“Small wonders all around take our breath away. The little things that make us pause can brighten everyday.” OH YES!! This is great, Marty, and we are reminded every morning by this quote pasted on the frig door: “Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.” It’s a very joyful band to accompany the delightful lyrics and your vocal is soothing. A lso, the pipa is very cool. We enjoyed the appearance of your smiling face in the video too. Nice open mix. Cool soundstage on the monitors. Enjoyed it! J&B

“Up in the lookout tree countless hours determined to see that patience would pay the morning buffet for the bird of prey.” Patience is assuredly a virtue for raptors! We were immediately hooked by the lyric subject. We often enjoy seeing our local hawks, eagles and osprey. Your lyric certain does them justice! Very cool video Th BiaB band sounds great with the Liam synth. And the mix is excellent. The soaring guitar is perfect for the birds in flight. Enjoyed it! J&B

Hi Bob and Joliz! Such a good theme for a song. I remember growing up my older brother and I listening to AM radio while we were (meant to be) doing our homework - back in ‘74 and ‘75. Your fingerpicking is really crisp and clear, and I love the way Joliz’s vocal comes in - like the aural equivalent of heat shimmer off a hot road - it also reminded me of sounds down the wire. Really good. Good video as well - and a cool connection from James (musician17) as well! Andrew

Hi Rob! I am aware of this song but only the final (title) line of each verse, so now I can say I’ve heard the whole thing. Your harp solo sounded as smooth as silk, and loved your scatting as well. The scatting pulls the listener back to wanting to hear words again, so it’s a kind of tension and release move. Loved it! Andrew

Hello PG Music, I would appreciate some clarification about the VAT charged on orders shipped to Germany. For my order, VAT appears to be charged by PG Music at checkout. At the same time, for a USB hard drive imported into Germany, I understand that I may also have to pay 19% German import VAT upon import, usually collected by the transport carrier before or at delivery. Could you please explain: • What exact type of VAT or tax is being charged by PG Music at checkout? • To which authority is this VAT paid? • Does this payment replace the German import VAT, or do I still have to pay 19% import VAT in Germany when the shipment arrives? • In other words, is there a risk that I am being charged VAT twice — once by PG Music and once again by the German authorities? I would be grateful for a clear explanation of how this is handled for shipments to Germany, especially for orders delivered on a USB hard drive. Thank you very much in advance. Norbert P.S.: Additionally, I would like to know why this year you no longer offer a download-only upgrade option, as you did in 2025.

Aww, Vic! "Hiraeth", in Welsh, means simply a deep longing for something, someone, or somewhere which never actually was. That was what I was aiming for

Hi Torrey. What a fantastic song! From start to finish this is professional. Your song songwriting, arranging and producing shine brightly. Those opening two lines of the chorus, "The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart," really captured my imagination. These are not only powerful lyrics because of the very clever word-play, they are also powerful because they resonate with one of Life's universal truths. This song is yet another very impressive musical creation. I really enjoyed listening. --Noel

Hi Mario! This is a nice piece! At first, I was confused as I thought ‘There aren’t 14 months in a year?’  Seriously, I was going to suggest ‘Contentment’ as a title, but then it got slightly dark towards the end, so I don’t know. Maybe ‘Old person sitting in a chair’? I’ve always liked the sound of the English horn - I think that’s also called a Cor Anglais? I could be mistaken. Anyway - a lovely piece. 14th April is my Mum’s birthday, so it’s meaningful. Andrew Sorry Andrew I forgot that other parts of the globe use a different order for dates. You did give me an idea though as I just might do a song and call it "February 30th" I looked it up and yes the English horn is called the Cor Anglais. "Old Man Sitting in a Chair" is my theme song! Plus it is true! I'm glad you liked it.

Hi Shigeki Adachi. You've done it again! Absolutely superb music and truly wonderful listening. There can be no doubt about it, you are a master songwriter, arranger and producer. This remix was definitely worth the effort. I also compliment Natsuki Yoshikawa on her excellent vocals, and Miya Nakajima's jazz piano playing was first-class. You know some very, very talented people It never stops ceasing to amaze me just how very skillful you are. --Noel

That was a very interesting article Jim so thanx for posting it. I really liked the music from those "outlaw" days. Willie, Merle, Waylon, David Allan Coe, etc were at their best during that time period. Please no hate mail. That is just my opinion and YMMV.

Another Synthesizer V (short Synth V) user here. Synth V isn't an AI like Suno, which means you can't just give it a command/prompt and it'll do the rest. Instead, you have to edit the notes, tempo, and lyrics (down to the syllable level), in other words, the entire prosody, in one way or another. It can be tedious at times, but you have complete control over the result. If you'd like to hear some examples: On my YouTube channel, all the songs from “Can't Get To The Other Side” and older are done exclusively with Synth V.

Great songwriter! Wrote a lot of very popular tunes. His recorded version of "The Gambler" is fairly different from the version Kenny Rogers made famous.

F bombs? We'd say about average for one episode of so many series nowadays. We're late to the party but we've read all the comments and, for us, DC nailed it. Regarding the narrative it needs to be said in whatever way grasps attention. And it was very well stated. All of the tracks and the great mix yielded a stadium filling sound. It setup a standout soundstage on our monitors. Simply EPIC! And really driven home with the video. Wow. Kudos and a helluva great production! J&B Thank you Janice, thank you Bud, for your nice and positive feedback. Much appreciated

Wow, what nice comments! Hey, BD, thank you very much and that's a wonderful compliment from you! Your songs are terrific. John Hi, Andrew! Thank you for listening...twice! I've used Clay Collins for vocals on a few of my songs but I don't think he's available anymore. I always enjoy it when I come up with a catchy upbeat tune. It's always delightful to get a message from you. I really enjoy your tunes as well. John Thank you, Bob, AurealiusB, and WaoBand, for your comments and enjoyment of the song! Hi, Mario! I think the music industry lost the craft of songwriting a couple of decades ago. I've noticed the lyrics are sung in 32nd and 64th notes instead of the 8th and 16th notes we grew up with. And there's nothing like a catchy upbeat tune as well! Thank you very much for your comments, especially the one where we need more music like this! I'll treasure that! John Hi, KDYa! I got a comment from Art Corey that he thought it was too short, too. Well, short and sweet! I've asked him to get on the forums because he's the one who introduced me to Band in a Box! Anyway, I'm happy you enjoyed the song. Thank you very much! John

Hi John, Please revisit your initial post. There is a button at the bottom of the initial post that marks the thread as resolved. That will help others when searching for a solution to the same issue. Also, once you have the program working like you want there are selections to save and load settings. If you have to reset to factory settings you can load your settings in a few seconds.

Yep, happiness is definitely green! Love the instrumentation in this, including the fiddle solo. Hi WB. Thank you heaps for having a listen. I appreciate your comments, too. When it comes to instrumentation, I'm definitely not in your league. I always admire what you do immensely. Thanks again, --Noel
