So, this is the second song I wrote during the Song Challenge time window.... The first, Christmas Without You was Pat's idea, and this one is mine. Pat and I did the writing on both. Merry Christmas From Kandahar I spent quite a bit of time on this, and have put together a video as well. Some info on the video. My Nephew, Sgt Kris Huff supplied many of the pics in this, so you'll get to see him and his wife (and dog. The second verse has pictures from my childhood, including me and my little brother as well as mom and dad. Video for Kandahar The tracks are: Drums Real drums nashville outlaw 10 snare ride Bass 519 Electric guitar 1705 (comped from 3 tracks) B3 686 Piano 1729 Acoustic guitar 2 tracks of Taylor recorded live 5 vocal tracks of 3 lead/layer and 2 harmony Enjoy....and be sure to hit both versions...audio and video.

Scott, Ace, Space: Thanks...
just thinking back to what it was like being on duty and not able to go home to family at Christmas while in the USMC.
Glad you all liked the song.

Herb, The song is very well written and very well sung. The audio and video production are very well done. This is a great tribute to our troops so far from home. Thanks for coming up with the idea and following through. Tom

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
