No thanks, close this window
Thanks again, for the 5-star review. I guess we keep on keepin on...but starting to wonder if BJ is really a road to something bigger or just a loop...
Bjam...is all about making $$$$...sadly...that's it brotherman!!!! Serious musicians should be looking into better options!!!! AZ
Tell that to the multi-millionaires like Bob Dylan, the Eagles, et. al., you sure you wanna act morally superior?
CW...just relating facts my man!! Superiority-really?? If you insist!! I'm only on this site...as an ongoing tribute...nothing more! The way this things runs is shameful and extremely unfair...and that's not just my opinion....do some research like I've done for the greater part of 24 years before casting out aspersions..... brotherman!...Could be the other way around...interesting!!!
Hi Toni, Paul here! Many thanks mate for the 5 star rating on my crazy German song, "Ich Für Dich". Appreciate it very much! The song actually started out as "Where Is The Love?", a lot slower in the style of Oasis and Coldplay but I couldn't get it to work. Trying to sleep, I had the song in my head a lot faster but shock of shocks realised it had to be a German schlager song!! So, here is the end result of an Englishman with a Somerset accent singing German. Thanks again mate, and best wishes!
Hi Anthony--Thanks for your recent listens and stars. I appreciate it! I have been listening to more of your tunes. They are the perfect blend of 80s metal and ballads. Hope everything is well with you! Jeana P
Hi Jeana....it's always a pleasure to listen to your playing! Thank you for the comments as well. Yes....old sounding at that! Most of the entire catalog of BG tunes where written in the mid-later 90's with the exception of a few! The music was intended to be just that! Great things were to happen but we weren't given the chance! Thank you for your support...it means a lot coming from a seasoned pro like yourself!! Anthony Z
Not old sounding! The 80's had some great music, I like your vibe. I'm glad you are continuing to make new music. It's a tribute to your bandmates/brother and great way to honor them.
You are absolutely right maestro!!! Remember I told you about the instrumental that I named after my daughter!?...well I was up till ~ 2:30am...trying to convert the mix to mp3 format and do believe it worked out. However I still have some issues with it that still haunt me! Even after playing with the mix various times it still disrupts my mind!! I'm not sure if I could just let it go the way it is!? I actually feel that I nailed the performance and really don't want to try it again-because I couldn't play it any better. Sometimes things just happen that wasn't planned and it just adds more flavor to it! You know what I mean!!. Besides me being a my own pia.....I'm always way too critical-and I can hear my brother say over and over...."it's rock & roll....who cares?...it's good enough"...let's move on"!...lol. Anyway...when I can settle my mind with this I would like for you to be the very first to hear it and would love your opinion! Of course I'm nervous with that idea too!...Oh Boy!!!! Anyway...have a great day! Over here it's sunny...going to be in the 60's...springtime on it's way....gotta love it!! I hope the weather by you is good as well? When it's like this....it just makes you feel great!!!....:) Your fan, Anthony Z
I would love to hear your piano piece. We are always our own worst critics. I have mistakes or things I would change about most of my recordings. I have adapted the "good enough" approach, too. We also have beautiful weather in the 60's today, but tomorrow we are supposed to get 5-7 inches of snow and are in a blizzard advisory. Typical Nebraska. :-)
OMG!!!!......Snow!!!??...5>7"??.... ..it's a bad statement!!! ..hopefully it won't be as bad as they predict!!...Wishing you and your family beautiful sunny skies...and nice warm temps which is mandated for musical creation!!!!.lol.............:)
Thanks BroGreede for giving our song 'Late In The Morning ' a 5 star Rating!!! I really appreciate that you liked our song and took the time to listen and Rate the song! You've been a great supporter of us and we really appreciate your support and friendship!!! Thanks again and have a Great Weekend!!
Had to recognise, "White Pass" and, "Lost in Silence"! Vocals superb, strong and also so haunting in "Annabelle"! So terrible that you have lost so many great band members the last few years. So Looking forward to hearing your new Piano Instrumental!
Thanx Jim....appreciate it.....yes...it's been some ride! The memories keep me together...because that's all that's left..otherwise pull all the plugs pack it all up and wave goodbye!! Thanx for taking the time to give a listen!! Anthony Z
Thanks Bro for your vote of confidence in five Starring and Listing my, "Nashville Calling"! I thought I was keeping it quiet! I suppose I should let friends here know it is released now! I will add the Video now as well!
Hi Jim....been a little while! I love this tune! You sent me a link and I also saw the video that accompanies it! Absolutely GREAT brotherman!!! How could it be anything less coming from you! I hope all is well for you ..your wife and family! You are Tops!!! Reach out anytime! I gave you my personal email....so feel free...it's easier to communicate...send tunes...pics...vids...etc. like you have already! I've been somewhat busy in my studio the past couple of months. I'm having an explosion of musical ideas...so I guess it's creation time! I've been listening to a lot of Classical...Neo-Classical music which I simply love. I am a Classically trained pianist!! I'm starting to record a composition that I've had on the back burner for decades and never recorded it. It will be an instrumental which I feel fits the Neo-Classical genre. I'm entitling it...Valerie( my daughter). I have some minor issues with the recording performance which I'm trying to fix without re-doing it because I couldn't possibly play it any better. So wish me luck...and you will be the very first person who hears it! Yes....let everyone know about "Nashville Calling" and please add the video!! "It's About Time"(this is actually a BroGreede tune)....LOL!!! Anthony Z
Oh...my good friend J.A......just in case you misplaced?......my personal email..... skyhawk772@gmail.com. Anthony Z
thanks for the stars on my songs
Allison....anything you put together is stellar!!! As I said before ....you are the "Carole King" of Bjam!!!.........:) Anthony Z
Thank You BroGreede for the great endorsement and for adding our song 'Words So Hollow' to your awesome Playlist!!! We really appreciate that you like our songs and the work we do!!!! Thanks again for your continued support!!!
Thanks BroGreede for giving our song 'Words So Hollow( Instrumental) a 5 star rating!!! We really appreciate your support and friendship!!! I'm glad you liked it!!! Thanks again!!! Have a great day!!!
Hey....absolutely really good tasteful and enjoyable listens...I appreciate your talents....I sent out a friendship request-I hope you accept. We live relatively close! I'm a multi-instrumentalist/ songwriter/composer/arranger/produc er/all music/lyrics very much like yourself- Anthony! I'm also very much into collaboration in a variety of genres! And isn't that cool?...you have a really great name!!LOL. Sending out kudos...accolades and everything good your way! Godspeed!! Anthony Z
Activate Me...lastly...please get a lot of your incredible tunes in Bjam's review mechanism so I can send out some love!!!...:) AZ
Hey, good to see your work is being appreciated and in the Top 10!. CW Anderson
Hey....CW!! been a while...well thank you brotherman-appreciate it! Been on/off top Bjam's 10's with many tunes and for many years...don't know exactly what it all means-like I said...comes & goes-doesn't mean much! Honestly doesn't matter to me anyway! FYI...BroGreede is past tense (since 2011) ...a very long & rather sad story due to a "series of unfortunate events" Anyway I remain on this site primarily as a tribute to my late brother and other band-mate- nothing more!! Honestly BG has been on this rather questionable site since 2001...that's 24 years now-WOW!! I certainly learned a lot about this site during that time. Way too much to yak about at this time-maybe another time-if you're interested! Anyway....I'm getting started up once again and taking some different roads! By default I'm a classically trained pianist and also have some strong roots in jazz / Blues & fusion! BG was all about progressive/rock/metal/eclectic stuff -far removed from where I came from! It was fun to experiment though! In addition I'm a multi-instrumentalist....keyboards. ..piano...trumpet...guitar...drums. ..not to mention some oddities. Recently I've been joined by a very good ole time friend & pro-drummer to assist me with material I've had on the back burner for decades-again..very much outside the realm of BroGreede. It's going to take some time and energy but I'm looking forward to hearing how all pans out..that is...if it's ok with the man upstairs!! Amen! Please wish us some luck! I hope all good with you and looking forward to listening to your outstanding music as well!....Thank you again.........Godspeed! Anthony Z
Simply....YOU ROCK!!!!..................:) TK-BG
Simply........YOU ROCK!!!!!..:) It's really cool to find such cool...upcoming refreshing talent!! I'm behind ya brother-love what you're doing and putting out there!! Tk-BG
Dear BroGreede, I finally see where you reviewed my songs, you know what, I was having some real problems with my medication about that time, so you will need to forgive me for my terrible recall Sir!! I was having nightly withdrawls/terrible tremors !! I think I have almost kicked Tramadal completly, a month off that crap!! Not an easy task for a White City Boy....... Art Corey.....
Hey BroGreede, Hope you are getting these messages!! And hope we are Buddies again......And you have forgiven me one more time, I really am not a Bad Guy swear to God!! Let me know if you are receiving these notes!! Art Corey......................
Mr. Art Carney...absolutely I'm getting your messages...I was in the process of having my grand piano tuned today and the tuner was an extremely intense guy...but in the final analysis....WOW!!!...unbelievable sound! Like new again!! I watched everything he did...just painstakingly done to exacto-mundo perfection!!! I spent thew whole day with him...a very long story...but a really great guy....we used to fly together...pilot buddy!! Anyway...forgiven you!???...for what??... I don't take Bjam seriously....not at all...! Yes...you aren't a bad guy!!...we are like 2 peas on a pod!! Buddies forever!!!...that is ...till you up and leave me again!??? LOL. You have to admit....I never did that to you!!!...lol.....Bring on the Corey musical magic....I've become somewhat jaded on this site! There are a few really good artists ...but too far and in between... honestly too many wanna bees...whatever that means...LOL. Then there are the artists who dominate every genre/subgenres...have the same tunes rated over and over and over again and must be at 24/7!? I actually very bad for them! What are they looking for! A top 10!!?? Oh my word!! LMAO! They all could use a good kick in the ass- that is...just for principle!!.....Art...just get back in the groove...let the Corey magic come back!! I'm hardly hearing any of your stuff!?? I told you a while back...I'm a Corey fan...you didn't believe me!?? ..and to this day I still am!!!...So there!!!......I'm here Art!!....willing to support ya...like always!!
Hey BroGreede, You can hear all our really GOOD Tunes at Margie & Art Corey@Broad Jam.com it's the order & the way I want them played!!!!! Glad that they tuned your Grand Piano the way you wanted, that must have cost a pretty penny?? Are you basicly a keyboardist?? Is that your instrument of choice?? My instrument on a good day is guitar, but arthritist is getting the best of me these days, I am trying some CBD on the hands and that is working a tad!! I hope we can remain friends now for awhile, now that we are Pen Pals again...... Art Corey...................... P.S. So...What Kind of Artist do you think the Corey's are on a Scale of One To Ten???
ha....Art....does a rating really matter???. Really??..sounds like ego buddy!?...who cares!!??..How many times in the past have I sent you really nice kudos...always positive words-always been supportive and given you the famous..highly sought-after Bjam 5/5?.. You really are forgetful?...or need occasional reassuring? If ya need to know....The Corey's are numero uno on Bjam buddy! So as you can the number system can be interpreted in many ways-and please don't forget to add in it's all subjective non-sense!! Does anyone really care!?? I hope that answers your perplexing question!? And please don't forget...It's just little ole me....TK....from a band that ended in 2011..I'm on this site for 24 years now...just and only as a tribute!..so that's about 5800.00..just in monthly fees without adding in all the bogus contests..and having your music critiqued from so called/ self proclaimed industry experts/ producers!! and all the other BS! ...and don't forget the cut-throats...who apparently dominate and own this site...every genre/sub genre..the ones who deliberately mis-categorize their music so it show's up in inappropriate genres. Then there are those who think they are going to be finally recognized and go straight to the Grammy's!! Need I say more!?...and there is plenty more! The little Wizards who own this site don't care either-proven time and time again while they rake in plenty of moola..$$$! Other than that Art...don't even ask me what I think about Bjam...you wouldn't want to know! Even though I'm a Classically trained pianist gave my all to progressive rock.....what the hell do I know anyway!?...and like I said...who gives a shit!? LMFAO! Sorry Art...it's one of those days! I have pain everywhere. feel miserable..cantankerous...irascible ...who name it. ...it's raining here(could be snowing so that's good)...very crappy weather...great for ducks!! Anyway...even though I'm having a bad day...I'm sticking to my story....and like they...."and that's that!!! You know Art...I've been on a mix of all kinds of chemicals including much harder stuff than you...and honestly ...with a day like today...I'd rather be slugging down some top quality tequila...laughing my ass off...because all that shit is nothing but sloppy bandaids that just fall off...you get the picture! We are getting older ...this is what it's supposed to be all about! Oh...lastly ...you state we're pen-pals ? / friends on Bjam!!...yet you don't send out an official friendship!?....interesting to say the least!! You know Art...you might be using something I should be-please do tell -in other words full disclosure!! Luv ya Artman!!..Luv THE COREYS".....keep on rocking-don't give up on the guitar-it's therapeutic !!!!!...and that's an order from little ole......TK!! "TOOTLES"....MUCH LUV...AND HIGH 5/5's!! TK
TK, I guess this is a Good Letter from you Sir.....never quite sure?? But I will take it, every last word!!!!! Sorry that you are in pain! I am doing a tad better in the Pain Catagory, but still uncomfortable! Boy, you always compose "War & Peace", when you write me a short note! Wish I could be that discriptive about everything I have to say, just don't think I'm that interesting when writing letters! Like you, I think Broad Jam is a Money Making bunch of BS and pretty much a waste of time for any Serious Musician, for me....it's just a place to hear one's Music all in one location!! So, you are a trained Classical Pianist....Wowza, you are the Real Deal, That is something!! Wish I had that title under my belt, that is very cool Sir!! Hope this reply warms the cold places in your Heart today.....Weeeeeee! Toodles, Art Corey.............
Art...you warmed me up brotherman......see how prompt I am when I'm sitting behind the imac and on Bjam!? "War & Peace"....yes...good ole Leo Tolstoy-a classic to read if you have the time! Much applies to today!! You'd never know about my Classical playing because BG was all about Progressive/Rock...odd metered timing. nothing Classical.....anyway...it was fun and a rather good diversion! A far cry from what I used to do! I'm actually a multi-instrumentalist...piano/keybo ards..drums..trumpet...a little acoustic guitar-and definitely not a lead vocalist- well if you remember ...I used to be with the "Statler Bros"...LMAO! However I'm contemplating recording some piano compositions that I had written decades ago...will see how it goes. Going to take some time and energy! Currently working with a rather good drummer-working on some progressive tunes however on a different pathway than the old BG stuff! I guess time will tell! All in fun- what music should be! Honestly I spend most of my time listening to the Classical and all its sub-genres...i.e. Baroque..Romantic...Neo-Classical .etc...and have connected with some really great superior pros...that put me in awe and inspire me! Then when I'm done with that...I spend some time doing some reviews- mostly for shit & giggles- however once in a blue you do come across some really good new & refreshing talent! Well at least you see where I stand on Bjam...doesn't mean much at least to me...and I'm not here for any recognition! Whatever BG has done...good bad or indifferent it doesn't matter to me what others say...most of them are all full of themselves...and actually suck......so I say....F--- em all!! Bjam should function that everyone supports & helps each other! Many years ago...believe me ...it was much different...a much better platform! Gone downhill for sure!! Like the old saying "opinions are like a-holes...everyone has one"-so true! LOL you know what I mean! I've come across some real pieces of work...laughing to myself....like you said ...and I say many times...serious musicians shouldn't waste their time on this site..if offers very little! And if you look closely enough...you will find that the really exceptional artists who actually write and play their music (using real instruments) are not really involved with this site! It's just a site they dumped some music for exposure and move on!! And like me they could care less what others say! Ok brother Art...all good! When I log on to this absolutely great site I look to see if I received any friendship requests-esp. from the Coreys!??- can you find out what's going on!? It must be the little wizards behind the scenes controlling everything....making all the $$$ and blocking friendships!!!....LOL It's raining like the end of the world here Art...but you did give some warmth!!...Bless ya brotherman!! Your Eternal Bjam buddy(have to say buddy...because I haven't as of yet received a friendship request) TK- or aka.......Tony Payne...or is it Paine??...not sure ...guess it depends on from where you're from!!!..................:)
Tony Paine, query.......the Sax player on our compositions, Jerry Peterson from the 80's Band Billy Vera & the Beaters, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HIS MUSICIANSHIP???? We think he was incredible, what's your take on this gent, before he passed from covid?? You were in the "Statler Bros", how long were you in that group.....were they Big Back Then??? They were Giant in the 70's weren't they? Art Corey......
OH!...OH!...my good ole Art..brotherman!!..."King of Coryville" and The Broad -jammers......if anyone is definitely consistent on not making any comments on my previous correspondence...then YOU WIN! HANDS DOWN!!.....:) I leave you a dissertation & a thesis(free of charge)...and all I get is ..."how is your sax player.?.."before he passed!??? I would say...he must've been very sick!! Poor guy!! Talk about posthumous accolades!! If you think he was incredible...then he was incredible! I trust your sense of judgement(with the exception of Friendship)....that is when your not popping...snorting or toking!! LMAO.. Well all I can say is...from what I remembered hearing in terms of your brass instrumentation you did have a rather good sax player(PATCH?) in your mixes. Although with today's computer wizardry, all the recording platforms/software i.e. things like Ableton Live 11...Pro-tools..Logic Pro X...FL Studio..Cubase..Reason..Studio One..Bit Wig..of which I own a few and access to a lot others..it can be very difficult for an trained & esp. untrained ear to tell a real player from a sampled one. So many artists on Bjam use all these cheap tools..many don't know a note from a hole in the ground and play no instruments-yet with some computer savvy they can create some pretty cool music! I happen to have a buddy who plays in a rather large band that is now celebrating 50 years in the bizz..there couldn't possibly be anyone better or comes close to what he can do playing the alto/tenor sax..trumpet..flugelhorn and trombone-also keyboards /guitar-all with expert precision...that's why they call him Doc! ( holds a doctorate in music)- Simply put Art...Fucking amazing!-Blows me and everyone away. I'm sure your guy was tops as well.. ...and there are plenty...actually mucho-mucho outstanding players out there who certainly don't get the recognition they should!! Amen! Artman...if you put on your thinking cap....you are the one who stated to me ...that I "sounded like the Statler Bros". when I sang your song "Waffle House"...I hope you remember that!? Ya know....come to think about it...I'm a little perplexed myself...since you said you loved my rendition and said if I can do some chorus lines/ harmony parts with myself that would be awesome! That was a very big chore to sing harmony to the unorthodox voicing and I didn't have the time to attempt using specialized software or asking my Doc friend to help me out! Anyway...you said you will give the mix to your recording engineer/producer? and he could add the harmony!?. Then you told me he couldn't do it!? Maybe you just didn't want to use my rendition? You didn't like it after all? Hmmmm... so you said it couldn't be done!? Well Art....a friend of mine who does that sort of thing says it could be done-but you gotta have the expertise and use the appropriate software combinations!! He's really out of my league. Anyway...you dissed me? WOW!!... really! OK....Art...you gyped me out of my spotlight doing a Corey tune! I don't know if I could ever forgive ya on that one good buddy!!??.LMFAO! Well....maybe I could...cause..."you're not a bad guy...really"!! I will say....I liked the way I sang it (especially for not being a lead vocalist) and to me it sounded much better than that lead vocalist you use or have used on a lot of your tunes. Being honest..He's not my cup of tea brotherman! When he sang it...it was like he was just reading and being bored at the same time! i It sounded plain...dull...with no emotion or inflections! So looking back in retrospect I feel somewhat slighted.....but...when it comes to you good ole Arthur...I just let it fall all into the abyss! So still luv ya man!! Now...here's a quandary and a query( 2 Q's) for you which I feel is extremely important & would appreciate your input! So...should it be Tony Paine??...or classic Payne!?? Gotta solve that one! Driving me nuts!! Tony Paine?/ Payne" P.S.- Lastly once again( Art-please put down the pipe or bong..or whatever)..you don't address the "FRIENDSHIP"?- If I don't receive a FRIENDSHIP request placed in my mayonnaise jar that's been sitting on Funk & Wagnalls porch since the last 3>4 correspondences @ 12 noon...you will inflict more Paine / Payne...and little ole TK will be hurt!!! Something to think about ole buttercup!!...LOL........XOXO
Tony Paine/Payne, I really don't know what the Hell this "Friendship" thingy thing is that you are talking about Sir??? Help me out?? And don't ever call me buttercup again.....Haaaaaaaaaaa!!!WTF?? I am also sorry that I let you down, when you were singing on our demo, I believe it was about the time Jerry Peterson Died and I was totally devastated, really fucked up!!! I am amazed that you can still be my friend?? I will look for the "FriendShip" thingy, where ever the "F" it is?????? Art Corey........... I like Tony Paine............
Tony Paine, I am dead serious not knowing about this "Friendship" thingy....don't you give-up on me because I didn't send you this request in this special Broad Jam format!!! Don't do it dude!! Jerry Peterson has played with tons of Famous People, Barbara Striesend (Spelling). He told me a story where Bab's stops a recording session and tells Jerry to play a section differently! Jerry tells Bab's, I don't tell you how to sing, so don't tell me how to play my saxaphone! Bab's storms back into the control room and starts crying to the engineer, the engineer tells Barbara to get over it and that it would cost far to much to replace Jerry at this point in time!! Look up Jerry Peterson, he has played on many famous Musician's records!! That's a huge feather in his cap! Oh, and for the Record..........I don't give a Shit about any artificial sounds, they are not the same, no matter how good they may sound, NOT THE SAME!!! Toodles, Art Corey.............
Tony Paine, guess you really aren't going to ever get back to me because of this "Friendship" request thingy from Broad Jam....if this is the case, it's been Great knowing you Sir!! Sorry to end our Great relationship over this Bull Shit issue, but guess that's that!! Toodles, Don't ever Change Art Corey.............
Tony Paine, I have asked 6 different people about how this"Friendship" request thingy works and no one knows how to do it??? You tell me how to submit it.......Paly!!!!!! And I will!! Art Corey.............
Hey...little ole-buttercup!!....try and take some advice that might be nice...and relax a little...way to hyper...maybe the chemicals! I actually just found these replies of yours!!..You can blame the a-hole wizards @ Bscam!! ...I had to go to my comments when usually I see them when I log in! Anyway...Bjam fn sucks. 24 years of this BS...shame on Paine.. ...too many crap things going on!! I think it's done on spite!! If you are interested in re-friending...all you have to do is visit MY PAGE ...you know....like you're always trying to send me to yours for some crazy reason. When you get there/ if you get there?(it's a long harrowing journey)...THERE IS A BUTTON THAT SAYS-***FRIENDHIP**..you can't miss it! I really don't know why you are having such a hard time...you do it all the time with so many others...that's common knowledge on this site-along with all the correspondences...it's an amazing soap -opera!! Who the F knows- maybe it's just me!??? Like you said...who gives a shit anyway!? Once again....I'm here!!!...haven't gone anywhere!!!....it's very easy to re-friend again..it's all up to you ...SIR!!!!!...YESSIR!! SIR SIR....SIR? ...Oh...I understand you like the Tony Paine version???...ok....if you wish..no worries! I don't care what you call me(God knows what you're calling me these days")....just don't call me late for a review...Sir!! Hope you're feeling ok maestro of the keyboard-you're my buddy in PAAINNE!!!..waiting for some more of your "KILLER MUSIC"...fire away- I'm listening!!! Plenty of the almighty & and so heavily sought-out #5/5's- I got a whole stack of them!!(you can get extras-just ask the Boad-scammers! I'm getting really tired of the few artists that seem to have thousands of their masterpieces clogging up every damn genre and subgenre....acting like little spoiled babies!!! I think they are at it 24/7...or maybe employ someone to do it for them?....Don't know where the F they're going....and I don't give 2 "Toodles" for that matter! I think there might be some competition out there to see how many placements they can take and screw everyone else...but that's just my take on it. Wtf do I know anyway-good ole Arthur!! Maybe they are paying more than average to become the King of Bjam!?? lmfao! Looking forward to becoming close allies again...you know ...like Putin & zelenskyy!!!........:) Much Love...."Toodles...Poodles" "Noodles and every other God-damn "Thinggy".....so there!!....................:) ....... Tony Payine( I think I'm battling "BJD" Broad-jammer depression)-LET'S ADD THAT IN TO THE NEW MIX!!!
Hey Mr. BroGreede, It's your Old/New Buddy again.........Art The Fart, that's what my fellow Class mates use to call me in Grade School, just before I'd kick there asses, Ahhhh those were the days!! Anyway, wrote you a letter awhile back and you didn't get back to me again, as usual........at least you are consistant!! So what have you been up to Sir?? What was your New Nick-Name?? I forget?? I am still recovering from my surgery.......5th week on no Pain Killers, midnight withdrawls, but finally getting better!! Don't try that shit at home, Bad JuJu!! How is your Pain doing, you still drinking thru your Pain?? I don't drink, so that wouldn't work for me!! If you have time, have a listen to some of my compositions and let me know what you think?? Our Killer Sax player Jerry Peterson, died from Covid about 4 years ago and that really messed with my mind and his too!! Hopefully, talk to you soon Dude!! Art Corey...................
Art...Mr. BroGreede??...really!? "Old/ New Buddy again"?? Art I hope you're not involved in drug smuggling or politics because you sound like it! And to set the story straight...I'm not into politics and simply despise it! You "wrote me a letter a while back"...and " I didn't get back to you-as usual"?? I can retrieve all our correspondences and forward them to you if you like! Maybe that will refresh your memory!? FYI... I most certainly sent you responses! I sent you a rather nice letter- of course it must have fell on deaf ears!? This is total nonsense and banter which I'm definitely not into!! I want you to go back and re-read my review of "Love At The Waffle House" on 02-03-25. Not only did I give a 5/5...in addition I specifically mentioned that you didn't appear receptive to ...once again ..being friends!? So again no response from your camp!? I'm "consistent"....absolutely yes I am....for being a friend despite you abruptly de-friending me and then fall into the abyss! I gave you yet another good review of "Ole Sole Mio"...on 01-18-25... where was I not a supportive friend! I would like you to clarify that! You know...I gave you my personal email...we exchanged tel. #'s and to my recollection...we were tight as Bjam friends!? So please tell me what the hell is going on!? I certainly don't appreciate any form of banter especially when these things are clearly untrue! You are asking me how I'm doing....so simply...no better...no worse...so that would be good I guess!?? Just dealing with pain...dysfunction...and trying to maintain clarity and sanity! That should sum it up! Thanx for asking! I'm hoping you continue to do well after the surgery and I'm proud of you that you're not using pain meds and braving it all! Wish I could say that! I'm here Art..I didn't go anywhere...I'm the same! If you really want to re-establish or renew our friendship...then reach out and send the typical Bjam friendship request! If that's what you would like...it's good with me...and of course I will accept! All of that is merely formality! There are a lot of things to discuss especially how Bjam is operating and how a lot of my contacts have the same concerns as I do! Things need to be addressed and unfortunately when I reached out to Bjam 2X they don't respond to valid customer concerns- so simply ...they suck. A money making machine and unfortunately an unfair platform. Hopefully you remember...I'm only on this site as an on-going tribute to my brother and other bandmate who both passed. So nothing else matters to me...except...listening to music and making some friends along the way!! Tony Payne
Dear Tony Payne, I don't think I am getting your replies Sir?? Seriously, don't ever remember seeing your reviews of our song "Waffle House" nor "Sole Mio"??? I am sorry that I didn't find them, maybe I am just a dumb shit and can't navigate the Broad Jam Site, which is possible?? Been know to be that dulard! So, please accept my appology! Let's start talking again, we have a lot to catch-up on! Respectfully, Art Corey.............
Tony, Thanks for the 5's and playlist add for "Space In Between". I've been taking a sabbatical from the music for awhile. The muse is on vacation. Still noodlin' on piano and guitar just to keep somewhat fluent, but lyrics seem to be evading me. Not that there isn't plenty of subject matter to be had...crazy world! Hope all is well with you, Your friend, Bill
Hi Anthony--Thanks for the friend request! I appreciate you taking your time to listen to my music. I listened to a few of your tunes (so far) and can hear your background in classical piano. You are quite an accomplished musician, I'm impressed with your musical skill and your song writing! It's nice to hear some new music, so thank you! I'm not great navigating on this site (I finally got used to how the old format worked and then they changed it) so if I miss something that is why. :-) Your cover art for My Angel reminds me of a scene from LOST. Don't know if you saw that show or not, but I instantly thought of it. That's cool that you wrote it as a tribute to Covid-19 health care workers. I wrote a few pieces during/inspired by Covid. They are "Spiraling out of Control" (written last week of March 2020), "Adrift" (midway through covid) and then "After the Storm" and "Bright Skies Ahead". Lots of inspiration (and time!) during Covid. I teach piano and violin lessons so I didn't have anyone for a while, until it was safe. Looking forward to more of your tunes! Jeana P (The Marie is in there because that is how it is with ASCAP so I use it when I release music on digital platforms).
Allison....love the video "It's Plain To See"........great song/ great video!!.......:) Tony Z
THANK YOU MY FIRST DUET
"Caged Lambs"....Nice brotherman!!....Well written /performed! This tune has the edge & attitude! Appreciate you trying to resurrect the Rock genre that's been dormant for a long time! Keep it coming- I'm listening!! Tony Keys-BG
Thanks Anthony, listened a lot to Living Colour and Sevendust, I guess that's where the inspiration comes from :)
YOU ROCK DAVE!!
Hello Sir, Thanks a lot for the multiple stars, much appreciated !
Sir?....lol....hey....please stop being formal.. you can reference me as TK(Tony Keys) if you like...My real name is Anthony....For a bro with 2 first names...yours is pretty cool indeed!! Reminds me of Sir Elton John...lol! You gotta call it when you hear it Dave!! Outstanding tunes deserve to be recognized! You've put out some outstanding intricate musical soundtracks that I've had the pleasure to listen to in the past. I personally think you're way beyond this site brotherman! And I wish you much musical success! If you ever find yourself listening to a BG tune again please listen with an open mind set! FYI BG is past tense-ended in 2011 when my brother suddenly passed...and 6 years later my other bandmate passed. A major double whammy-which turned my world upside down! So I remain on this site as a tribute to both of them-nothing more!! Not here for silly ratings...As you know music is nothing more than subjective! Bjam to me means only 3 things..my lasting tribute.....listening to & enjoying others musical talents and making some friends along the way-(the best one)!! That's it brotherman! There's so much talent out there it's mind boggling! Everyone deserves some recognition for their special talents-even if it's not in one's personal tastes or "cup of tea"!! I've been on this site for 24 years already-can't believe that! Just so you know-I would like to share this ...I have become disillusioned about how Bjam works and also saddened by how it's manipulated and used avariciously by others. I have legitimate concerns that need to be addressed by the owners! Unfortunately, after 2 contacts already it's falling on deaf ears...they haven't had the professional courtesy to address a customers concerns!? I haven't received a response to date and it's been over a month! Unprofessional to say the least! As to my concerns and to sum it up...it's all about being fair!!!...so every artist is treated equally & entitled to the same exposure! My concerns are actually concerns of many others as well! Unfortunately & sadly there are those artists that are all about themselves..dominate genres/subgenres...flooding in hundreds of tunes ...getting ratings of the same song over & over and in multiple sub-genres..deliberately mis-categorizing tunes in inappropriate genres..and there are more than this! This is not what Bjam should be all about! In my opinion...it's about musicians/upcoming and indie artists all helping & supporting each other-not being "cut-throat" & indifferent. This is total insanity and just so unfair! Plain and simple!! There are much better professional sites out there (hopefully you are on some) that offer a great platform incorporating fairness & exposure!! Sorry if I went off on a tangent! All you were doing is giving thanks-which I do appreciate...so thank you for reading all this. Looking forward to listening to more of your outstanding music-and wishing you continued musical success! Please consider a friendship-that also would be appreciated! Thank you Dave-you Rock!!! You're one of the best on this site!! If you would like to communicate for whatever reason and bypass Bjam please feel free to use one of my personal emails: skyhawk772@gmail.com (yes...I'm a pilot) Anthony Z-aka TK(Tony Keys)
Hey Anthony, Thanks for the insights, I'm still new to that game and I'm a slow learner ! I get your point regarding how BJ works. Some things are a bit weird but I'm not aiming for charts anyway, just trying to get music synched, so I don't really care who's first. There are all kinds of people here from very amateur to pro sounding musicians. I've reviewed some of your songs and as you probably noticed, I try to be as honest as possible (not to say blunt) and come up with constructive criticism. Otherwise what's the point ? I consider BJ as an opportunity to hear other's people music, help them to get better at what they produce with honest feedback whenever I can and get some tracks on air. Odds to have a track picked up seem rather low but at least everyone's get a chance. It's still better than what this business was 20 years ago when you needed to be part of an elitist club to get your music selected :) I appreciate your candor and again thanks for the stars. It's always nice to hear that what has come out of this little home studio, most of us have I guess, has at least found a receptive ear ! Take care, Dave
Hey Dave...thanx for reaching out! I couldn't agree with you more! I guess what my overall point was that I've seen so much negative change in terms of the way it was on Bjam way back 20+years ago that I'm a little down on some issues. Probably even more so that when voicing my concerns & offering some advice for being a paying musician no one appears to care which is disheartening! Anyway...all said...and moving on! Wishing you continued musical success!! Anthony Z
Hey Zack-attack!!!.lol....I listened to all your posted songs!!...simply amazing! You're very talented and distinct which sets you apart from a lot of other performers! Your music is different!!...very powerful...well written and performed with passion/ attitude -it's noted in all your compositions! I've become an instant fan! God bless you brotherman!! You are the real deal!!!...:)
Thanks for the positive vibes. Checking out your stuff now, and so far I'm digging every tune! Keep up the great songwriting!
Zach-attack!!...just heard your "Singing Sweetly"in the review mechanism...and yes...."very sweet it is". Really love what you're putting out! It's about time that the Country & subgenres got a wake-up call and a taste of some really good refreshing talent! Rock-on brotherman! Anthony Z
thanks for the stars
Allison....you're the best!!...You Rock!!!!
thanks hun
Hey Bro! Thanks much for the stars on the instrumental version of No More Seesaw! Much appreciated! Stay safe, Warren
Hi Warren.....much deserved brotherman! I've been all over Bjam and come across your music. ....very diversified...well written/arranged & performed- nothing better!! Kudos!!!.......Rock on!! Tony Z
Hey BroGreede, it's the Corey's remember us??? Saw you been reviewing several of our songs and giving us Good reviews, thanks for the positive reviews, that is so cool! Hope you are doing well!! I am actually recoving from a Major Low Back surgery and am into it 4 months so far!! Hope you are doing well, know you have physical problems yourself! You Know this getting old stuff.....really Sucks!! Love to hear from you and rekindle our musical conversations............ Toodles, Art Corey..............
The Corey's???hmmmmm!...Oh yes!!...I was wondering what ever happened!? Thought we were tight.....like peanut butter & jelly!! All of a sudden...You were gone- de-friended me to boot!!...then went scidattle!! Gone with the wind! I thought to myself- "hey maybe they finally made it"! Got a big recording deal and hit the big time! Well anyway maybe you just missed me!?? ...lol...Well...all I can say is ...welcome back!! Art...heard you had another back surgery!...I hope all is going well! I wish you all the luck and a speedier recovery! As for me...well... I'm alive thank the man upstairs(or is it Fred upstairs?-lol). After Thanksgiving suddenly fell majorly ill...thought it was a very bad influenza and waited 4 days before going to ER. Pain everywhere...in joints...muscles...G.I.pain with distention & severe sensitivity.....chronic diarrhea...fever...uncontrollable shaking and started hallucinations on the 3>4th day! ! Thought I was dying! Couldn't stand or walk any considerable distance. Wife said you're going to the hospital. Anyway...it's getting to be a long story! I was Dx'ed with Infectious Colitis and Sepsis...placed in isolation...IV antibiotics..you name it. All tests came back neg. for a bacterium! So it was viral! The lesson here is no more raw seafood...clams etc!! Symtoms started about 2-1/2 days after Thanksgiving buffet dinner! Believe it or not...still not 100%. And as you remember I'm suffering from chronic LBP/ D.I.S.H. disease! So there you have it! Yes...getting older blows!!!! No one is immune and we certainly don't get out alive! Enough of all this doom & gloom! Welcome back Coreys! I will tell you something.....when you left....just about all the good music left! I've been so down on it-really nothing good going on! It's the same ole...same ole...from the same ole-same ole! Depressing at least! So with open arms....I give you a great big hug-amundo! and look forward to hearing some Corey magic!! Hopefully you can resurrect this site because it's dying slowly!! Tony Z
Tony, your shit sounds way worse than mine!! You think it was from Food poisoning.....Clams and what-nots??? I never eat that Shit ever.....anything uncooked, no-way Josay.....Bad JuJu!! I have been on Tramadal for 2 years and have slightly become addicted to that pain Killer without realizing it.....My Bad!! You just don't realize how easy taking that Damn stuff can get, it takes the pain and every thing else away, all the worries of the world, feeding the Damn Cat, Paying Bills, taking baths, shaving, GETTING UP!! What The F@#$???? You get the picture!! But Good News....It is the Fifth Day that I have been off Tramadal! I took another medication called Lyica for pain and it just Blasted me into Highper Space, it's not a narcotic though. The dose was accidently far to high at 150 Mg, should have been 25 Mg......some one messed up!! Anyway, I am still goofy from the over dose, but that over dose, got me off the Tramadal....It's a God send!! The Lord works in mysterious ways and I don't even believe in him....Hmmmmm Bummer! Maybe I should reconsider his existance?? Well, send me your direct Broad Jam Site, I don't care for this Back Door Pass word contact secret stuff, it dangerous in this New World Order..... Art Corey
Hello Arthur!!!..I wouldn't go saying my condition is worse than yours! You had 2 back surgeries! I'm sure it's bad! Yup...you hit it on the head!..Vibrio- .food posioning! Believe that!? Never in my life and with something I really love to eat! Well anyway...no more! Not even sushi at the Chinese restaurants! That chapter came to an end! Tramadol?...that's a very light opioid for most people. They start with that! When I started pain management that's what I was put on! I didn't say anything-went along with the program but I already knew better-it did nothing for my level of pain. Then I went on oxycodone. It does help but more like a bandaid taking the edge off-that's all. I don't have the "addictive personality" like others do. I can stop taking it at will for days and weeks. No problems. So that's how I manage. Depends on my pain tolerance-and I take it day by day! In addition to 3 other daily meds that's how I deal with my pain! Even the other ones which are prescribed 2-3X/day I use when I want-not religiously. My pain Doc knows I know too much and understands why I do what I do. Who the hell wants to be taking all this crap everyday?.....doesn't change anything -that's for sure. You mentioned Lyrica?....yes....that's actually been on the market for decades-but it does help with some people. If you don't need the tramadol...don't take it...good for you!. Take it as you need it like I do with the Oxy. Sometimes I just say fuck it and have some shots of my top shelf tequilas- actually works better than pain meds to me...lol...and at least I get happy! I've been good-nodrinking since Thanksgiving! Pain meds don't make you happy...just screw up the head! God?....well...who knows...could be an alien?...that I would believe....but at least it's something to believe in!? We sure as hell didn't just appear out of thin air! Gotta be some explaination. Thing is ...we will never know! Probably better off that way! When you left Bjam and decided to south our friendship connection also left!?? When we originally became friends we communicated through that! It's up to you if you want to send me a friendship link again. No worries....here is fine as well.I understand you also had some difficulty trying to get back into Bjam! Art...be careful with a lot of these so-called / self -proclaimed producers and music wizards. Most of them are all full of shit and are just regular paying members like we are! I've always said Bjam is a nice platform to meet people and listen to indie music but there are some good sites that are better suited for getting your music out there and being heard...for a price that is! I don't care about any of that. I could care less about what people think of the music I have posted here...it's old and it's nothing more than a tribute to my late brother! That's it! Don't expect to go anywhere...don't want to! Just having fun! I have become disillusioned and frustrated knowing a handful of artists seem to dominate the entire site. Everyday their music is on their main genres and occupy all the subgenres. Some of the same songs on different subgenres. Is it fair that you give someone a 5/5 for the same song that's deliberately placed on all the subgenres!? and is it fair if you have 300>400 songs to have most of them playing (which seems automatically)...24/7!? I don't see any of them doing ratings to that degree to have that many on the review mechanism!? There are a lot of disturbing things happening and I reached out to Bjam about it. Haven't heard a word back as of yet! I personally don't think anyone gives a shit as long as you're paying every month. It's all BS......I spend less time on Bjam than before...I rate as I see fit...and I might just let it go at some point! Bjam is nothing more than a money making deal! All the submission BS...that you have to pay for...all the rigged contests! I could go on & on! Anyway....I'm here Art! It's nice to chat...get caught up...whatever you want to do is fine with me! If you want to resend a friendship link...cool! We can have fun supporting each other again and screw everyone else! Seems like no one gives a shit unless they get their almighty 5/5....lol......bunch of babies!!! Oh yeah....5/5 on broadjam will really get you somewhere...it's called tit for tat!!!...lmao! Your friend in constant pain.I even changed my name...I need your opinion...it's either Tony Pain....or Tony Paine!??( I think I like the latter!?...what say you Art! Should I be bold enough to say....Toodles!???....lmao!! TZ
Art...all this typing forgot to ask you how you're doing with those horrible wildfires out there! I'm assuming ok!?...because you seem to be further away from it! Thank the man /Fred Upstairs! Unbelieveable to say the least. Feel so bad for all those people who lost everything! Just doesn't seem right! Gov't better get their act together-this is inexcuseable!!! Tony Paine
Hey Tony Paine, sounds pretty cool to me! Like you....I think most of the stuff on Broad Jam is Money driven, so whatever?? Let's just be friends again and enjoy life and what's left of it!! I actually think the whole Music Industry is in Major decline and no one should really give a Shit....just my personal take!! The Big Acts due Concerts, make Big Money and that's the name of that tune!! There is no more little Guy songwriter's, Zip, Zilch!! Notha!! It's Over!! The Music Game has ended, the train has left the station, Bye, Bye!! Get the Picture Duh!! Sorry to be so negative!! You are right about me being away from the fires Thank God, just miles though!!! Stay Safe and off the Drugs and I will do the Same and we will try and meet in the middle, Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Art Corey..........................
Hey Tony Paine, So did you know that Roy the owner of Broad Jam has a Police Record with a Felony I believe??? He's done some questionable things in his life, so he's no Angel!!! Oh and what ever was said about me, needs to be said as a Misdeminar, 43 years ago....So Get over it people!!! Art Corey.....................
Tony Paine, Read my text Dude!! So I can deleat it.....after you have read it!! AC....................
Another good one on Future Generations! Love the Sound effects at beginning and end! Sweet! Keep Crankin Bro! catnip=+=
Hey Thanx Pat..."Happy New YEAR" to you & family! I was getting worried about you! I sent you an email on 12-06-24...and saw you haven't read it yet!? Maybe you don't use the email!? Anyway...I sent it giving you a thank you on another BG tune! I think it's important that you know BroGreede came to an immediate halt when my brother passed in 2001. 6 years later my other bandmate passed as well. A real double whammy which rocked my world! There's only 3 reasons I remain on Bjam: to keep the memory of my brother and other band mate alive, listen to music & appreciate all the talent and to make a few friends along the way. I'm carrying the torch you would say! I'm not on Bjam for any other reason! Amen! My brother put us on Bjam in 2001...now going on 24 years!! I continue on in my own way. I have a drummer now who has joined me and I'm hoping to get back to some recording of tunes I've had on the back burner for many many years! Probably go in some different directions from BroGreede! Wish us some luck. Thanx for listening-that's all that matters to me!! Wishing you continued musical success-put more of your music on the review que-so I can give you some nice grades!! Tony Z
Hey Pat...you listened to BG's "Annabelle"....the offbeat you are referencing especially in the intro is a progressive meter. (10)..which I would'nt think you would be familiar. 4/4 meter is very basic in most music especially of the past and definitely not in the progressive genre. Most Rock is written in common time and is predictable and gets boring! I love playing in odd meters because it can be challenging, takes a special ear and skill and can add flavor & attitude in progressive music!! Thanx for giving a listen!! TZ
Sorry Pat I made a big mistake...my brother passed in 2011-not 2001!.Sorry!! TZ
Hey guys thanks for stopping by for a listen and the endorsement, very cool. Hope you like what you heard, you have some killer tracks, I dig what you cats a laying down. All the best. Scott/Ravensong
Hey Barry...been a while...first off ...A very Happy ...Healthy..& Prosperous New Year to you and your family. I saw a comment that you updated some news so I gave a look and here I am. I'm looking forward to listening to your new stuff coming out and wish you a lot of luck! Always appreciated your talent and I'm sure whatever you put out it's going to be great!! I have to say... Bjam has been in a real funk in the past couple months! Nothing new and exciting...so.. same ole...same ole... Let's get it back on track...you are certainly an artist that can do just that!!! Wishing you continued musical success!! Tony Z-BG
All I can say is Wow! Music, Lyrics, Balance, Energy, Flow. I would love to connect with you, for advice for a up and coming like myself. Love what I hear.
I have been meaning to get here sooner, holidays and all. But I wanted to say thank you for the 5 Star Ratings on my music like Mangos Crackers and Milk, Prophecy and others. Truly motivating.
Hey Numinous...thanx for the nice comments & positive energy-it's appreciated! You have some good stuff brotherman!...definitely on the right track! You offer something new and refreshing to Bjam -which is very cool. I say...yes to it...a friendship is very cool...we can help each other-that's what it's all about! I'll shoot ya a request...and the rest is history!!! Wishing you and your family a very Happy...Healthy..and prosperous New Year- and also welcoming you to the Bjam platform!!
