Forget the upgrade, I just want a rich wife and a couple of girlfriends like you guys seem to have.
You will likely find more takers for that than you wish.....

It's almost Month number 7 so I have a feeling PG must be working on something pretty special... or maybe they are just really distracted by that crazy, unshaven, guy a wailin' and a pickin' on his banjo and camping out in the parking lot:)

Waiting for the next update to BIAB is getting to be like waiting for the Super Bowl so we can see the new commercials.

hey! I resemble that!
I wonder what they'll do for version 2013? Concerns about customer superstition have led to renaming schemes for lots of products through the years. Even many buildings number the floors ..10, 11, 12, 14 skipping the use of number 13 as a floor name.
Maybe they'll focus on a special feature and call it something like
1) THE MIDI EXTRAVAGANZA VERSION
2) BACKING TRACKS GONE WILD
or maybe that version will be so utter different that they'll have to change the name to
3) BAND OUTSIDE THE BOX!
or maybe they'll spend all year focusing on the most asked-for wishlist items from the past 10 years, and call it
4)THE WISHLIST SPECIAL EDITION
or maybe they'll make all the new real tracks for one featured instrument, and name that version
5) STRINGS! or WORLD! or ORCHESTRA!
or maybe they'll change the interface and revamp the image with a name like
6) PG Songwriter's Toolkit v.1.0
Or not. My strategy here is to start looking so far ahead that the time between now and version 2012.5 seems shorter

I sometimes skip the mid year update but I'm always excited to see what is new.
The harder I work the luckier I get.

PG never lets us know before it comes out. I understand why. I announced my new fake disks would be ready a couple of months ago, and I just uploaded them last night. It seems that as soon as you announce a projected date, unexpected problems rear their ugly heads and cause a delay. Murphy's law, I guess Brand new 2012.5 updates from Norton Music:- 2 new style disks for Band-in-a-Box
- 2 new free (with a purchase) fancy intro/ending disks for Real Band and other DAW's
- The Ultimate Gospel Fake Disk
- The Real Rock Fake Disk (plenty of classic rock in this one)
- The Beatles Fake Disk
- And an updated Christmas Fake Disk
Hundreds of Free .sgu and .mp3 demos for the above at: http://www.nortonmusic.com

Well I suppose after many months of silence we suddenly see ads on every forum. It is very hard to miss the bold faced sale flyer attaced to each riveting post. Y Note..I have a 50 buck Yamaha keyboard selling for 699.99 and it comes with the 7 year old manual on how to make PDF work in vm. Riveting work by rosy. Pickup only any day not ending in y, about sundown.

Yeah, the truckers with the new hard drives are frightened to drive past him in case he bites.

They are the chord progressions to songs in BiaB format. If you go to http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake.html and then click on one of the titles that interests you you can download free samples. Just look at the right hand side of the page where the song list is, and if you see one that is a hyperlink, click on it and download. Then play in Band-in-a-Box.
Most of the fake disks were done with off-the-shelf books by publishers like Hal Leonard, Warner Brothers, Alfred, etc. and entered as close to the book arrangement as the limitations of BiaB allow. So if you have the book, simply open the book, load the corresponding fake disk file, and play along.

LOL.. Tom, I really enjoy your sense of humor.
You write and perform humorous songs, don't you? I guess humor is part of who you are...

Thanks, Pat. That means a lot. And, yeah, making people laugh and have fun is a huge part of my life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
