Sat out in the park last night listening to Dr. Mudd. Good performance with a guitar holding down the standard rhythms and licks to carry off the covers nicely. Rock Standard covers from 60's and 70's. Then they played Tupelo Honey from Van Morrison - it was great to hear that tune. Got up this morning and laid out all the chords in BIAB, got the lyrics and I am off to the races with a new addition to my set list.

Trying to come up with a reason to love cover bands.... LOL!!!!
But that is a can of worms I don't care to open yet again.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

I'm trying too. No luck yet and it's been over 35 years.
I think I liked them when I was a kid, before I played.

Short version is that I have believed forever that if you sit chimps down in a room full of instruments and play "Louie Louie" over and over for enough years that eventually the chimps will play the song. Of course that is exaggerated and overstated, but there is a line between "someone who can play an instrument" and "musician". That line is typically about expression and depth of knowledge about the music itself and not the reproduction of that music. I consider myself to be in that second group, and in fact you should see the looks I get when I go to hear the Cleveland Orchestra summer concert series at our large outdoor venue. I take the music with me and follow along as they perform it. I literally take a briefcase with the score to whatever is on the program and spread it out on the lawn in front of me and follow along. Everybody looks at me like I am nuts, and I may be, but I enjoy doing that, so heck with 'em.
For my tastes, I would rather sit through a set of weak original material than a well covered set of copy music. I want to experience a musician's entire game, and that includes their own ideas, their own lyric writing, their musical soul bared for every one to see.
A local guy here once had a lyric "And then something went wrong as he watched as his songs met a slow death of silence....the worst." And that "deer in the headlights" look you get from the crowd when you play something they have not heard as backdrop for their favorite Toyota commercial can be kind of like that.
On the other edge of that sword though are the happy times when you hear original music that is extremely well written and extremely well performed. I saw a local songwriter this weekend who is home from Nashville for a week of shows and as I said my good night's to her I mentioned that so many of her songs are both cerebral and visceral, where they give you something to think about but they give you something to feel. She wrote one about never giving up that was quite moving and will likely eventually be covered by some country heavyweight. It was THAT good.
And the serendipity of hearing a show like that is that is gets MY juices flowing. After that I found myself writing from ideas I got while listening to her. In fact I looked like an idiot sitting there singing melodies and typing lyrics into my iPhone so I would remember them when I got home. (Hey, I AM 60.....)
And that is the reason I am still looking for a reason to love cover bands. Now I have a lot of friends who play in cover bands, and I love the PEOPLE so I go out to support them, but man, toss one original in every set..... let me see the thinking, creative side of your musical face.

There is a lot to what you say Eddie, but there is a very large truth in the fact that many people who go out to hear music played, go to hear a memory, to be taken somewhere in the past, and to be reminded of special events and times. That is where a good cover band comes in. So i think that both of those worlds have valid reasons to be. Original tunes hardly ever go over well in a bar, or restuarant setting, even throw in the holiday Inn LOL. Famous big time performers are asked to play they most popular hits year after year , after year.
I remember many years ago when Elton John said he would never play "Your song" again, but you know he realized as the years went by people loved that old memory, and he includes in in his shops again.
Then go to a open mike night at a local pub or coffee shop, and you will hear a interesting mix of original tunes some really cool, some so bad it hurts, covers some done similar to the original, others a rare gem of expression. I remember a few weeks back some of my younger friends talked me into a open mike night, i played a very old tune from J.D. Souther, and most of my young buddies thought it was an original. So I guess i got the best of both worlds on that one.
The best thing about music is that there is a whole bunch of ways to enjoy it.

Great conversation!!!
Actually I have been active and persistent on trying to get some clubs to have an open stage showcase night. Trying to get one east, one west and one south (If I go any more north I am IN Lake Erie.) and provide backline so bands or solo artists can come in and see if their songs fly.
I agree that the "cover bands" are necessary, and played in them for YEARS. Was in a great Motown band that owned the town for a couple of years.
The point about the "famous big time performers" is well taken, and if I were a multi million selling performer with that catalog I would draw from it too. But alas, I am yet another local level guy trying to write the next White Christmas. I have experienced that deer in the headlights thing several times sneaking in an original, but the perspective has changed since the days when I played to pay my bills. Now I really don't care IF there is money much less how much. By the same token, I won't play cover music in a regularly playing band, so I am out of the game pretty much outside of writing for this CD of country music (1st time trying country) that I want to record and do a release event in fall. And I am part of a legacy band in Cleveland that does a reunion show in November, but that is like 15 originals and 15 covers so I get my "you can't hear this ANYWHERE but here" fix.
Nobody will ever say playing covers does NOT take talent, especially me. My point is that writing "completes" people as musicians (STANDARD DISCLAIMER) in my humble opinion. I wouldn't sit at my computer and type in Moby Dick and call it "writing a book".
Again, IMHO.....
PS The chimps said I wasn't good enough..... and all they knew were songs done by The Monkees....

Forbes released the top 25 musicians :
1. U2: $195 mil
2. Bon Jovi: $125 mil
3. Elton John: $100 mil
4. Lady Gaga: $90 mil
5. Michael Buble: $70 mil
6. Paul McCartney: $67 mil
7. Black Eyed Peas: $61 mil
8. The Eagles: $60 mil
9. Justin Bieber: $53 mil
10. Dave Matthews Band: $51 mil
11. Toby Keith: $50 mil
12. Usher: $46 mil
13. Taylor Swift: $45 mil
14. Katy Perry: $44 mil
15. Brad Paisley: $40 mil
Now, of those, Buble is the one who does the most covers, about 80 percent.
I liked his version of "Save the Last Dance for Me..." and Quando Quando Quando.
If you see him live it's a LOT of showmanship. Something we average guys are often lacking when in front of the audience. Then again I'm off the wall and anything might happen. But now that I sound like Louis Armstrong and look like Nicholas Cage I'm getting respect until start walking and they go 'he's drunk'. LOL. Permanently drunk and wobbly.

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."
