Hi Peter, Thank you!!!! I couldn't believe it when I read the list. What a great start to 2013  Your company and your products are nothing short of amazing! Absolutely the only reasons that I can write the songs that I do are (a) Band In A Box and (b) Realband. I can't imagine how I'd go about creating anything without these incredibly powerful tools. Hope you, your family and your business have an incredibly prosperous 2013. Noel

This is the greatest holiday gift! I have been looking at the upgrade for a long time, but I'm suffering from long-term unemployment, and spending anything is out of the question for now, so I've accepted that I'll go along with my current version...then this! An upgrade to the current release was really the only thing on my Christmas list this year...I love this software, always finding new jewels as I dig deeper into the treasure chest of BIAB and RB...also great, responsive tech support and a very inspiring and supportive community of fellow creators. Thank you so much!

Peter,
I am overwhelmed by your generosity. I too have had some financial reverses that precluded my upgrading (which I really wanted), and this gift is most welcome and appreciated.
Best to you and yours in the coming year, and thank you very much.
Regards,
Bob & Penny Burke

Peter (and everyone at PGMusic),
I am so grateful. For this wonderful surprise, of course. But more so, for the truly incredible product that you provide and the amazing support behind it. I'm constantly amazed by both.
It would not surprise me to see next year's number double again. And congratulations to all the "winners".
I'll quote from a couple of my favorite songwriters to express my delight...
Oh what a feelin'
Now who would believe
Dizzy and giddy from a guy like me
It hits you hard
Takes you by surprise and it's good
Real good
So unbelievably good
(from "What A Crazy Thing" - now playing at a User Showcase near you...) <grinnin'>
Thank You!

Thank you so very much Peter!!! What a wonderful surprise! I was happy dancing and hollering around here when I saw my name! BIAB/RB/Realtracks are the magic that make my songs come alive. I love this software. It’s absolutely awesome. So is PGMusic. Wishing you, the staff, and everyone here on the forums a prosperous, healthy and happy 2013. God bless you.

Wow, Peter! What a wonderful surprise. You never cease to amaze me with your generosity and dedication to your customers.
I don't celebrate Christmas but December 31st is my 52nd wedding anniversary and I will consider it a wonderful anniversary gift from you and my PG Music friends. I am eager to experiment with the many new features.
Thank you, Peter.

I have the user forum set as my default page for PG Music and thus it serves as my entry point to other PG Music pages. I'd just loaded the page to navigate to the Mac section to look for a RealTrack set when I saw a message from a member. I hadn't yet looked at the forum posts and was very surprised that the member had kindly congratulated me on the win! Wow!! I am truly humbled and so happy for my wife who started recording again after I bought Band-in-a-Box. I can't express how much this means to us and how genuinely impressed I am with PG Music and the members of this forum. You are all class acts. We've had a music hiatus after we lost our good friend and stellar picking partner, the great Randy Howard, years back. If not for him we would have never recorded our first CD, and if not for you guys we would not be in the process of putting together our second project. And most importantly, if not for y'all, we would not be having so much fun with music again. Thank you all and many congrats to all the other winners and contributors. Bud PS I can now access all the RealTracks? Genre bending here we come!
