Hi and Merry Christmas to all my PG friends.
I am in intensive care in a hospital in New Braunfels TX, recovering from complications due to a serious case of strep throat. I ask for your prayers, knowing that with God all things are possible. I look forward to sharing music with my friends again in the very near future!
God bless you all!

Steve,
It's GOT to be crummy spending Christmas in the hospital! (But I've heard of people spending it in a stable when there was no room at the inn, so You're in good company.)
As others have said, take good care of yourself and get out of there ASAP and write a song about being in the hospital for Christmas.
We'll keep you in our prayers! As much as is possible, I hope you have a blessed and enjoyable Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Steve. Keep trusting and keep looking up.
Trust that you get out of that place, soon.
I'll look forward to listening to your next piece of music.
God Bless,

I spent one in a war zone.....
If any of you know a family with a child or spouse who is away serving our country and can not get home for the holidays, think about giving them a call over Christmas. Parents or spouses in that state will ALWAYS appreciate someone calling to let them talk, vent or cry on their shoulder. Or just to know that someone cared enough to call.

Hi Steve - so sorry to hear the news. You'll be in my thoughts this Christmas. Strep can be a nasty little thing when it spreads to other parts of the body.
I'm hoping the hospital will allow you some Christmas leniency when it comes to visitors. You mention "recovery" - any projected date?
God bless you, Steve - Ian

Merry Christmas to all my friends at PG Forum! I am still in intensive care. Not where I intended to spend Christmas this year! I want to first of all celebrate the birth of my Savior Jesus Christ! And I am so thankful for my very supportive wife and family. And you guys at the PG Forum are such a real treasure! I have felt your prayers throughout this entire ordeal. Thank you so much! My body finally started responding to treatments yesterday evening and I had the first good night of rest since Tuesday. I hope to get upgraded to a regular room by tonight , and be able to go home within a very few days. So you are not rid of me yet! I'm still pretty weak and intend to milk that for all it's worth when I get home. Again thanks so much for your prayers and so very kind words. You guys are the greatest!

Steve, remember that everything's bigger in Texas, and that by logic includes infections!! So take an extra few days of BIGGER rest to chase that BIGGER infection away!! And we'll all help with BIGGER prayers!

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.

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."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.

This page has SoundCloud built in, so it won't redirect you. We've also added the link to the Artists SoundCloud page here, and a link to their forum post.
