In 1995 it moved into BIAB because I wanted to explore the possibilities of how it would work as a combo. The style I don’t remember because I renamed it but it sounded quite different instrumentation-wise. All midi. Six months ago I resurrected it, and did away with all of the midi except for simple drums and bass. Used RT364 Acoustic Fingerpicking Ev65 RT1513 Electric Country Brent Ev65 RT626 Harmonica Travis Ev85 1 Up Harmony by Helicon Assisted picky ears by MarioD – with thanks.:grin If and when you listen, you have any comments to make about the song and its production on any level, I’m more than happy to have you point them out. I’m also not welded to these emotions any more – they are almost 20 years old. Interesting though, I did write a "resolution" verse which I have not recorded yet. NOTE: The “Back” button does not work on the song page in this situation. The song is embedded as a wma and should start in a second or two. Vulnerable © 1991 Words and Music - Ian Fraser Oh my what a view of the city tonight, All along the river-side miles and miles of light But the road I had to climb here to get to see this site Drained me to my very soul Left me feeling very old Enough to put my life on hold. Oh my what a view, a mistaken view of love, Day to day we're searching to fill up the hole inside Don't give your heart to someone along just for the ride, Perfection's but a dream you see, Perfect no-one is meant to be, It won't last in reality. Are we vulnerable? - oh believe it, Offer us love - we will receive it. Married at once - can you conceive it? Have our little children - then we leave them. Instrumental. Are we vulnerable? - oh believe it, Offer us love - we will receive it. Married at once - can you conceive it? Have our little children - then we leave them. Oh my what a view of the city tonight, All along the river-side miles and miles of lights But the road I had to climb here to get to see this sight Drained me to my very soul Left me feeling very old Enough to put my life on hold.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
