I went to a local songwriter’s circle tonight as one of my favorite worship songwriters was one of the three songwriters. His name is Jared Anderson. His songs are sung at hundreds, maybe thousands of churches globally every weekend by thousands of people in congregations at those churches. Just at his home church, I think average weekend attendance is about 10,000. He’s signed with Integrity Music which is one of the bigger publishing companies specializing in worship music.
Including me, there were 12 people there to hear the singers; at least 5 of whom were relatives of the other 2.
Lesson 1: If you find yourself eventually being kind of a big deal, pull some others up with you when given the opportunity
Lesson 2: Always do the gig no matter how few people show up
Lesson 3: Maybe bring along lyrics of some of your older stuff. Jared forgot the lyrics to one of his songs and had to stop. Called it a day on that one and just marched ahead with a different song. But the one that stopped was a better song.

That's a great story Rockstar.
I had a somewhat related (though not exact) experience when I showed up to take a master class with Michael Jackson's former guitarist who was for a long time Jeff Beck's music director, and who also wrote, played and toured with Beck, who I much admire. She has played some of the most iconic guitar riffs in pop music history.
I think she charged like 40-60 dollars for the 3 hour class, and with it she gave away some free transcription software and a flash drive with tons of educational material on it.
I was one of FOUR people who signed up. I was astonished.
One main difference between our experiences is I am not sure what I learned from that as a key take away.
It's not worth $40 or $60 to spend 3 hours with one of the best guitarists on the planet to learn a few things and get some free software that costs almost that much?
Well, at least we got to spend some quality time!!

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."
