To Ian's children:

Your father was loved, as you can see from these posts. We hope that this will be some comfort to you in the time of your loss. You are in our prayers.

Sad news indeed. Ian was a thoroughly good guy, quite apart from being a talented songwriter.

I thought it would be a loving gesture if we all did our part to keep Ian's music alive by each of us doing one or more of his songs. I can't read music but, if somebody will give me a chord progression, I will contribute my interpretation.

Just thinking aloud - this is the most forum space that ANY death has devoted to ANYONE! That speaks volumes about the love that we all felt toward Ian.

Not a bad idea at all. Can you or anyone post a link to his list of songs - if available online?

Here's my original tune I titled "Ottawa Is Blue (Tonight)" It's nearly 5 minutes long so I can cut/paste another few instruments in very gladly. If anybody wants to add-in then I'll blow a hole in the middle somewhere.

It's the top song on the list.

What are we, Ian's friends, going to do about a wee obituary notice? I'm in for US$5.00! Just tell me where to send it.

Don, I am waiting for Ian’s co-writer to contact me. I’m sure he is waiting for Ian’s family to contact him. I don’t want to bother him, he is very reliable, and I’m sure he doesn’t want to pester the family.

If I remember correctly Ian’s family is spread between Canada’s east and west coasts and parts in-between. For all I know he may be buried in some other area in Canada and/or it is taking sometime to contact the family and plan a proper funeral.

Also there may have been a listing in another paper. I don’t know for sure.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Bob, Ian was only 64.

I found Ian's daughter in Montreal has a masters and works for a girls agency. Pics of her and Ian. Sent a message.

Ian is in paradise now. He's happy that we all loved and appreciated him. I'll miss his smiling face and the music he put out. Have a great trip home Ian. Some of us will see you soon.

Update: Ian’s family will be visiting this site to view the comments so I wanted to bump this up to the top of the list. Lets keep bumping this so they will have easy access to all of the wonderful comments made by us, his friends.

Thanx

Between us, his many friends, we can bump this up to where "Curiosity" is exploring on the Red Planet. I doubt seriously if Dr. Gannon would/will object.

For Ian’s family;

An explanation of the term “bump” simply means the people on the forum are making sure the discussion about how much we thought of Ian remains high on the list of topics on the front page. Each comment pushes it back toward the top.

Ian was our friend. We will miss him.

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!

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."
