...and just in case you were expecting a real cat, um, he's not a real cat.

Thanks so much for this post as until I clicked I am almost ashamed to call myself a musician and have never heard this musical genius before.

Mom and Dad had a record of his when I was six. Near wore the grooves off of it.
My siblings and I just about laughed ourselves to death.

Not until my twenties did I learn his name, and the extent of his brilliance.

I had never heard of him. Quite amazing talent. Thanks for sharing.

And I loved that the audience of that time clapped on 2 & 4 and stayed there during that one guitar tune. Never happen today.

Yas indeed. At one time, performance like Slim's was the norm among the topline entertainers of the music world.

Around the same time, there was this cat that far too many don't know today, his name was Phineas Newborn

Add me to the list of the thankful that had never heard of him before this video.

Can you imagine Slim and Victor Borge trading comedic chops? I loved the upside down hands bit at the beginning! Notice how every number was his '2nd number'?

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."
