Two 20 year old men are still missing. One, Cody, is my Aide Bobbi's cousin.

The authorities believe that they attempted to 4-wheel across a road washout and were swept away. Police, firefighters, and 100s of volunteers are conducting a foot search but unsuccessful to this hour.

Positive thoughts requested.

Sorry to hear that Don. I read where a Texas teenage girl was returning home from her Prom and the same thing happened to her. They did find her body though :-(

Those storms have done some serious damage and several lives have been lost because of it.

Hope they find them soon.

Thanks Trax. Yeah, yesterday they showed another case where a car was swept off the road.

Police and firefighters are boating kids home from school.

I hope they found the fairy of good luck to protect them.

But them being that young is often coupled with being terribly inexperienced in evaluating danger. I still hope they got out of their car by themselves and are just stranded somewhere...freezing, hungry, but alive and well regarding the circumstances.

Guido, thanks for your concern. It's heartwarming, my friend.

Bobbi was out until midnight following the routes that she thought they might have taken home. No sign of them or their vehicle.

More violent thunderstorms today. That certainly doesn't aid in the search.

I'll post here when/if the lads are found.

Thanks Z.

Still no sign of the lads or the vehicle. Bobbi is rejoining the search.

This is one of a long series of tragedies in Cody's family including a devastating house fire.

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.

Thanks Mario, dear friend. Foul play is suspected now.

A fake music recruiter of young folks was seen with the lads. Bad news! The fact that the vehicle hasn't been found is a bad sign to me.

Bobbi is Cherokee and her entire clan (sub tribe) is conducting a search this weekend.

Thanks to this forum, this search has gone viral.

I personally feel that the lads have been abducted and may be out of the US by now.

Still no sign of the lads but the vehicle was spotted in NY State.

Even without FBI involvement, the search has gone viral.

Police want to minimize it but Cody is without his medication which he needs every day.

UPDATE:

The vehicle has been ditched somewhere in NY State. FBI has gotten involved and is following reports of the lads being kidnapped and in California but still not located.

FINAL UPDATE

Dear PG Friends,

The waters have receded to the point where last evening about 7 PM, Oklahoma Highway Patrol found the missing vehicle and, sadly, the two boys were both found inside drowned.

Apparently, our first theory was correct - that, being overconfident in their 4-wheeler skills, attempted to cross a washout in the road and were swept away.

It’s not much consolation but at least Bobbi and the family might have closure amid all of the cruel rumors and speculation.

Thanks for your prayers, positive thoughts and emotional support that I shared with Bobbi.

I'm sorry that all of our hoping did not help enough.

If any good can be gleaned from this tragedy - Some awesome news re Bobbi:

The bands who played Rocklahoma ALL are contributing a concert to the boys. All final expenses have already been paid and a "Bike In" is drawing people in from every State as well as Canada. Those lads had some fabulous friends.

Money can't replace these wonderful lads but eliminating the financial burden on the families is certainly a relief.

HOW TO EXIT A SUBMERGED VEHICLE

This is too late to save the two young Oklahoma lads being buried on Friday, but, hopefully, it can benefit the rest of us.

Think about what you would do when water pressure blocks your exit from your vehicle making it impossible to open the doors. You only have between 20 seconds and 4 minutes to save yourself and your loved ones.

It's definitely not a joke!

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!

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."
