTracks in style: ~373:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw 165 RealTracks in style: 616:Mandolin, Rhythm Bouncy Sw 165 RealTracks in song: ~1135:Pedal Steel, Rhythm WesternSwing Sw 190 RealTracks in song: 1868:Guitar, Resonator, Soloist WesternSwingRob Sw 165 RealDrums [in style:NashvilleSwing8^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride The piano and fiddle were midi tracks (thru hard synth) from the original version. The Piano is actually pieced together from a midi solists, a midi melodist, and a midi harmonist sliced, diced, and overlayed to fit here. The fiddle was a mix of various violin/fiddle patches in the synth and intended to emulate an electric fiddle. I sang and knocked. I succumbed to encouragement to "redo" the original with Reals. This was a bit of a bastage bringing parts of two projects (themselves heavily eidted and in pieces) into a coherent whole that added Real Tracks and Real Drums to an arrangement but also used parts of the original that I consider integral to the song as a whole. The Style was suggested by BIAB when I opened the old .sgu. At first I had my doubts about a style named "HeeHaw", but BIAB is very wise. The bulk of this mix was done in Reaper, but finished in Acid Pro where I seem to have more luck with envelopes. It's been a lot of work, and a learning experience, but I think it's time to put this mix to bed and move on. Comments from the original posting follow: This song was born from a fun conversation with the real "Mr. Jay". a bail-bondsman in Houston. He not only inspired the song with his stories, but helped to "Houstonify" it. I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay I am quite surprised to see you, I must say Please don't haul me off to Jail I'll be back to check my mail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay. Ain't this Memphis springtime something else to feel? I've been busking for a bus ticket down on Beale See that lady there that let you through the door. Ain't none like her back in Houston anymore. I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay And I'm quite surprised to see you I must say Please don't haul me off to jail I'll be back to check my mail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay. I'll head back to Cunny Homes in old 3rd ward Baby's mama prolly thinks there's some reward Got to get back to my biz on Scott and Clay Give me one more week, I'll be back Mr. Jay Instrumental Ain't this LA breeze a bucketful of bliss? Ain't no courtroom back in Houston quite like this You look like you've been working pretty hard Stick around, I'll show you Sunset Boulevard. I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay I am quite surprised to see you, I must say Please don't haul me off to Jail I'll be back to check my mail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay. Ain't this New York City something, Lord I swear Since you made it here, you'll make it anywhere It's up to you if you think it's time to go. Got no money and I'm scared of Mexico I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay And I'm not surprised to see you I must say I'll crawl off of this here stoop get back inside the loop I am not jumping bail Mr. Jay I am not jumping bail I'm not jumping bail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay Tangmo 2008

I loved the song, Tangmo! Well done!
It reminded me of the electro swing style that were so popular a few years ago. Worth considering if you ever want to make another version with another style in BiaB. Your song got a groove similar to that style.

Tangmo, what a great sound you have achieved with this track! The band has the perfect vibe to it to support that great vocal you put on it! The mix sounds wonderful to me on the first listen! Thanks, Torrey

Tangmo,
I enjoyed hearing this again in it's new version. A clever song. The addition of RealTracks is well done.

I really like this song. Nice comfortable groove, and well written lyrics. This the kind of song that gets stuck in your head.
Good job.

Tangmo,
Wow, this is really catchy—makes me think of a Grateful Dead song. Great write and love the production on this—that instrumental is killer. Very awesome tune—well done!

That will never. ever. happen. But I'll keep that in mind in case it ever does.

Oh yeah! We love the new version.
In a way it has a bit of a Farm Aid sound...like something Mellencamp might've done. Also it has a feel of what Tom Adams has described as Appalachian Honky Tonk. All good things.
We enjoyed it and the backstory of how it all came about!

Really well done! Love how it sounds with the RealTracks. The song really flows perfectly. Love the groove, and your vocals fit perfectly in the mix. Nicely catchy and perfectly energetic. This is the kind of tune I can imagine sounding unreal live. Great work and thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk
