Band in a Box is such a remarkable product, it has brought me hours of enjoyment, as well as teaching me more about music than I would have ever learned without it. This song is a tribute to it's creator as well as to all of the people who have had a part in making Band in a Box such an amazing product. The untiring effort they put into always making a remarkable product even better. This song does not do the justice due, but when I saw a tribute to Peter, I had to join in because Band in a Box has opened doors for me, that I would not have had otherwise. I posted this over on the off topic forum under the tune challenge thread started by Don Gaynor, he asked everyone who wanted to do a tribute song to Dr Gannon; this is mine.

I Used the M Bolero style for this one. The bass is 1901 and is native to the style. The piano was replaced with 2111 Sax baritone, The guitars are native to the style and they are Guitar 1=1903, Guitar 2=1902, 2113 Trumpet was added to melody track and 2110 Horn Section to the Soloist Track. I want to thank all of the wonderful people that work at Pg Music, they have been so helpful and kind over the years. Also thanks to everyone on the forum, I have learned a lot over the years from everyone's willingness to share tips and suggestions. Thanks for a great product Pg!

Nice song! Like the feel of it. I think a little reverb could make things sit a little better. I agree BIAB is an incredibly powerful program. It has been a wonderful vehicle for me. Thanks for posting! Take care. Greg

Heh. The change from a solo trumpet to horns just about made me jump out of my chair!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Nice mix of RTs!


My wife had her driving test today.
She got 8 out of 10.
The other 2 jumped out of the way!
