Nothing to laugh about though the story is amusing. He went in to hospital for an operation and fought with the nurses believing the Illuminati wanted his body parts. Not long after returning home he was found early one morning in his dressing gown fully equipped with bandolier and double barrel coach gun. His son had to the rescue and relieve him of the offending weapon. His son told me that he wouldn't have had the strength to pull the hammers back any way. Sad but also funny in away. So being a sucker for a good story I took some poetic licence and wrote what I hope you are about listen to. One small item I must explain is all my original BB files are on a external hard drive that decided to stop working so I cant give any real details on the style. The song was however edited in Reaper. I hope you like it. Regards Rob https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob/the-illuminatis-coming Oooh the Illuminati's coming Oooh . I had a thought just the other day the Illuminati's'coming gonna take me away. I have my coach gun and a bandolier hide the pumpkin patch drinking beer. The Illuminati's coming gonna take me away. I'm gonna kick and scream I'm gonna have my say. I've got my dressing gown tied in a bow I know Karate but they don't know. I saw some old coot just snooping around his trouser where black but his shoes where brown. The Illuminati's coming gonna take me away. I'm gonna kick like a mule I'm gonna make them pay. Chorus They wanna take little pieces of my brain. They wanna take a cross section of my spleen. Wanna know what I know wanna know where I've been. Fill Chorus They wanna take little pieces of my brain. They wanna take a cross section of my spleen. Wanna know what I know wanna know where I've been. I heard em talking on the old Morse Code. Called up the police wanna block the road. The Illuminati's gonna wreck my day saw ten of em hiding in a bale of hay. The Illuminatis's coming gonna take me away. Ill get some salt and peter I'm gonna give em a spray. They got my DNA from a postage stamp. Down by the creek there's a CIA camp. Cameras and mikes hidden in the trees right next to my hive of African killer bees. Hey wrote this on in the last few months. The Illuminati's coming gonna take me away. While the sun is shinning I'll be smiling today. Chorus They wanna take little pieces of my brain. They wanna take a cross section of my spleen. Wanna know what I know wanna know where I've been. Oooh the Illuminati's coming Oooh the Illuminati's Oooh Last edited by Rob4580; 01/14/15 10:59 PM. https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob https://open.spotify.com/artist/6IPuZM4B48Drnd38DEWC7L https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoXdTc0EC_3aaZSqT4dyzug Using Studio One.

Humor from a difficult subject is not easy to achieve but you've done a nice job. I've had the pleasure to listen to your three recent User Forum posts and I'm becoming quite a fan.

The whole style of the song could eaily have been something he'd have done. And there is a resemblance in your voice. What an irony that we claw our way through this life to whatever degree our intellect will allow... until time steals the intellect and hands us over to life, only to have even that stripped away in the end. Good job https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0

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.

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."
