Haven't seen the film, but I did see a clip of Keith telling a story where Chuck punched him in the face for touching his guitar!

A lot of people think of Chuck as a guitar player, and he was. More think of him as a singer, and he was. But what I appreciate most is his songwriting.

He wrote R&B (not what they call R&B today) songs with lyrics that crossed the line and could be appreciated by the rock, race and country markets (as they were called back then).

Who can forget Chuck trying to catch up with women, Maybelline, and later Nadine.

Add Johnny B Goode, our first rock guitar hero.

And girls, we love to sing about girls, (after all females are intoxicants), Sweet Little Sixteen and Little Queenie.

And don't forget the car songs, No Particular Place To Go and No Money Down.

And he mixed them all up too. Chasing Maybelline and Nadine in cars, couldn't get the seat belt off his date in No Particular Place To Go and so on.

And he helped usher in Rock and Roll with Roll Over Beethoven, and School Days - "Drop the coin right into the slot. You wanna hear something that's really hot".

These were lyrics that fit the times, crossed cultures, mixed the rock, race, and country markets, and did their part to bring the next generation a little more tolerant and understanding of each other.

Thanks Mr. Berry. The world is a little better because you were here.

And don't forget that he played with his Ding-A-Ling. Right there on stage!!

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.

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."
