And I'm not sure why the YouTube videos aren't resolving to playable images (at least on my screen).

You only put the YouTube unique code in the URL John, leave the rest of the address out.

Always been partial to this one, the great Horace Andy covering Ain't No Sunshine. He did a few versions, but this is my favourite.

Thanks, Steve. It used to work with the URL, and the instructions say it does (although I notice that the copied URL is in a slightly different format than it used to be).

Anyway, I've fixed it now and learned something.

An undeniable classic and personal favourite of mine is "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcBjfBpgH8Q

A lesser known one but a personal favourite is "My Body Is A Cage" by Arcade Fire. A standout tune by a really good Canadian band.

Some good choices here. Some of which I thought of, some surprised me.

Here is an unusual song by Italian Singer/Guitarist Catarina Valente.

"The Breeze And I (Andalucía)" is based on Ernesto Lecuona's Suite Andalucía with English Words added by Al Stillman. I actually like the intro better than the song. And the reverb wash on the voice works for me.



It reminds me of some of the music I heard when I was in the southern part of Spain (Triana section of Seville). We went to a little bar 3 nights in a row, interacted with the band, and on the last night spoke to them through a translator, and when they found out we were musicians, it ended up with enthusiastic hugs.

Here's another nice vocal opening that many here might not have heard before (searching for non-commercial stuff)

Another recognizable one for some.
Live concert recording (except Sanborn on sax; his mic was dead so he had to re-record later .. and match his work that bled into the other mics)
from 'David Live' in '74 or so
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SnYNAxgrjo

Bowie could do that.
End one song, go into an acapella thing, then have giggle for a second, yet start the next song right on pitch with the piano that doesn't play until after he starts singing.
He's pretty much left hanging out there; either those first couple notes are going to be right or that piano is gonna tell on ya!

This is very old, very doo-w0p and has a very interesting vocal intro



Funny, the online auto censor doesn't like the word doo-[*****] so I had to substitute a zero for the o.

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."
