As per Rob's comment, it's all been said, and every plaudit is thoroughly deserved. (I checked out the Jimmy Buffett song Greg mentioned, by the way, as it isn't one I'd heard, so an added bonus!) Regards, Leon

Stefan "the entertainer" comes through again. A crisp almost sing along blues shuffle with honking. Loved it.

Great rocker with nice progression. Enjoyable vocals and whole mix. Those horns are simply superb, excellent work! Clever title and the lyrics have many funny and great moments like "The doctor loves his wife and the pastor loves to pray,the teacher loves his books and the postman is gay." Good work with the video too, I admire your patience to make all those details  Janne

Hi Greg,
I finally managed to have a look and listen to JB's 'If the Phone Doesn't Ring'. Oh boy, if I had known about that song (with even the complete lien '... you'll know that it's me') I don't think I would have used it... I guess that Geraldine must have heard that song some time and remebered it without knowing... But luckily Jimmy and I had really different approaches to the topic... And he can sing...
All the best,
Stefan

That was a lot of fun to watch and listen to! Nice mix, clever music, fun video!  (And good work with the horns!) Thank you very much for your kind words, David. I'm really glad you enjoyed both the song and the video. Take care, Stefan

That was fun! The title (chorus) is clever and quite a hook. Solid production and songwriting. I listened to the audio first and then went to the video. I'm glad I did. Excellent production work on the video too. Hi Scott, I'm always flattered to get your nice comments on my stuff, so I'd like to thank you this time, too, for your positive notes. It's always great to get to know that others enjoy what I meant to be funny (because you never know...). All the best, Stefan

Brilliant video - amazing job very inventive and a superb collection of wigs.
Rocking blues song - excellent mix, sounds pro all the way.
Clever, inventive & funny - a complete package.
Peter Hello Peter, thank you so much for your kind review which means a lot to me. I passed your kind words on the mix and production to Maha whom you made really happy with your comment. Cheers, Stefan

Dear Janice, dear Bud, well, well, well - well, well, well ... what am I supposed to reply to this incredibly nice comment... OK, in the first place I can (and will) say 'Thank you so much !!!!', but then I have to add immediately that your reviews always are sonething very special to Maha and me, because we know about your incredible musical and technical abilities. Maha is still blushing because of your kind remarks on her mixing (hope that she'll be getting her normal color of complexion again soon, because blushing that much reminds me of people with too high blood pressure...  ) You bet we had tons of fun recording the video, especially recording Mr Saxy was a very special experience, believe me. Well, you're wondering what might have happened after the bras had flown onto the stage... Now that you've got to know me a bit you will believe me that the members of any of my bands had their moral standards (what do you mean by 'which level?'?) and there's no doubt that Peter..., I mean I'm sure that..., I guess that Peter... eh... I hope that Peter remebered what they say about poison ivy: You can look, but you better not touch!' But now, as I'm thinking the scene over and over again, I'm not that faithful anymore - after all there's temptation lurking everywhere (as we both, Budd, will blurredly remeber from our younger days). No, we don't have a closet full of wigs. We have two closets full of wigs. And mustaches and beards. And sun-glasses. And costumes none of us would dare to wear in the public. (Unless we'd get a lot of money to do so, that is...) Thank you once again for your very kind words - they do mean soooooo much to us. Have a nice weekend and take care, Stefan

Regards, Leon Hi Leon, thanks a lot for your kind remark - I'm glad you liked the song and video. Finally checked out the Jimmy Buffet song, too, a couple of days ago - I don't feel comfortable with the fact that I (unknowingly) - used the same words, but apart from that there are so many differences between his and my song. In the first place: He can sing... Cheers, Stefan

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
