Next Monday and Tuesday at 3pm London time, Joanne's beautiful song "I Only Wrote The Telegrams" will be played by a DJ friend who, upon auditioning the song, said he absolutely loved it.
Thanks too to Bob Buford for his wonderful guitar work.

Josie,
Please tell the tragic background story that Keith lived during the Vietnam era. Only now, some 40 years later, is he able to tell his story.

Keith Stempfley was a quiet young man from a small town in Northern Minnesota. He always enjoyed singing, entertaining his grade school classmates who didn’t know he actually wrote some of the songs he sang. Kathi Baraga Chase was helping find people for what will be their 50 year class reunion in 2018. When they called for the names of veterans to honor at the reunion, Keith stepped forward and included the poem. So taken by her friends words, she reached out to her friend Donald Gaynor, Thinking the words were worthy of music. Keith, a man of peace, ended up enlisting. He didn’t end up on the front lines. He instead was given the position of notifying the survivors of those who so valiantly gave their lives. He, himself eventually developed PTSD, but remained at Ft. Lesley J McNair, Headquarters for the Military District of Washington in a position involving cases of soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital who shared the condition, to help get them get medically discharged. While attending San Francisco State he became involved with a veteran’s outreach program His words ARE his story and he dedicates this song not only to those who lost their lives, but to those that had to bring the worst possible news to surviving loved ones.
And here is a note I received on Facebook.
"Joanne, thank you for the most incredible birthday present, the most incredible gift, I have ever received. Twelve years after writing the poem that stopped my nightmares, forty-five years after the events that started all this in motion, because of your gift (your voice, your tune and the vital changes you made in my poem), I feel I finally have permission to cry about what I went through in the Army. I will be grateful to you as long as I live."

As a disabled veteran ( not service related ) I cry unashamed when hearing Keith's poem so beautifully put to music and sung by you. Your talent continues to amaze me, dear friend.
Although stationed in Germany during the Vietnam era, I lost many dear friends to that "meat-grinder" while I, in comparative safety, liberated the gasthauses in Germany. Danny Campo liberated the gators in Biloxi, Mississippi.
I sincerely hope that something positive comes of this UK exposure. You've certainly paid your dues.
Donny

Congrats, Joanne, and all involved with the project. It's a a powerful song.
I'm a disabled Vietnam vet (4th Infantry Division) and I appreciate what you have done. And my very best to Keith. Fortunately, I escaped the clutches of PTSD but fully understand the issues faced by those who have gone down that road ... and still do.
I wish you much success with this, and all your other ventures. Thank you for your contribution to assisting those who might benefit from your kindness and compassion. God Bless.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
