Oh wow. Thank you so much, Dr Gannon, and everyone at PG Music. I really appreciate this, more than you may perhaps be able to imagine, and certainly more than my meagre words may be able to express.

I'll just say this: this is the best musical software product in the world, I firmly believe. Without it, none of my songs, absolutely none, would have been written. Band-in-a-Box has proved to be not only the catalyst for my songs, for my imagination, but also the vehicle for their accompaniment and arrangement. And what a vehicle ... it sounds as professional, for me at least, as any band one could book in person, and often even better, because the musicians Band-in-a-Box uses are some of the top professionals around, and the software itself (as we British sometimes say) "does exactly what it says on the tin", and more smile

On top of your professionalism and top-notch product, you also treat your customers with such kindness, as evidenced also by this very award you've offered annually, for at least as long as I've been here. I am humbled to be in the company of such genuinely great musicians, and so honoured to receive this wonderful prize.

Thank you again.
