Hello Pat !:))
LOL, yes I have always been a big fan of the Beach Boys (vocals) and The Shadows (instros) !!:) The style is Chuck Berry, though, but I like Chuck too (LOL)
I do not know how I came to do this but I think I got carried away as usual ?
Cheers Dani

I'd say Beach Boys meet the Fifth Dimension. With a little "See You In September" (The Happenings) thrown in....
Those are some cool harmonies, Dani...

Cheers Dude Daniel Huntington Beach is in Southern California (Orange County), and it's famous for surfing. Surfers used to "shoot" the HB pier - surf right through the barnacle-encrusted pier pilings. Very hairy with a big surf! They eventually outlawed the practice, but hardcore surfers still do it. Want to get a surfer to do something? Tell him not to do it! Regards, Bob

Hi Dani.
One listen and already I'm waxing down my board and ready to hit the beach.
Sadly, the "bushy, bushy blond hairdo" is a thing of the past.
Great Beach Boys sound - loved it!
ROG.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
