Thanx Bob. We had a big 4th of July party here yesterday and guess what. It rained. I'm glad you liked the song.

Bob, thanx for bumping this up. Somehow I missed it. Christ, I really liked the backing band on this one. That percussion and violin were fantastic. The AI vocal was good but I thought that it is to upfront; but that is only my opinion. The lyrics were great, half dragon, half dragonfly - brilliant. Super mix Loved it.

Re: New update gives me CORRUPTED file when instaling Jim Fogle 2 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows
The program might have updated to build 1247 but evidently at least one of the supporting files is corrupt. I still advise deleting the update installation file you presently have, download a fresh copy from the PG Music website and install the fresh copy.

Re: Enough Rain Already Janice & Bud 3 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Wild weather everywhere. Record heat here and a drought. Wish you could've sent us a bit of that rain! We always love a fretless (big Jack Bruce fans). And you sound great on yours as does your flute and horns. We watch a lot of relaxation nature films on YT. This would be perfect background music for them. Enjoyed it! J&B

Re: Nova Dream ~ bossa fusion? eclectic bossa? Janice & Bud 3 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Wow man, do you meet up with those BiaB session guys in person? smile That band is so cohesive. And that guitar solo -- you pay Brent a little on the side? And the panpipe was a great choice. As was the idea of a bossa groove. The mix sounds fine on our monitors. Subtleties and dynamics galore. Well done and a treat to listen to! J&B

Man, Chay, you are so good at writing and producing these wonderful instrumentals.
Thanks, Marty! I was actually surprised that the spaghetti guitar worked so well.

Thanks, Scott! Very much appreciated. Though none of my posts are mastered as I don't have the room for new programs on my PC - I desperately need a new one with at least 2TB space, preferably 4 - so I'm mostly envious of the quality that others get, including yourself.

Very relaxing instrumental. As ever your work on the Swam instruments and fretless bass is excellent. Seasonally the music conjured both spring and autumn for me, though with a little bit of snow at one point.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
