Tom,
Isn't this the second time you really messed up your leg? If I recall correctly, the last time ended you up in the hospital for a while.

I found your albums on Rhapsody today, I thank you for "Hey, It's Can(n)on" That was great.

Anyway, I always think of you at this time of year. I'm glad you're getting better.

Gary

Speaking of Pirates, and just to rock the boat, here's a website which answers common questions about them:

Often wondered why we often tend to romanticize some really bad people through literature or song.

Absolutely correct, Gary, although this was a much lesser mess-up. Basically, I tripped on a curb and bruised the heck out of my calf, got a big honkin' scrape (which turned into cellulitis, thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for antibiotics), and a small break in my right wrist. No surgery needed, unlike the June 2008 fall which had me in the hospital and then rehab for a total of nine weeks.

And, I think of you guys all the time. I've been trying to catch up with life and all, but I'm constantly lurking, just to see what-all's up. Big Damn Manly Hugs all around!

Hey Guys.

I can say with some degree of certainty, that this pirate thing hasn't crossed the Atlantic.

I just spent the day in the little coastal town of Whitby, which is where Captain James Cook (the famous explorer) was born and incidentally where the Dracula story was set. Ain't no one heard of "Talk Like A Pirate Day". They all thought I was on holiday from Cornwall - people talk like that all the time down there.

A friend of mine posted this to FaceBook this morning. Not surprisingly, it referenced our very own Tom:

Go to YouTube and do a search for Tom Smith Filk. There are quite a number of his songs there. In particular, look for the Anthrocon 2006. The song starts at 3:15, but it's worth watching the entire thing.

Scott, you do the FAWN thing, how many songs can you write in one day?

Oh, for your Harry Potter fans, make sure you go look up 'Hey! It's Can(n)on' on YouTube. Tom, that is one of my favorites!

Hee hee. One of mine, too, Gary. I'm a huge HP fan myself (I'm a Harry/Hermione 'shipper).

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.
