My dear friends !
I am announcing my retirement from
active participation on the forum !
The time spent here has been most
wonderful, I have made a lot of friends
and I have even got to sing with some
of you !:)) You have all been most kind
to me and it has helped me over the
darkest moments in my life !:)) For that
I am indebted to all of you for ever !
It is just that sooner or later everything
nice must come to an end and I´ve reached
that endpoint !:)) I sure gonna miss you all
so please take care of yourself and continue
to make beautiful music as you have done all the
time !:))
May the future for you be as creative as ever
and may it bring a lot of new compositions
forward !:))
To Don, who once graciously suggested this
forum for me I say, thank you for that Don
and if you still want me to send my covers
to you I will continue to do so !
Please take care of yourself, you good
ol´Irishman !!:))
Cheers
and as they say in spanish
adios mis amigos !!!:))
Dani

Dani, you are my sentimental favorite here on the forum. Both in your music, which one could almost see the imagery of tears, from either laughter and joy or heartbreak, pain and sorrow determined by the heartfelt sentiment of your lyrics and mood of your music.
I always looked forward to your posts and even more enjoyed the genuine humbleness of your comments to myself and others.
Blessings on your new journey, you'll be missed here. They may say adios in Spanish but here in the American south land, we say "what goes around comes around" so don't cancel your account, good luck may bring you our way again some day. I hope so.
Best wishes,
Charlie

Michael Jordan retired from basketball, and Joaquin Phoenix left the film industry. Both returned because they could not leave what they loved and were great at. I hope the story is the same for you. The door is always open and I hope, for all of our benefit, you pop in to say hello and post a new song. I think, like a lot of us, you were born to express yourself through music and you should never let that go. I won't say goodbye, just so long for now. Take care. Greg

Hi Dani, I felt a little sad when I read your above post. You've been such a terrific member of this community and a wonderful friend. I know that you will be missed by many people. I hope you realise that you'll always be welcome to return  Even if you only post one song a year, it will be really great to see you. Take care. Enjoy your journey and have a great life! I wish you the very best of everything, Noel

Dani, my friend It's with a mixture of bewilderment and sadness that I read your post. Like the others have said, don't close the Forum door. Leave it open and pop in again whenever you like. We all make great company here on this Forum, people from many countries and many walks of life, to the point that we have all become good friends, special friends, a real team in fact. I think you participated as part of your healing process. I hope that was beneficial. I actually felt it was. Keep that door open  You take good care of yourself, and give us an update from time-to-time, eh? Don't you go too far now.... Trev

what??? No more Dani on the forum!!??
that is just NOT ACCEPTABLE! Please rip my arm off instead! Or poke me in both eyes with a sharp stick that's been dipped in acid... but PLEASE don't take DANI away!!
There are all kinds of solutions that are less final than retiring. Unless you and Li are going to a desert isle where there is no internet service (in which case, I think that's a pretty cool idea... but nevertheless..) why not consider reducing your contributions if that's too time consuming?
I've been here for 5 years and I never post anything, I just pester people... you don't have to be productive to be on the forum!
I think its pretty evident that everybody here likes you a GREAT DEAL and nobody wants to see you go. Even if you just check in occasionally that's better than leaving altogether.
Besides, you can't leave yet. We haven't made our own "PEOPLE'S CHOICE" awards where we list the songs we particularly liked from 2014. I suspect the name DANI will show up on that list a time or three.
But if, at the end of it all, you still leave... no, I can't even let that possibility into my thinking. You just can't leave Dani. I see no other way this can work.
;-)

Wow...I must say, although I am fairly new to posting, on most online forums there are "pillars" that hold up the soul of a forum, I believe you are one of those pillars on the BIAB forums. Thank you for your kind words on the only song I got to post yet, I will miss not anticipating your thoughts. All the best!

Hi, good ol´friends !
I could not pass this expression
of friendship without saying that
I am more than honored by your well
wishes as I have turned a new page
in my life ! I will not forget you
but I know that you will forget me
and that sooner than you think !:))
The show must go on even if
everyone isn´t on board !:))
I am thankful to have such friends
as you (I even think I wrote a song
called "Friendship")!
Without your encouragement and support
I certainly would not have written and
posted 37 tunes during 2014 !:))
I´m gonna miss you all !:))
"May the roads always rise to meet you
and may the wind be always at your back"
as taken from "Irish Blessing" a tune that
we barbershoppers love to sing to a very
good arrangement by Don Gray !:))
Take Care
Dani

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
