Maybe I should wait until this becomes a reality but I've been sitting on my hands in anxious anticipation:
I think you'll be proud - Illinois State University is starting a "Don Gaynor Department Of Special Needs Music"! Special Needs students are those with physical or emotional deficits. I'm very proud to have my name associated with such a wonderful music program - top-rated in the US.
Dr. Gannon has been very generous in supplying software to ISU and it is starting to blossom into an untapped customer base.
Thank you sincerely, Peter. You can rest assured that EVERY STUDENT will be taught to use BAIB as an integral part of the program.
Don

My wife will be at ISU tomorrow for some big little league event going on. I will tell her to look for ISU staff and say thanks for the program.... Dan, It's not written in stone yet but Professor Kim McCord has started the tedious grant request process. Many alumni are supporting the program and Kim is confident that she/we will get the grant. Such things take time. Peter and crew have done so much already and BIAB will definitely be a huge part of ISUs curriculum. It is already being taught in their Music Composition Courses. There is a lot of volunteer work needed to make my dream a reality. Anyone wanting to help should PM me for contact information. It would be unfair to post Professor McCord's information here without her knowledge and consent. For your information, Kim has built her Special Needs Music Program into the best in the U.S. I'm extremely proud of her. She mentions my triumphs over physical deficits in each of her lectures and seminars.

Don,
congratulations to you for your relentless work advocating for people with disabilities of all kinds! I hope this comes to fruition, and it sounds as if it will! Your influence will help to keep music in the schools at a time when many schools don't seem to think it's important
And congratulations to Peter Gannon for recognizing and responding to the same need in his own generous way! Everybody benefits from having music in the school, and the people on this forum know better than anybody that there's no better way to get acquainted with music that by using BIAB!

Pat, Thanks for your encouragement and continued support. I've merely taken my performance back stage. Lots of irons still in the fire. I owe Peter for keeping my mind and heart involved in music, albeit obliquely. Don

That is great news. Being recognized in such a way is a rubbing with ointment for body, mind and soul at the same time or as we in German say: That is like Easter and Christmas at the same time.
Congratulations. Guido

I hope I can hog center stage until Professor McCord's Special Needs Music Program is taught in every major music school in the US and Canada, at the very least!

Wonderful news Don!
I think it's just great that here you are sitting in a care facility and I'm using that term very loosely, completely disabled with I'm sure lots of issues yet you're still sharp enough and have enough drive to keep up with something like this.
Very inspiring.

My hat is off to you Sir!
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

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."
