Dean,

I just listened to this. You da MAN! You are without a doubt the most talented (in multiple directions) jazz musician I've ever known! You strike me as the kind of guy who could take any chord pattern and come up with countless arrangements and never duplicate any of them!

What you are asking for here, however, is a bit different than the instrumental masterpieces you are so good at creating. Here's my unqualified opinion, feel free to disagree with it.

I think if you strip this down to bare bones so the singer has some room to play with it, you'll get more takers. You can always embellish the empty spots later after you hear what the vocalist came up with.

As I listened with an ear of how to sing along, my gut feeling was that it almost works as an instrumental.. there's enough going on already that a singer would be dealing with space constraints.. and that doesn't lend itself to playful experimentation.

By starting with a bare-bones progression, any vocalist would have maximum leeway to do whatever they want... and then your irrefutable genius level skills at arranging can take it from there.

Pat,

Thank you for those over-the-top, utterly unrealistic compliments and, of greater importance, the valuable suggestions. You may be on to something.

Your point is well taken. There is a lot going on and I was going to do the trimming back after I got the vocal. Your idea makes sense but it's coming out of your genius head and whether or not it is the real key to the cure ...

...? I think I'll see if anyone responds with a "yes" before it drops out of sight. I'm not too optimistic.

But thanks for your ideas. They're always on - or at least near - the money.

Guenter,

So great to hear from you again. I hope all is well in the Germany of today:

Heroes of immigrants. Villains of Volkswagen. Wie wird eine Person sollte unter diesen Umständen fühlen? One week your Angela is tyrannizing Greece (true, they dug their own grave), the next she is showcasing Germany as the moral standard against which other countries - you know who I mean - build barbed wire fences.

Humans are angels and devils at the same time and if the above doesn't prove it, nothing will. And I cannot understand why this catastrophe is considered a "European problem?" Doesn't all of humanity bear the responsibility?

Well, I don't know how I got on the topic other than that's all we hear on the news these days.

Tschuss, man - and thank you for the kind words. I'm looking forward your videos.

Dean

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.
