Heard this on the early morning news. No conclusions, just the facts.

1. Dr. Dre at $110 million, based partly on sales of his Beats brand headphones.
2. Roger Waters at $88 million, based partly on his "The Wall" tour.
3. Elton John. I missed the amount because my jaw was hanging at Roger's accomplishment. I knew he was doing okay, but . . . erm, my goodness. I didn't know that music was still that lucrative.

How about a list of the Bottom top-earning musicians. I know I am on that list, likely tied for first place with many, as I earned zero dollars from my music in 2012

Then perhaps we need a list of the Top Spending Musicians. How much did you spend in 2012 on your music?

Elton John is a British musician $320 million. he began his long-standing collaboration with songwriter Bernie Taupin. he and Taupin signed a $39 million, twelve-year contract with Warner Bros. Records, the largest advance in recording history. I got this from a website that I found about Elton John. So about $359 million

The thread is about this years earnings, not net worth. Of course, this latest Powerball Lotto at $550 mil puts them all to shame...

I read recently where most of Dr. Dre's income is the licensing for the headphones. Which, I must say, are awful sounding. I am biased in this opinion, but I stick by it.

Nobody has yet been able to explain to me what "Beats" is supposed to be, though my HTC phone has it. Everything has a "beat" including my heart.

And surely nobody will convince me that those headphones are worth $359 unless they are delivered by a hooker driving a food truck.


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

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

You're putting me in a good mood this morning, Eddie. Great line.

Gee, is that all?

Just a few weeks ago I'm surfing around Youtube and found a full 2 hour concert in hi def with Elton and Billy Joel. Great show.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
