Hi Bluage - thank you too. I too am not "overtly religious" - I believe in what I believe. Even though we celebrate the Birth Of Christ at the wrong time date wise its the only opportunity we get to do it. So, I love all the Carol singing. Some of the best music in the World. And Winter is not a time of Death for Mother Earth. I remember my 6 year old daughter (now long grown up) being so upset at the thought of the trees and plants losing their leaves and flowers and "Dying" as Autumn came in. I told her that it was the time that they did NOT die but just threw off their old clothes that they'd been wearing all year and got down under the soil to make new ones for Spring. Bless her, she passed that on to HER daughter when she was a similar age. Dear Ian: Your explanation of the winter season to your daughter could inspire a song. Regeneration, not death, surely is accurate and true, because if any part of our Mother Nature died, we wouldn't be here. Beautifully put, sir. Thank you for enlightening me! Most sincerely, LOREN

Hi Wendy and John and thank you for listening.
John - I'm glad that you approve. Thank you for your kind comment.
Wendy - I'm sure the kids wont be scared. Get them to join in!!! Its only 3 verses of the 5 in the Carol so you'll have to decide WHICH ones you are going to sing - for me 1, 2 and 5, with that soto voce ending repeating of the last line. Knock 'em out!

I hope that when we are gone and Freya, our daughter's daughter has children of her own, that she also tells them this little story. Happy Christmas Ian

Hi, sounds nice. Moreover, as it is Christmas, I suppose Dvorak in heaven will forgive you that you borrowed bits from his Largo (New World Symphony) :-) But do not worry, Roger Cook and Don Williams took it all and as far as I know never acknowledged the credit to him.

Hey this sounds really great!
Did you play the lead guitar line? If so, what kind of guitar was that. It sounds wonderful.
Did not see it listed in tracks.
Merry Christmas.

For our Blue Christmas/Longest Night church service this past Wednesday evening, me and my organist switched roles and she sang this beautiful hymn with me accompanying her on piano.

Hi Mik9 - thank you for your kind words. I guess its Gustav Holst who owes Dvorak as Holst is credited with the melody in 1906. Hi David - yes the Lead line is all me. The guitar is a 2006 hand built Strat to my Spec - Such a sweet sounding guitar - a real "Lady".  Hi Bob - thank you and Merry Christmas to you and all your family. Hi John - I'm hoping that the Choir sing this at tonights Midnight Service. Hi Dani - good to hear from you. I hope all goes well in the Frozen North. Thank you for your very kind comments. Happy Christmas to all. Ian

Hi sixchannel, thanks for this additional info. I overlooked that you stated "traditional" and thought it was your own; anyway, it was just fun:-) Moreover, I did not recognize it as traditional as my knowledge of anglo-american carols is just brief; we have plenty of good Czech carols so only the most popular foreign ones can take share here. Merry Christmas to all and, as newbie with BiaB, I am looking forward to exchange creative ideas and technical knowledge here on the forum in the next year.

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!

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."
