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!
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

Many appreciations as always from across the pond Polyphonic Clair
Hey TK, Thanks for the 5 Stars on Shot From The Backseat ! That's an older one that's deep on the list... I really appreciate you taking some t8ime to browse and listen!! Be and stay well, Frank
Hi Tony Many Thanks for the 5* Polyphonic Clair
REX.....very simply....YOU ROCK BROTHER!!...YOU RULE!!! "Wouldn't You Like To".....I said Yes!!!...I would like to give the highest accolades for one of the best musicians on Bjam!!!..Luv ya brother Rex!!!!! Your fan, TK
Coming from someone who rrocks himself, that is meaningful, and I am certainly grateful for your friendship. THANK YOU, SIR!! :-D
Rex.....what you said means an awful lot to me!!! ...This is what Bjam is all about....musicians supporting fellow musicians and making some wonderful friendships along the way. Not only are you a very talented musician you are a gentleman of class & high intellect! We need more people like you in this world. I'm extremely delighted that we have connected and become friends. Not necessary to call me "Sir"...but I surely appreciate it very much. I guess that's because you are a "class individual"...and you can take that to the bank...Sir Rex!!!!!! Tony Keys
Hi Patty.....just stopping by to say thank you for your very kind rating of BroGreede's "Don't Matter Anyway"....it's a pretty old tune going way back and certainly not one of my personal favs. Anyway....I appreciate you taking the time to give a listen! There are more ...if you want to call more recent tunes you may want to listen to and they have all been on Top 10's lasting a long while...i.e. "Rise Up My Angel"-a tune I felt compelled to write during the Covid -19 Pandemic- a tribute to all the healthcare & essential workers- who are the real heroes..... "Annabelle"- a special tune for me since it was near the end of BroGreede and my brother sang it before he suddenly passed....and "White Pass"...the very last song that I was assigned to sing by my brother while he was away on vacation....he never heard the final take with me singing-he passed that next day! I lost my other bandmate about 6 yrs. after my brother. As you can see sadly ...BroGreede had a series of unfortunate events! I'm the last original/ founding member and all I'm doing is carrying the torch-sort of speak- and the memories of my dear brother and other bandmate! It's been a real long rough ride. We have been members on Bjam since 2001 so I'm here just for those reasons-nothing else. I'm proud of what we did...good or bad..... We were robbed of time ...we had much better plans...it was all exciting! BroGreede simply was 2 brothers coming together who had the same passion for creating their own music-and because of this we became closer than ever! At least that was a blessing! Sorry to tell you all this...hope I didn't give you a headache!? And Thank you once again for being so kind! Please accept a friendship-that would be appreciated. And while I'm here ...I will give a few listens to your music!!...........:) God Bless, Tony Keys-BroGreede
I friended you! ??'?
Hi Douglas....Just stopping by to give ya a big "THANK YOU" for your kind review of BroGreede's "Annabelle". This song has a special place in my heart because it's one of the last tunes my brother sang before he passed suddenly back in 2011. BroGreede has a rather long and depressing history. It basically started out in 2001...just me(all instruments-keys-head songwriter) and my brother( lead vocalist /drummer). We were joined by my brother's good close friend/roomie 1/2 way through our 3rd. album who was a schooled multi-instrumentalist(guitar...bass ...keyboards..etc.). He also passed away suddenly ~ 6 years after brother. So...henceforth...now it's only me. My brother and I joined Bjam way back in 2001. When my brother died BG was essentially dead as well. The last band member and me just kept getting together-playing together and keeping memories alive. There is more to the story ...but I don't want to bother you with all that! I'm on Bjam just carrying the torch, keeping memories alive-and making some nice friends along the way! Please accept a friendship-that would be appreciated! Thanx in advance Douglas. Now I'm going to sit back and give some of your tunes a good listen!!!! Thank you for listening!!!! Tony Keys- BroGreede
Tony thank you for the background of the song. So sorry for the loss of your brother. Family is everything and the people we make music with as well. Annabelle - lives with your brother in time. I really enjoyed the song. it is a goood one. My song - people places and things live version, and the rant, and this beautiful country, feature Herc Fede (swirlies guitar finishes). on guitar. He passed away suddenly of heart attack years after being a Dave Mathews cover band in PA (one of the best). The drummer on those tracks Ed Mc Grogan - one of my best buds took his own life after some years of depression. I was really heartbroken. When he was up here and we saw a concert in New Milford featuring Joe Bouchard and Dennis Dunaway - Ian Hunter was there. Ed went right up to him and we talked for a few minutes and told him how much we appreciated him as an artist and his music. I live in CT and am still composing and have several new tunes I am juiced about (not yet recorded). It has been a hard journey as I lean toward alternative an punk and I am aging and most of my local friends are blues and folk. Love them also. I will jump back on and listen to some more of your catalogue thank you for reaching out. I consider you a new music friend and appreciate you! Douglas B - aka dB +1 860.248.0070
Hey Doug....thanx for getting back to me! Wow..I guess you've had a pretty rough road as well...Herc & Ed...unbelievable! Yes it cuts in...and cuts deep. The scars never go away-that's for sure! I completely understand! Hey good ole Ian & Mott The Hoople....cool stuff-that's wayyyy back!!I've met ba lot of famous players to date actually too many to mention...the last one being Dave Mason-was always a Mason fan!I'm looking forward to hearing more of your new music. Please feel free to send me when available so I could get a heads up listen. Also thanks for the tel. #...maybe we could text / call whatever -to stay tight-that would be cool. Lastly I have a sound-prroof recording studio on my premises- It's the ultimate man-cave for sure. It's rather large for a music studio. Essentially a house within a house ...totally soundproofed in every way...soundboard ...acoustic tiles throughout. State of the art lasers including 3-d...leds....special effects...evn fog for those special moments! A fully stocked bar with high-end liq....which I made special...including incredible ornaments...special lighting. Various instrumentation -including about 12 guitars...a couple basses..a couple acoustics....Roland custom V digital drums....Pearl acoustics (91)....6 major keyboard including some vintage! Pushing everything through older tech- which was the indie at the time!....Roland VS-1880 18 TR. -record right to CD ( the old method)...and I still believe one of the best! I'm currently working with a drummer from one of the older time big bands on Long Island..Naked truth-celebrating their 50th. year! Still playing seasonally! I have a lot of tunes-been on the back burner for many years-hopefully get them finally done! Would be nice! Hey bro...thanx for your tel . # and you should know you have an open invite anytime your on the island....just give a heads up!!! your brother in music, Tony Keys-BG
Hi Tony, Thanks for the 5's and PL for "Coast City". Partly true with a few embellishments... Bill
Hey Bill...you rock bro!!..you're still the "king of the hill" as far as I'm concerned. Without the Jazz genre and occasional good rockers Bjam gets pretty boring to say the least! Same ole...same ole!!! Thanx for providing some of the best music I've heard!!!! Bless your Jazz soul brother Bill!!! Tony Keys-BG
