Lana Mason appears regularly on SJ and I understand that she is related to our own Brent Mason.

Lana has a very powerful voice and perfect pitch (at least to my ears). She sings Broadway Show Tunes but will also do requests for her viewers.

I especially enjoyed the fact that she looks appropriately dressed for her age. That's very refreshing.

She does show a very good sense of intonation, Don.

A showing such as this cannot really ascertain if she has Absolute Pitch or not, but in reality it is the Relative Pitch in accordance with a tuning standard that really counts.

I look forward to following this young lady's endeavors.

Strong Performance.

I tuned her SJ performance a few days back and she was sweet enough to sing a request for me. Her video personality is so sweet and personable. Next show, I want to request "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" from Annie. I think she'd ace that tune.

She sings with such conviction and energy.

Incidentals, she was accompanied by her dad on guitar but I haven't figured out her relationship to Brent yet. Perhaps I'll just ask her outright.

Her diction is very good and I understood every word. Her home is in Nashville so, in that regard, she doesn't have far to go. Often aging can be very cruel to singers but I'm sure that she'll get top notch voice training. At any rate, she owns this old Irishman's 'art.

Dang...

I just noticed my next performance on SJ was in the same time slot as LanaEve's... so I changed it to an hour later.

to quote Mac:

maybe I can at least get some spillover audience after she's finished....

speaking of LanaEve...

in every picture, her head is tilted to the side like a puppy. I wonder if somebody has given her tips on being photogenic, or if her computer is tilted and she's just trying to see it straight.

I think you'll at least hold your own, Pat. You are building a nice fan base and you are well loved by all.

Talented family.

Edited: But then again he is on the same stage as a cute talented kid.:>

Later,

Lana broadcast an hour or so on www.streetjelly.com last night and brought the house down (again). I asked her if she has professional voice training and she said no.

I noticed her tendency to clear her throat very violently and that can't be good.

Her dad, Randy Mason, is Brent's brother. Randy's day gig is as drummer/guitarist in the house band at Ryman Auditorium's Grand Ole Opry. As such he's backed everyone who is anyone in Country music (as well as many Pop artists). Randy and Brent have an album out together as a guitar duo. That would be something to hear. It's available on Brent's site.

Lana turned 16 a couple days ago an got her driver's license (probably a learner's permit) yesterday. Look out Nashville and possibly all of Tennessee!

She's a very talented young lady. I'd like to catch one of her SJ performances.

Bob, I challenge you to watch/listen to this beautiful young lady without falling madly in love with her. I doubt it's possible.

Some Village Idiot made a sexual innuendo toward her and was INSTANTLY BANNED! I mean right now! Don't pass go, do not collect $200, Goodbye!

When Lana learned that my wife, Joanne, was disabled and that "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" from the musical "Annie" had special significance to Joanne and me, she immediately posted her fabulous rendition on YouTube. I asked her not to use own last name. The world needs more Lana Masons and I and Joanne love her dearly. Thanks again Lana!

Watch the show schedule, she's on nearly every day after supper/dinner, Nashville (Eastern) Time.

Bobert, Lana is scheduled to do a show Tuesday, 11/19 at 9 o'clock Central Time (10 Eastern) but you may want to confirm it as they often juggle times. Apparently, nobody is comfortable with time zones yet. I nearly missed JosieC yesterday but she lovingly repeated the few songs that I had been tardy on. Street Jelly abounds with great talent. I know that you will enjoy yourself.

Cya there Amico.

I noticed that too, Pat. It makes her even more endearing, the puppy look.

I had three nurses watching her and they all would kill for Lana's hair. I encouraged her to keep it, its her persona.

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."
