I don't want to change my dancing chicken avatar - I've had that in various iterations for a lot of years - but some very brave and reckless folks have asked for my picture.
This was taken at a BBQ party in April 2012 in the courtyard of my Nursing Home.
The device mounted in front of me is my DynaVox Maestro speech synthesis device. It is a full blown Win 7/32 computer with WIFI and Bluetooth capabilities so I can relax in the gazebo (off camera to the left) and follow the action on PG Music forums. Add the fact that I have about a dozen beautiful nurses and loving aides (and two ugly ones) trying to spoil me rotten, you have an idea of my humble existence.
Mac, you may appreciate that the special tilt/recline wheelchair and Dynavox Maestro total a flat $40K. I don't know where I'd be without the VA. They may be slow but they believe in top gear for us vets. When something is labeled "medical" the price goes up tenfold.
Addendumb: Please notice that teeth are optional attire here. That seems to apply for all of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas as well.

Josie, I feel somewhat guilty claiming my veterans' benefits. I was Vietnam Era but spent five years (of nine total) liberating the gasthauses (guesthouses, pubs, and bars) in Germany.
Incidentally, thank you sincerely for your voicemail message yesterday. That was so encouraging. I'll probably save it until you become rich and famous. I'll be able to say: "Josie Beck? Yeah, I knew her when!" And I will be soooo proud.
the Lunar Rover's got nothin' on you! You're decked out for competition! You just need slicks and some moonshine to haul, and you'd fit right in with the NC crowd!
Regarding the teeth... at first glance, I thought it must be full moon. The look on your face says "I vant to biiite yourrr neck..."
Hey, pretty nurses... whatever works, right?
Anyway, it's good to add a face to your name.
Maybe the VA can buy you one of these and teach it to dance like a chicken:
Well well so that'you eh Don! Not as I imagined as that dancing chicken distracted me LOL It's always nice to put a face to name... I used to do a lot of home visits, when I was a Dentist, and I would love to put some railings (dentures) in there. So put the kettle on!!!
Glad to see we use the same dentist Don, you got one more toofa than me! I was in the Army during that period too, but was a stateside garbologist! Hey somebody's got to take out the trash for all those officers.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
