Hi Mike,

It certainly starts out with hints of Joplin scattered through the piano presentation. Nice.

I was so used to the straight feel with which you began that when the style changed, it really made me sit up and pay attention. It's very clever how you took straight ragtime and mixed it with a dash of swing and ended up with 6/8 (or maybe 12/8, depending on how its viewed). Creative composing!

You entertained me!

All the best,
Noel

Hi, Mike...

(you might consider bolding your title or

Putting It On A Line By Itself

...to set it apart some. Some folks might have a bit of trouble finding it as it is - we ain't gettin' any younger, you know smile )


I liked what you did - it was interesting. But it kept occurring to me that the soloing piano and the right hand honk tonk rhythm were in the same general area - and the tones and levels were different... so it seemed like two pianos - sort of colliding. I could be wrong, of course - not really my "sound area"...

Very entertaining.
Floyd is right with his remark
about the pianos.

Interesting mix of styles - especially the addition of the tuba.

I liked how the piano bookended the song, and I was a bit surprised at the tuba et al at the fade. It kept me guessing all the way through!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks Rob, Guenter,David for listening, and Floyd, I would take your advise about the bolding of the title. believe me I know all about getting older! And I see what you mean about the pianos maybe fighting each other but, how's to say that there were not two pianos? Good observation. Thanks for listening.

Mike B.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
