When I was doing my chemo late last year, I was too weak to sing and my left hand was almost totally numb ... only my thumb and index finger had any feeling. So, I decided that was good time to really sit down with BIAb and see what I could with it. In 5 months I write about 30 instrumentals ... all BIAB tracks.. I love playing around with the various styles. This one of the last ones I wrote. It's recorded in Traditional Bluegrass but with a few contemporary touches. Hope you-ans-all like it just a touch. They're all BIAB Thanks for listening! Yee-Haw!!!!!!

The story on the title comes from my family's genealogical history. Between 1815 and 1845, both sides of my family (mom's and dad's sides) lived in Bourbon County Kentucky. To our knowledge, neither side knew each other very well ... The DAVID family (my father's side) and the CROUCH family (my mother's side). Well, various lines of the two families started moving away a little before 1850 but moved to different areas. The two sides joined again in St. Louis, Missouri ... my hometown ... in the early 1900s. My mother was a daughter of Carl and Leona Crouch; my father was the son of Thomas and Minnie David. I thought that was pretty interesting. Hope I didn't bore you too badly with it. Anyway, that's the genesis of the name of the name of the song. Please enjoy ......

Hey that's sure enough a cool tune. I like how you gave everyone a turn in the spotlight.

When ya can't sing... do instrumentals. Waa Laaa!

you could not have provided a better song title grin .

This tells it all. Musically very colorful.

Great variety throughout. A real fun listen.

Rob and Anne-Marie,

Thanks a bunch. Glad you enjoyed the story and the song. I've been able to track all sides of my family back to 1620 with proof/documentation, and to 1540 with strong evidence but no literal proof. So far, nobody from The Netherlands!

Torrey and Peter,

Those kind words made us smile. Thanks so much. I've never been a real big Bluegrass fan but have started warming up to it the past few years. The now-defunct group Nickel Creek was the turning point. They were pretty cool!

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."
