I got that too Glenn, at the time it was hard to admit I'd cry but I did.
Now I'm older they play O Canada and I cry. Oh well...
OTOH, what's her name on CBC was doing the weather, Colleen the curling chick, turns my crank.
And women's curling in kilts, HOT. LOL

...oklahomans have a language all their own.
having been (bean) educated in minnesota where strict grammar is taught, you can imagine my shock upon my first exposure to oklahoman. there simply aren't any grammatical rules used. perhaps i have been/bean emersed in it too long because it no longer raises the hairs on the nape of my neck to listen to it.
i thought minnesota was the mesquito capital of the known world, john. as a kid my mom would come in my bedroom with a pump sprayer full of ddt and mist my room. then she would smear my bites with a baking soda paste to relieve the itching. i've often wondered how much ddt i have breathed in my youth.

The further you go north the worse the mosquitoes. You have no actual idea. I've sat in the tent, and looked out, and the 2 Cree Indians with our group move a hand rolled smoke over their lips so the bugs, standing 3 or 4 deep waiting to suck blood are out of the way. I was tough, but at 10 at night, when it's humid there in July, north of Kapuskasing, I gotta say, I went in the tent, and did not go outside. I remember surveying a road, looking down, and I can't see my feet for the bugs.
On the plus side, you really get used to it, bite the bullet and let them eat you. After the 2nd year they become like dust in the wind. No problem.

my aunt's farm was on dollar lake just north of nashwaulk, minnesota. when visiting her it was customary to keep smudge pots going all night just to be able to sleep. the mesquitoes were so thick it became impossible to breathe through the mouth without inhaling a few dozen. ok, your turn.

One thing PG Music exposed me to was the musicians of Canada. So far, the Real Band selections I choose show in their comments a brief explanation of their Canadian heritage. I would say that Peter is a proud Canadian. I had one experience in Canada and that was in Montreal. And being a kid from New York City the first thing I stood amazed about was their subway. It's clean and on time. AMAZING! In fact, in the part of town I stayed I do not recall even seeing a piece of litter on the ground. Wow, this ain't no Florida where the cars are clean because the roads aren't.
I would love to see the west coast of Canada where you are all talking about. It sounds beautiful. In fact, I am going to try to google earth the place to see if there are any ground level tours I can take. Thank the Lord for the Internet!
Cheers!

Just thought I'd add my two cents to this thread. I don't know exactly how long PG Music has been at 29 Cadillac Rd but I have been picking up my copy of BIAB there since at least Version 8 (?1992?). I previously ordered by mail (versions 5 to 7) so I can't comment on any other physical location. I can say that in the early days PG occuppied Suite 29 on the second floor and some 8 years ago they also took up residence in the suite below them as a warehouse. My Christmas present to myself, is that every Christmas I spend the holidays with my two daughters (and granddaughters) in Victoria, so I order the latest versions of BIAB, PTPA and now RB and pick them up while I am there. I don't know if they are really set up to handle walk in customers, but the staff has always been accommodating, polite, and helpful in my updates. I actually met Peter a couple of times in the "early" days when he was more hands on in the sales end.
I think the cities in more moderate climate gives the time for more creativity. Look at Seattle for instance they have Micro$oft, Mackie, Boeing, Jimi Hendricks, Mark O’Connor, and so on. Certainly, other cities offer great artists as well but in my own experience of being raised in the interior of BC, I was spending more time shovelling snow when I’d rather be playing music.
Glenn I get to Victoria usually February, June, September, and December of every year. My daughter lives up near Shellbourne St and Felton. Would love to meet a fellow PG’er for a coffee sometime.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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."
