Well it runs fine from the hard drive itself. So something in the installation messed up.

I think what happened is that the install of Windows was done from the backup or permanent image on the hard drive, but I started the install of Band in a Box and the update from the on-line fetching of 'improvements' and patches and other stuff started and demanded a reboot before the RealTracks got properly installed.

So it works ok from the Drive, and it looks like a good install, but something interupptus sqashed my actual install. At the end of it all, I need to reinstall RealTracks, or the whole thing.

It was interesting just having a drums track and myself though. I might do that more often, you have to play more and fill in things that you could lay back on.

I promise to try and not use on to end a sentence sometime soon, as my friends say, "John is entertaining, you never know where he's going to take the conversation". I've messed with going on and off different substances they prescribe me, and even with nothing for 'pills and meds' my mind is in some other gear. Chemo, glad it worked. Not sure about he benefits otherwise!" . Eventually back on pain meds, I can't seem to live without something along that line.

If you want linear thinking you might want to cross me off your list! Lateral is full on all the time.

Nice 3 inches of snow, with the cardinals playing around the feeder. I need to reorganize my office a bit, or maybe raise the chair on a platform so I'm not half standing to see.

Have a good one. (Pot Hole Filler beer is made in BC near PG music.) Thick black beer, hints of chocolate, and as I said to the wife after the first taste, overtones of asphalt. Can't be all bad! Howe Sound beer, who knew! Goes with Funk Bass Jazz quite well. Something light and refreshing though for Diana Krall, who can Krall into.....
