I am looking for the Forum Eddie, I think he went by the handle Eddie 2988. I had a copy of his CD and would like to get another one. I lost the other one, and he had some really good songs on that. If anyone knows how to get a-hold of him please either let him know or post a link where I can contact him.

If the user is Eddie1261, then I think he has left the forums.

I sent him an email to one I have in my contact list. Hopefully, it's still active and he'll get the message.

There’s Eddie Icelander and there is Eddie from Ohio who plays keyboard and tenor sax. I have corresponded with the second but not in a long time. And I think AudioTrack is right.

Eddie1261 made an announcement several months ago that he was leaving the forums. I sent him my contact email in a PM before he left but never received a reply. He was an avid follower of the Hindley Street Country Club, an Australian band, and that's how we came to exchange several messages. He shows up now as 'Deleted User'. He was a spirited participant. Not everyone might have agreed with him, but he was often well versed in his contributions. He sure called it as he saw it.

This was one of our online conversations. Is this the Eddie you are inquiring about?

He made this same announcement more than once during my time here! Maybe this time he really meant it? I hope he didn't leave the game entirely.

JJJ, I asked him to reconsider, and he replied that he was already selling all of his gear. It seems that he made moves here to be removed from the forums.

Here's a link to the thread:

Eddie said to give Trapper his email, which I did.
(check PMs Trapper)
That's about as resolved as we can get it.

Great RHarv, at least from that communication we know that he's OK.

Last I saw..... Yes it's Eddie1261 and he has left the forums. He also was selling his gear. I think it was mostly health related issues that was causing him to sell the gear so it went to someone who could appreciate it before he dies and family gets it.

I'm not sure what's going on as I haven't heard from him in a while. Maybe I should try to find out.

Also Pat Marr is MIA for a while now. He was in Winston Salem NC

On top of the whole thing, both of those guys were kind of reclusive so making contact is complicated by that issue.

I just sent an email to both. I'll report on any contact

Report: Pat Marr undeliverable email.

Yes, I thought Pat had been performing fairly recently. I’ll email him and see if it goes through.

EDIT: Pat is fine. I have permission to give out an email that works if you want to PM me. But he said he will be back here soon once the new 2025 version is released.

Eddie replied to me. He's doing fine with a few medical issues.

If anyone wants his email address just hit me up with a PM.

Thank you, to all of you. I just got an e-mail off to him. He mentioned that he made that music exclusively with BIAB it was incredible. I didn't know you could do that with BIAB. I had a man helping me with arrangements for a lot of cover songs that I did and I realized it was possible, he has passed away from Covid. I learned a lot about Band in a Box since then. I am going to be ordering the upcoming 2025 in the hard drive when it goes on sale in December. Thank you all for giving me his contact info. I hope he will be OK! Thanks again.

Thanks to everybody, I have connected with him. and he has given me a link to download his CD. He has left the forum, he said the reason's for this was that he is having a lot of problems, well that is one of the reasons. But thank you everyone, I really appreciate it.
