The physical writing down of the lyrics idea I had is working! I tried it today. I wrote down the lyrics for Christmas In Killarney, thought about the story line and I had learnt it in an hour. Another hour and I had the chords cracked. Now it is a bit slow but I know where I am and what I'm doing. Just need to keep the story in front of my eyes and I'm there! Wahey!
What is a 'flip' video?

i paid us$80 for mine. it has a 'flip' out usb connector and the firmware is built in. no software to install. resolution is more than adequate for youtube uploads and you can shoot about two hours of video with fresh alkaline piles (batteries). shirt-pocket convenience, one button operation. albeit mono audio. sam, have squint: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Flip-Video-U32120B/15120637mine is an earlier model but looks identical. if you shop the web you can find great bargains on them. a caveat...they simply devour batteries (piles).

Thanks for the input! I am running up against a brick wall and runing out of money rapidly so there ain't no way I am going to spend that kind of money on a vidcam. Sorry

That's the ticket! It's all I've ever done. (Well, almost; I can read for voice and bass--but I rarely memorize when I do.) I believe it is the fastest and most effective way to learn SONGS for performance. Way ta go!

Folks have different levels of retaining things in their memory. There are some who can go over s song a few times and perform them. They piss me off, I'm not one of them. It's true you do have to repeat the song over and over to memorize it. But there are a few tricks you can use to help.
1. Mind pictures-
Your memory works in pictures every day. That's the way is works best.
For example if the song is about a guy going out drinking picture a guy doing just that. "I've been a wild rover for many a year" and then picture what he did wasting his time and money "I spent all my money on whiskey and beer".
Do this for the rest of the song. I learned this song in just a couple of days using mind pictures.
2. Association-
Use a number system ex. 1 to 3 and make a rhyme for each verse
ex. 1-run (1st v.) picture a guy running away staggering down a street drunk (the more vivid and imaginative the better you remember it.)
2-zoo (2nd v.) "I went to the bar that I used to frequent" Picture a guy with a monkey and a bunch of zoo animals walking into a bar-
do this for each verse 3-tree 4-door etc.
3- Acronyms-
Form words that help you think of a main word or idea in each verse-
For example I learned the song Moonshadow by Cat Steevens in one day by using the word HELM. Whenever I sing that song I think of that word first and I've got the song nailed in two seconds. How you say-
The first verse-If I ever lose my "h" hands lose my plough lose my land (once you get hand the rhyme helps you get the rest-lose my plough lose my land
2nd v. If I ever lose my "e" eyes...
3rd v. If I ever lose my "l" land...
4th v. If I ever lose my "m" mouth..... hope this helps.

Ahhhh, Ed... Sorry, but "l" stands for "legs" and not "land." Are you grappling with foreclosure? What we need is a mnemonic to let us know where we left our memory. Daisy

Sorry Daisy haven't sung that one in a while. Just an example of how my mind isn't that great either. But at least I got my acyonym right. I should have remembered that one because my wife has great legs LOL.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
