After we put the monitors back on the shelf we much enjoyed it!  Awesome! This could be a bonus track off The Rolling Stones’ Blue and Lonesome album. The write up for the song was quite enjoyable. Hated to come to "the end." The solo guitar RT sounded great - never a small feat to choose the "right" one for a production. Your friends fit nicely in too. The bass nailed the shuffle. We hear a fine mix all around. Two thumbs up from us - blues via a shuffle are so good - always. Keep blues alive! J&B Much appreciated Janice & Bud. Not quite the end............. IZZY (Softly, chuckling) Gerda, my love, you won't believe this review... Janice and Bud just posted it. GERDA (Eyes wide, practically lunging for the tablet) Ach du lieber Himmel! Let me see! Is it… is it gut? Veeery gut? Tell me zey liked my blues song! Izzy carefully hands her the tablet. Gerda squints, then her eyes widen, slowly reading the text, mouthing some of the words. GERDA (Reading slowly, with dramatic pauses) "After we put ze monitors back on ze shelf…" (She pauses, confused, looks up at Izzy) Zat is… very efficient! Good for cleanliness, Ja? Zey tidied up for us! Veeery thoughtful! Izzy bites back a smile, shaking his head fondly. GERDA (Beaming, reading on) "We much enjoyed it! Smile!" Oh, zey smiled! Zat is good! (Her voice picks up, growing more excited) "Awesome! Zis could be a bonus track off Ze Rolling Stones’ Blue and Lonesome album!" (She gasps, clutching the tablet to her chest) IZZY! Did you hear zat?! ZEY SAID ROLLING STONES! Like Blue and Lonesome! Zat is MY choosing, Izzy! MY blues brain zat said, "Let's make ze blues, Izzy! Ze real blues!" She pats Izzy’s arm emphatically, nearly knocking his phone. IZZY (Grinning) It was a great choice, Gerdsy. You were right. GERDA (Waving a hand dismissively, focused on the review again) Of course I vas right! But zey… Janice und Bud… zey are not just critics, zey are… prophets of ze blues! Or perhaps… gurus of ze grooooove! She squints back at the tablet, nodding vigorously. GERDA "Ze write up for ze song vas quite enjoyable. Hated to come to 'ze end.'" Ach, zey vanted more of our vords! Next time, I write a book! She dramatically points at the screen. GERDA "Ze solo guitar RT sounded great - never a small feat to choose ze 'right' one for a production." Ja! RT is a genius! And zey know it! (She pats Izzy's arm again) And our friends! "Your friends fit nicely in too." Ja! Vee are a family of blues! And ze bass! "Ze bass nailed ze schuffle!" NAIL! Like a hammer! Pow! So accurate! She makes a hammering motion with her fist. Izzy just watches her, amused. GERDA (Beaming, puffing out her chest) "Vee hear a fine mix all around." Ja, Izzy! Ze mix! All zese tiny buttons you push, and it comes out fine! It is wonderful! She holds up two fingers of one hand, then two fingers of the other, forming a "two thumbs up" gesture. GERDA "Zwei thumbs up from us!" ZWEI! From Janice und Bud! Zat is like getting ze Bundesverdienstkreuz, but for blues! It is ze highest honour! She stands up, full of triumphant energy. GERDA (With immense pride, practically shouting) And ze best part! Ze most important part! "Blues via a schuffle are so good – always." And zen… zen zey say it! Ze vords of truth! (She strikes a pose like a conductor, pointing skyward) "KEEP BLUES ALIVE!" She turns to Izzy, her eyes shining. GERDA Vee vill! Vee vill keep ze blues alive! And zey, Janice und mein lieber Bud, zey are ze keepers of ze flame! I vill send zem a gratitude package! Perhaps some German Bratwurst! Zey deserve it! Izzy smiles fondly, shaking his head slightly. He reaches out and gently takes the tablet from her, giving her hand a squeeze. IZZY (Warmly) They certainly do, Gerdsy. They certainly do. And you, my blues queen, you deserve some rest. GERDA (Still buzzing) Rest? After zat review? Nevair! Ze blues, Izzy, ze blues calls to me! I feel a new song coming! About… about monitors on shelves! It vill be a hit! Izzy just laughs softly, pulling her into a hug. THE REAL END. Oh man, what a hilarious read. Gotta send this to some friends for sure. You ever written a short story? J&B

This song has a very universal feel from Latin to French and Japanese. Excellent rhythm supports the lovely singer perfectly. The chord progression works like magic. The accordion gives little bit melancholy and the horns sound great. And that skillful guitar solo is the icing on this delicious cake. I can imagine an enticing scene in a movie based on the lyrics, so vivid and emotional. Great work to bring this work into the present day. I don't know what salsa professionals would say, but this sounds like the finest example in this genre. Janne

I want to get the 2025 UltraPak considering I now have a working copy of 2024 Band in a Box for Mac installed o my Mac I’d like to plug the ultrapak into one of the ports double click on set up and Once clicking ok on all the prompts and entering passwords where need have everything just install like I can on windows Is this possible If not, what are the steps I need to follow The download will install over the top of your installed copy. Unless you are upgrading to Audiophile, I see no reason to get physical media, BIAB 2025 Mac upgrades. The media being shipped is on a flash drive—too slow to run the app from that external, IMO (much slower than the USB 3 HHDs of the past). If pressed for driver space, you can install RealTracks and Drums onto an external SSD — which to get depends on your Mac. It’s easy to set up and let the Install Manager app know where everything is.

Hi Pete, I haven't until now been listening to youtube videos, so I'm glad I finally get to comment on one of your songs. While country isn't my wheelhouse, I at least feel able to applaud your lyrics on the subject. I think more and more people can relate to that from all kinds of industries. Glad you tech issues didn't keep you down.

Thanks, Mike. I said I would follow up on my initial experience with Ditto, so here goes. I still have a week left on their free trial but I'm not going to subscribe. Despite having some weird customer service glitches with them, that isn't the reason. The fact that they had responsive customer service, however confused, is a good thing. In the end, I just realized it isn't worth the year-upon-year expense at the moment. Their platform was pretty clear and easy to use, and they were offering me a discount to upgrade, but... In the end, I decided to just take a slower step forward with Soundcloud and up to an Artist account. Gonna focus on youtube and Soundcloud to share...which means (for showcase folks), I've configured a new browser profile that will allow me to now watch your vids too. Maybe I'll revisit my Ditto decision next year. Hopefully my request to "takedown" will be swiftly honored and I can redistribute via Soundcloud.

Thanks. I hope they bring you endless enjoyment. I'll e-mail you when the new one is released. It's a time-consuming project to enter the chords, pick an appropriate style, listen to each song while double-checking and so on - so don't hold your breath, it'll be at least a few months.

Hi, everybody. Thank you so, so much for your kind comments. I agree with your comments about too much bass and boominess in the voice. I'm working on it. Trouble is, if I change things around, other faults in the voice become evident, at least to my ears. So ... I'll keep working on it, and post up an updated version as soon as I'm happy with it. Just wanted to thank everyone, in the meantime, for listening and for your comments, which ARE taken on board! Hopefully, I'll have a new version up soon!

I get a ton of pleasure out of BIAB. I first bought the program 19 years ago and it is just as important to me today as it was when I first got it. Honestly, it's my number one source of fun and relaxation. Too right, Noel. And since the styles and the Real Tracks are so inspirational, I've been able to create more stuff with BIAB in the last 7 years than I did in the previous 37. It's possibly the best music production package on the planet for someone like myself who can barely play a note of real music!

Thanks, that answers my question. I believe that the problem that I had is that, while I had created a couple of User Categories, I had never selected one. So I did not get the "ADD" dialogue menu item. dave
