I Got The Blues During Happy Hour A fun song looking for a good singer. This song started a few months ago. I just got it as presentable as I could. The intro started in BiaB using the micro chords, however I couldn't get them to play perfectly so I took my best attempt, brought it into my DAW, got the timing the way I wanted and copy and pasted them through out the song. I went back to BiaB and generated another part of the song and copy and pasted them in my DAW. I then arranged those two parts into this song. Unfortunately CRS set in and I forgot to save the BiaB file so I don't know what style I actually used. Bass = Ample Bass - preset Ying Yang Strings - UVI work station - B3 - slightly modified to better fit the song Drums - Steven Slate SSD5 - Preset Classic Angry Rock Piano - Kontakt-Chris Hiens Harmonica Me- Vocals, rhythm and lead guitars and via my keyboard controller the blues harp leads (Kontakt-Chris Hiens Harmonica) and the backing vocals (EastWest Play - Backup Singers) I Got The Blues During Happy Hour V-My divorce became final today All I gotta do is pay and pay she got the house the car the kids and the cat she got the elevator I got the shaft so that is C-why Yes that is why I got the blues During happy hour V-I'm sitting at this redneck bar I walked here cause I ain't got no car A lovely lady sat down next to me Wow, she used to be a he and that is C-why Yes that is why I got the blues During happy hour V-a cute young thing entered the bar I wonder what my chances are I got the courage and walked across the floor I said what's your sign She said exit, and walked out the door and that's C-why Yes that is why I got the blues During happy hour

That's a fun one Mario.
The vocal suits the song really well.
The band is cool - though I hear the bass as a bit iffy.
I particularly enjoyed your lead playing.
Cheers

STANDING OVATION, from me. This song just shines, alongside (and, in no small part, due to) your brilliant sense of humour.
One VERY small quibble: do you think it'd be a good idea to bring that voice of yours more forward in the mix? It's getting lost in the mix at the moment, to my ears, and that'd be a real pity, as I think it sounds great, but badly (in my view, at least) needs to come forward, with confidence, and take the song by the scruff of the neck, so to speak :-)
One of the ones I enjoyed the most, from you, and you know I really like all of the songs, tracks, etc., you post on here. I can't stop smiling, now :-) Nice one :-)

Man, you are such a fun guy, Mario. Glad to hear you got your good singer. Love these lyrics. You mention 3 of the best things that can bring on the blues at happy hour. You are, of course, using the word blues in its most colloquial or plebian way. We musicians, of course, love getting the blues at happy hour. I really enjoy your talent, Mario.

Very, very nice and great lyrics!

Great lead and harmonica.
Enjoyed!

Excellent tune Mario. I had the exact opposite happen to me. I got rid of the blues after happy hour lol. Excellent vocal. Loved the guitar. Very cool licks. Really cool backtrack. Well done..

I particularly enjoyed your lead playing. Ray thanx for listening and commenting. The bass part is straight out of BiaB. What did you mean by a little iffy?

I'm not sure about that good singer remark though. Around here any PM hour can be a happy hour. Actually sometimes many happy hours!

As Bud said, "Man oh man do I wish I'd come up with that notion. Happy Hour Blues Yeah!"
But, hey, you took your notion, wrote a cool lyric around it, gave it a good dose of the multi-talented Mario and voila ... a most cool blues tune indeed.
Great performances all the way around ... love the axe and, hey, don't sell yourself short on the vocals!
Fun.

Thanx so much J&B. Feel free to record a Happy Hour Blues. I know Janice's vocal would be outstanding, as always.
