If anybody was planning to write a song like "What If The Mayans Are Right", you'd better hurry....
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.

Too late... It was the 21st an hour and 35 minutes ago (at least for me...)

I always wondered because they never specified if it was midnight going INTO the 21st or 11:59pm, and what time zone this is based upon. England will gone before me too, so I hope ROG got my songs done..... or the afterlife has high speed internet.....

As has been said elsewhere--if the Mayans were good at making predictions, there would still be Mayans.

Well, Eddie, my guess is that it would have to be what we Americans call Central time, given that part of Mexico (where the Mayans lived) is in Central time. Not sure if the Mayans adjusted for daylight standard and daylight savings time, though.

So you, Richard and I will depart about the same time. Don Gaynor will be next. Those poor people right ON the time line at GMT proper.....
In a purely bland perspective though, are we not poking fun at the religious beliefs of the 7 or 8 remaining Mayans when we dismiss this with a laugh? I mean just because they called it maize and we call it corn....

Nope. They think it's a joke too.

There are indeed many thousands of Mayan anceatry still living in Guatemala and southern Mexico, and proud they are of it.

I am just wondering about the unlucky few people of Mayan heritage who by coincidence will die on Dec 21st. As they pass through into the afterlife, they will just HAVE to be thinking "Oh man. You mean we were RIGHT?"

No, man.... You got it all wrong. Heaven went fiber-optic years ago. Hell has always been stuck with smoke signals.

Somehow I think we'll "myth out" on a signal from either.

Actually, we were in Mexico a couple of years ago and the way it was explained to us is that it's not the end of the world, it's just the end of the Mayan's counting system. So what happens is the calendar is just getting reset to day 0 and the counting starts all over again. Sort of like older cars whose odometers only had 5 digits and when you got to 100,000 miles, it just reset back to 0. The car didn't explode, but an unsuspecting buyer might end up with a car with 130,000 miles on it instead of 30,000, at which point his head would probably explode.

I don't think the Myans took into account Leap Year so the 5th baktun actually ended several months ago. Welcome to........

Oh dear, here we go: it IS happening. The climate seems to be completely changed over night! The forecast said firestorms and great balls of fire. Instead we have light snow and rain...

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."
