Song I wrote back in 1979...BiaB gave me a step up in the band department.
It sure helps to have Brent Mason play along

Todays the Day
words and music: Dan Simmons
There's a time to be born...and a time to die
There's a time to stand up...and a time to stand by
But today is the day....today is the day...of the Lord

There's a time to sow...and a time to reap
A time to laugh...and a time to weep
But today is the day...of Lord's salvation
And now is the time...to turn...turn...turn

Time won't stand still for you or for me
Today maybe ours but tomorrow will never be
Today is the day....today is the day...of the Lord

And His sweet salvation
And now is the time...to turn...turn...turn
(instrumental)
Today is the day of Lord's salvation
And now is the time...to turn...turn...turn
(instrumental)
Today is the day....today is the day...of the Lord
Today is the day....today is the day...of the Lord

Firesong, this is absolutely fantastic.

Everything about this one is perfect, i.e. great backing tracks, super vocals and harmonies and message.

You should be very proud of this one.

Two thumbs up.


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.

I'll bet that song has some Byrds influence in it somewhere....

Turn turn turn....


Sounded pretty good to me.

That was exactly my thought!! Nicely done. Brent takes everything up a notch, doesn't he? I would dial the verb down a bit. Very nice song!! Take care. Greg

Exactly my thoughts.

I did have one thought about the production. In the arrangement, I felt there was room for an acoustic guitar to stand out front in the song's mellow parts. Personal preference thought that passed through my mind while listening. This is still a great production . Enjoyed my listen.

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."
