Man, I'm soooo glad you put this on here! After playing guitar for years, my dad cut the tip of one of his left fingers off, so he switched to a steel. I spent most my childhood with a pedal steel in my living room. I love that instrument! I first met Paul Franklin when I was 18. He was in his 20's and already playing for Mel Tillis. My dad now lives near Nashville and occasionally goes to recording sessions. About 6 months ago I got a call from my dad - I thought. It turned out Dad was at a session again and he had Paul give me a call from my dad's phone! I've met him and his folks a few times through the years, but he wouldn't remember me. Still we had quite a laugh and joked on the phone with each other for quite a while. In addition to being an ace on the steel, he's also just a real nice guy.
I'm looking forward to hearing more of your steel songs. I love to hear Tom play steel, but had no idea about Ronnie's background. I won't mention it here, because I don't know if I'm supposed to know, but I've learned that another one of the highly respected pedal steel guitar players in Nashville has done some tracks for PG Music, so I'm hoping we'll have yet another great one to pull from in the near future! Can't wait to hear what you'll do with that!!

Thanks for the mention, actually during the 60s, Gene was still working for Fender, and he said Leo Fender sent him to machinists school to learn the craft of making steel guitars. He founded GFI in the 70s, and was actually inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame. For a long time, Vince Gill used John Hughey as his steel player who made the famous break on "Look At Us". After he passed away, Vince asked Paul Franklin to take his place and he has done a marvelous job!!

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!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
