For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I have been alive for the hottest day ever in Cleveland (108 - and I played a gig that night!) and the coldest day ever in Cleveland (-21 - and I was in college then and went to classes!!), served in Vietnam, AND saw The Beatles perform AND The Browns win the NFL championship in the same year (1964) when I was already a teenager.

So I'm gonna go with "Yeah. I think I'm old." for 200, Alex...


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

My earliest memory was of my mother telling "me not to bother that man over there because he was really old." He was the son of an American Civil War Veteran. (And, yes, he was really old.)

I am thinking we had that "talk" about August 1960. He lived 4 more years after that.

I should mentioned that dad married a very young wife - so the numbers do work.

Sad but true.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

When I read people misusing "ever" I feel really old.
Cleveland will feel more than 42C soon enough. I've experienced it in the classroom.
It's an high temperature but nothing unusual in almost all of Australia. Tasmania is reasonably close to the Antarctic and peaked at 42C in 2009. I've experienced it in the classroom - myself and 30 odd children in a tin box. It was a little cooler outside. 50.7C was the peak in Western Australia in 2019.
-29C is something I've not experienced to date.
I'm not old enough, nor likely to live long enough, to use ever sincerely in a sentence unless I'm writing fiction.
I do wonder how we coped before air conditioning. I remember, in the mid 60s, when the 1st shopping mall/centre in greater Sydney opened & proudly advertised that it's constant temp was 72f/22C. People drove their families miles to experience it. I didn't experience it in a home/house/residence until the mid 90s.At work it wasn't until the 2010s.
I watched the Beatles arrive in Sydney, live via the television.
Experienced the wonders of the brand new public sewage system in he suburbs, watched the moon landing, live on B&W television in a classroom in 6th grade.
The slate & chalk replaced by paper & pencil, ball point pen replacing the nib & inkwell...I wish it'd be a year sooner...Dollar Bill teaching us about the conversion to decimal currency for the 14th February, 1966 and the logical step of moving to the metric system of measurement a couple of years later.
I'm old, and seemed even older to my students, but I don't feel it most days. My time will come.

enmam, with today's wonderful pharmaceuticals and knowledge about nutrients and exercise if you follow what the Dr. says, you'll be in good shape. Take inspiration from the centenarians and keep the music going.

OK, I "hear" my treadmill calling me . . . . gotta run smile

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.

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
