Irma is coming our way, so I may be off-line for a few days. I'm sure to lose power, and probably Internet too.
If you have any reason to contact Norton Music via e-mail, be assured I'll answer as soon as I'm back on line. Right now I'm putting up storm shutters.

Notes, if you and Leilani want to get out of dodge until the storm passes, you're welcome here. Seriously.
Same offer extends to anyone else in the storm's path who might want to get away for a few days without incurring costs for lodging and meals.
If you can get to the Greensboro (GSO) or Charlotte (CLT) airport, I'll come pick you up if you let me know the flight number and arrival time.
If you'd rather drive, contact me by PM and I'll give you my address & phone number.

Sending our thoughts from PG Music for you! It's a tragedy what's happening in the south right now, with the storms and floods and all.
Cheers,

I agree. Please if you can get out of Irma's path. This one looks like a killer.
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.

My cousin and wife from Key West got out of dodge yesterday. Maybe you should batten down those hatches and get out of town. Go visit Nashville for a couple of days.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

Thanks for the offers and well wishes. I've been through a lot of hurricanes, and while nothing is certain, in my situation I believe it's safer to stay here than to drive on the highway with all the crazies. My home is on the Eastern Sand Ridge - 32' above sea level - while I may get water in the house, I won't be flooded, I'm on top of a hill. The house is well constructed to building codes that were enacted before the developers started bribing government to water them down. I have drop-down storm awnings, and storm panels for protection from flying objects. I have a very good roof for hurricanes with an excellent track record. I have well water and will lose power, probably anywhere from a few days to over a week, but I have a generator and lots of gas. Using it frugally I can probably last a couple of weeks. At the first signs, when it got halfway across the pond and before the news media made people hysterical, I quietly bought non-perishable food that I will eat anyway, recharged all my batteries, checked the generator, checked the emergency radio, checked the emergency lights, bottled a lot of water in re-purposed cheap jug wine bottles that I asked for when playing condominium gigs and cleaned out trash cans to store water to flush the toilet. today I put up the storm panels, I'll drop the awnings Saturday. I also cleaned the gutters, policed the yard to remove anything that would likely become airborne, and checked with my close neighbors to see if they needed help. Of course there never is a guarantee that I'll be safe, but the odds are overwhelmingly in my favor. What I don't look forward to is the loss of electricity and the clean-up after the storm subsides. I hope everyone here in Florida and Georgia makes it through OK. As long as I have power and Internet, I'll be taking care of business and visiting here. And right now I'm bummed that I had two nice gigs this weekend, and they are both cancelled. And if Irma destroys a clubhouse in Okeechobee, I'm out of a New Year's Eve gig at over $1,000 more than our normal one-nighter price  (Now that's a true Floridian attitude). Notes

Notes,
It sounds like you've made good preparations, and I hope everything turns out OK for you and all in the path of this hurricane.
Have Fun!

Batten down the hatches. Thar's a storm a comin'.
Stay safe. I saw something funny the other day.... since I'm in search and rescue.... put hotdogs in your pockets so the search dogs will find you first. There's some truth in that.
Seriously.... be safe and don't take chances.
edit: Richard Branson decided to ride the storm out on his private island. He had a really well built house that included hurricane rated shutters for the windows and doors. Apparently it got so bad that they retreated to the wine cellar. (Now that's the kind of storm shelter everyone needs...right?) When they came out, the house was totally destroyed above them.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Many many friends in Florida and we are greatly concerned. My prayers are not only with them but also that they had the good sense to evacuate early enough.
Stay safe Notes.
Later,

Best wishes for all in the storms path. We left the Tampa area early this morning and just got to our first stop in Tallahassee. We're going to monitor the storm from here and if need be head to Birmingham on Sunday. I packed up my studio equipment and put it in my truck to keep it safe so I wont be able to record for a few days.

Well I'm in the western panhandle of Florida, so unless it decides to take a sharp left turn, we should be fine here. That being said, we've got our supplies (water, food, gas, propane, batteries, flashlights, etc) and should be fine. My house was built in 1959 and has done well for 60 years (although I've only lived in it 3 1/2 years), I suspect it will weather the storm fine. Our neighborhood tends not to flood , so that should be good. We had no issues with the heavy rainfall back in 2014 that dropped 26 inches of water in 24 hours.
My prayers are definitely with those who are in the path of the storm, and it looks like Jose is coming up right behind Irma.

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."
