Some tunes are so dated that no jazz musician would play them today. But, if you slow them way down to a ballad, beautiful changes emerge and provide a solid vehicle for reharmonizing and improvising. One example is "Lullaby of Birdland" for those who know it. Vibezilla and RealTracks star Steve Nelson solos behind Neil Swainson's bass, Terry Clarke on drums. I only state the head, comp, and improvise a bit on the final statement of the head. I've played this for musicians with ears so powerful they could probably navigate this world by echolocation. None of them has identified the source of this ballad. CAN YOU? Listen to "Portrait of L" https://soundcloud.com/aleckrand/portrait-of-l

Theme from I Love Lucy. Composer: Eliot Daniel

At least, that's what I heard in the first 30 seconds; I stopped after that. Was 99% sure after the first 14.

Happy New Year everybody! Well, that didn't take long. You have it Matt. Considering all the re-runs of "I Love Lucy" (plus syndication to 150 or so countries) we have here one of the most heard TV songs on the planet. Even if you never saw a single episode, you can get a feel for how times and culture have changed by listening to the late Desi Arnaz sing the theme that inspired "Portrait of L." Buckle your seat belts and listen: http://www.televisiontunes.com/I_Love_Lucy_-_Desi_Arnez.html

Never mind reruns, I remember some of the original shows.

But, what do I win? (kidding)

As Ralph Cramden used to say to Alice on the Honeymooners, "You wanna a prize, Alice? You say you wanna PRIZE?? WELL, HOW'S ABOUT A TRIP TO THE MOON - BANG! ZOOM! Matt, you must have been around as I was back in those days, so that phrasing should ring a bell. Obviously, it's going to take something even more cleverly disguised to fool the likes of you. I'm working on it.

There's a cartoon circulated recently on Facebook. Astronauts land on the moon, take a walk, and find Alice.

I saw it some time ago, they read a name tag . . . says here Alice Cramden. Floored me
I just wondered why it too so many years.

PS: Till today for some strange weird reason I always call Fly Me To The Moon, the Alice Cramden song

Later,

Ciao Mario, grazie per le gentili parole. Collaboration - what a great idea. Favoloso, man! I'm game too, but first here are a couple of questions for you and all forum participants. Don't laugh. (1) What is a "drop box?" Where do you find such a thing? (2) How do you send a private reply to, say, you or TANO or anyone in the forum?

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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.
