I have also been using bb over 25 years. I was living in Dawson City, Yukon at the time and I also purchased my first version on big floppies from the old black and white ad. I fell in love with the program right away.

My son lived in Victoria and was doing some computer work for Peter Gannon. He mentioned to Peter, that his Mum loved the bb program. Peter asked my son for my address and sent me a couple of style disks for free. I was absolutely thrilled to get the disks and have been a loyal customer ever since. He also invited me to beta test.

I'm still here and beta testing, although now I also live in Victoria.

PGMusic and Peter and all their staff have always put their customer service first. Peter is kind to all, and over the years has made numerous minor changes to the program from user requests, even if those changes involved many many hours of work. Sure, they are a business that wants to sell the software, but unlike most other companies, PGMusic cares about its user base and is always available to solve a problem, or answer a question. Peter is obviously a businessman but I think he is a musician first and foremost and that is why his heart and soul is in this wonderful program and why he cares about all of us as we are all musicians.

Thanks Peter and staff.

Gee, I think I've been a BIAB user since 1993 so I'm not far behind some of you guys and girls. Fabulous software and gee how it's evolved over the years into what it is now.

Allanah...they are a business that wants to sell the software, but unlike most other companies, PGMusic cares about its user base and is always available to solve a problem.


Yea it is a brilliant software program ..I not long ago bought the ultra pack.

And when the release of 2017 came I could have let that go. As I was still in the maze of the ultra pack..still going through all the styles and reading the manual..I was gone ...musical heaven !

Then I listened to the demos for 2017..well I thought a lot of work had gone in to this the sounds are amazing.

So I done my bit on supporting pg music. and upgraded to everything pak...if we don't invest in biab...then where would the money come from for the future of the business.


Take care

Yes, Peter is a kind person, and that is reflected on the staff he hires. In all the years I've been a user, I've always found the staff to be both friendly and professional. Peter runs his business with us in mind. That not only makes him a good person, but a good businessman.

It also reflects on this forum. I post in a half dozen, but this one feels like extended family.
