If you're a musician, you've no doubt been bitten by the harmonica. As a Chicagoan, we were blessed with our "favorite sons", Larry and Jerry Adler. Now Jerry is gone. Just as soul-searching as an violin,
the harmonica geniuses of the Adler clan did much to forwarded the acceptance of the harmonica as a beautiful, intensively personal voice in all aspects of legitimate and pop music. God Bless them all!

I know and have worked with two other harmonica monsters from Chicago: Corky Siegel and Howard Levy. Both brilliant.

Of course, Toots Thielsman (also a jazz guitarist), probably has backed more artists/producers than anybody. He's great!!

I worked with Jerry, in Hawaii, many years ago at the military clubs. He was a wonderful person to work with. Sure had some long charts though. The "Grieg Concerto" was about ten pages long! Later, Ray

That was a great link Mac. My first time to enjoy Toots as far as I know. I've probably heard him before, not knowing who I was listening to. While I was there I picked up another link from the list and I has to listen to it a couple of time before leaving. :>) I figured others might enjoy it also so here it is. Two great intertainers having to much fun.

I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

I missed this one with Stevie's unannounced jam with Toots. Both great harmonica artists...both multi-instrumentalists!

I've added this and a few other videos (Bacharach) (Isley) in the downpage, amidst the Metheny videos.

Be careful about Peggy's reference in that second video.

Ben Franklin did not invent the harmonica.

Ben Franklin did, however, lay claim to the invention of the Glass Harmonium, a completely different instrument.

TV writers have always been rather shallow on the references, it seems.

Good performance of Toots, though.

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."
