John Ford (jford on here) and his wife Anita visited the Mid-Hudson Valley this week, so my wife Denise and I got together with them for dinner in Rhinebeck, NY. Here's a picture of John (on the right) and me.

They are great folks, and John is every bit as nice in person as he is online. It was a good time and a great honor meeting him.

Thanks. I'm eleven years older, but have more hair. That's worth something, I guess.

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of two people who are any more helpful and likeable than the two people in this picture. I'm glad you got the opportunity to meet and share some conversation. Hopefully one of these days I'll get around to meeting some of the forum regulars.

You guys said look great! More of this should be happening every year.

With this thought I have started another thread on this subject.

Looks like you cats had a great time.

Still to come, John and Anita are coming to my concert tonight with the symphony. I'm playing four songs that I wrote in BIAB.

Well, I was going to, but they were pretty adamant about no photography or video. However, I can say that Matt and his band was in top form and Anita and I enjoyed the concert immensely. The orchestra missed a few cues, but Rio Jazz was dead on.

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.

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."
