I just learned about Nicholas McCarthy, the first one-handed pianist to complete their studies at the Royal College of Music! You have to watch some of his videos: Nicholas McCarthy - YouTube Channel I can barely play 'Chopsticks' on the piano - so I'm super impressed!-Callie

That is impressive. For a short while in one band at University we had a one armed guitarist! He had lost his left hand in a car crash when he was a young teenager and his Dad, an engineer, had adapted a prosthetic hand to include a pick holder and he could strum really well on his "left handed" guitar. His Dad also made a boogie extension, 2 prongs exactly an octave apart, for piano so he could do a walking bass and play normally with his right, not quite so successful but he was better than I was with two hands He soon transferred to a different Uni and we lost contact. BUT Nicholas McCarthy WOW, thanks for sharing Alyn

What fantastic thing to share! I played one of his other videos for my wife and children with the screen minimized, so they only heard the audio. They thought it sounded really good! Then I showed them. I love that they would have never known! They only thing thing could comment on was how great it sounded. Then you ad in the ability he is displaying and WOW! The reason this impacts me a bit is I am going to share this with a family who has a son who has been an inspiration. I think it's always good to have reminders around of what greatness is. Thank you again for the share! Here is the his story as well... Parker

Thanx for sharing. This again proves the old saying "where there's a will there's a way"!
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.

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."
