Well thank you much Greg. I worked pretty hard on getting this piece to gel.

It comes from an idea about how the reactors work and all of the energy that is contained inside. If you listen at different levels you can hear all kinds of notes being played, inspired by a player that is no longer with us but did shape my arranging skills.

Hint first name Frank!


See Ya soon.

Yes very Zappa like!

I really like the motion in this one, i.e. lot of things happening at once. You did a super job getting all of this to gel together so nicely.

I loved your guitar in this, super chops man.

Great job on this – two thumbs up.


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.

Hi D A!

Very busy, yet not cluttered. It takes a fine touch to accomplish that and you pulled it off perfectly! And yes, the power and energy blasts through and captures us immediately. Loved all the instrumentation and the mix was great - hard to do with so much going on. A tip of the hat for a job very well done!

Top of the morning to Scott709, MarioD, Al-David, RichMac and others.

I just wanted to take this moment to thank all the forum members both young and seasoned (me), for having a hangout so that we can express one of our greatest desires the creative soul within each of us.

We know where it comes from and who gave it to us, the journey has been long, the past is gone, the "present" is a "gift" of here and now, this moment and all the future is left to the master arranger for whom we all are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14.

How cool is this that you can emulate a Zappa flavored song in BB?

Impressed..... yes!

Nice licks.

I got into Zappa for a time through a friend who was into FZ big time. Some brilliant stuff. To bad he's gone....

Back to your tune..... very nice indeed.

Greetings Dani! "I get good vibes by listening to
this."

Hopefully "Z-pinch" hasn't effected your hearing to much, I recommended
a good cup of Morning Coffee to go along with that!

I certainly felt the energy!

I wasn't expecting the jazzy sound, a neat departure from the rock stuff you've posted lately.

Professional as usual:)

Well coming from a great singer songwriter like you, I'll take that as a good thing.

Please do Eric. Excellent work.


Btw, I don't know what those toys are, but if they help you maintain your signature sound...start rolling:)

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."
