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!

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, 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...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?

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??????

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!!!

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!!

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,
