Very nicely put together video and heartfelt song tribute to the fallen heroes from your town.

Nice mix and vocal too. You didn't mention what tracks you used but they sound good.

John,

This was/is a terrible tragedy for very brave firefighters.

Your music would be loved by them all.

We live in in Northern Calif. back in the sticks. Just a matter
of time before we are hit. Live and Dread every summer for about 6 months.

This is a great honor you have bestowed upon these folks and their families.

Thanks for your efforts and hard work, sharing with us all.

John,
A wonderful tribute for those 19 heroes. I hope each one of their family members hears your beautiful song and treasures it forever.
This is why we write, sing, record, and publish our music. To be able to do something special for people. To maybe make things a little bit better somehow. We should all take inspiration from your work.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Mike

Floyd Jane: Thanks for your comments. I sure appreciate it.

seeker: Thanks for listening. Yes, it makes you nervous to live in the dry west. We had two fires this year: one about 6 miles from our house and the Yarnell Hill fire about 35 miles away where the Granite Mountain Hotshots died.

Noel: I appreciate you listening. I always enjoy your songs.

boehm: Thanks. Some day I hope to be as inventive as you.

SpaceDog. Yes, I hope the families and other firefighters find something for them in the song.

Excellent tribute and song. Fire fighters and police are the 2 most under recognized jobs, but without both the world would be chaos. Thanks for sharing!

Later,


Danny beat me to it but this is exactly what I would have said if I heard this first.

All I can add is a big WOW this is just fantastic


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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.

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."
