Graham,

Nice rich tone on the Elkavox - some finger lightning going on there, especially in the last tune. The whole piece is happy and fun.

I`m curious how you chose to put these songs together- based on tempo/feel?

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks Dave, I liked the drums a couple of years ago when I recorded this, but not too happy now.

Really nice work here Graham! You managed to make it sound really lush and full here. Despite what others say, I thought the drums fit well and gave it a modern touch.

Great job - thanks for sharing smile

I enjoyed your playing and the arrangement. I use to have one of those. It not only ate my lunch, but the basket as well. Great job.

Thanks Deryk, usually in Scotland a band would consist of lead accordion, 2nd accordion, piano, fiddle & drums

Very cool tune Graham. This was some very skillful playing. Love these tunes. but all the beautiful grace notes you added made the song special. Well done..

Hello Graham,

Three of my faves from the 50s. Yep, I can remember back to the early fifties. Dang ... I'm old! My father had a four pierce band in the forties and fifties, and bit into the early sixties. These are three of the songs they played - and where I started playing guitar.

Great sound on your instrument. This was super listen! Best to you.

Three of my favorite 50's songs played perfectly by my favorite accordionist. Your fingers were flying on these. My toes were tapping from the git-go!


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.

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."
